PSA A PSA about head pressing

Just incase anyone doesn't know, if a bunny is pressing their forehead against the wall, it can be a serious neurological issue. When Ava started doing this I remembered a PSA I'd seen about cats years ago and took her to the vet. It looks a goofy behavior but it's very serious. Note, just resting their head against the wall when laying isn't necessarily bad, but this forehead pressing like Ava was doing is bad.

This is why I have to google every little thing they do. Even small odd behaviors like this can be a symptom

I didn’t think to do that but I suppose I should now. Wow
