We bought our bunny from a pet store in December 2005. Just this afternoon there seems to be something horribly wrong with her. We usually let her run around the house and she is litter box trained. I immediately noticed that with her cage door open she was still sitting in there instead of taking the opportunity to run around. Then I noticed her head was tilted to the side and she seemed to be staring into space. I picked up up to investigate and found that one of her ears seemed to be limp. Like it was "dead". Then there seems to be something wrong with the eye on that same side. You can wave your hand in front of her on that side and she doesn't move. Like she is blind. And you can actually touch her eyeball and she doesn't really blink. Just the "shield" goes over her eye quickly. She never closes that eye. And it seems like that side of her nose doesn't go up and down as much as the other side. Her other body parts like arms and legs on that side seem to be fine. I haven't noticed any change in diet or other habits or stool. What may have happened?
