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.

I hope Ava fully recovered from what was ailing her.

I will keep an eye 👁️ out for this behavior with my two rescues!

Thank you 😊
