  He needs to see a vet. That’s the only thing you can do – why haven’t you taken him to a vet?

  Yes, he does need to be seen by a vet as soon as possible. Loss of balance can be a neurological problem, an ear problem, or due to a parasite.

  Do not attempt to give him any of those remedies!
  Please take him to the vet! He needs to be seen.

  Yikes–that is very scary. It could be a number of things, including E. cuniculi, a protazoa that can cause paralysis if it infects the brain. It’s treatable with medicine, but most definitely take your bunny to the vet ASAP. If your vet isn’t open on the weekends, I’d take him to an emergency vet.

  I hope you were able to get him to an emergency vet because it is an emergency.
  Please let us know how he is doing and what the vet said is happening.
