To the rabbit people on this forum, do any of you know if you can help me?
This morning when I went outside my older lionhead rabbit (10-11) fell off his balcony, and it wasnt just an accident. He tipped over and fell sideways. As I watched him hop around, he appeared a little off balance on his left side.
His head is the tiniest bit tilted to the left side, hardly noticable. At one point he was sitting with his legs kind of spread out, as if trying to steady himself.
When I tossed fresh hay in there, he started to eat it. When sitting still he almost gets that pained look in his eye, but he does appear to be acting pretty normal. Was just as excited as ever to get his morning treat of pineapple.
I've been doing research but nothing really answers my specific case. I doubt a stroke because both eyes are functioning normally, his mouth is fine, no sagging or drooling.
Editing to say that I'd like some opinions first before rushing him to a vet. Thank you.
I can try to get pictures or videos if needed.
