Why did my rabbit fall and spin her head, but now seems okay?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | unspayed | 1lb

My rabbit may of eaten something sharp, she fell over backwards and then was spinning her head the whole way around. I’m not really sure what to do as she is hopping around fine now.

It sounds like poor Bella had an abnormal episode. If she is currently acting normal I would not recommen doing anything at this time. However it is possible she had a seizures or even another neurologic even that caused this behavior. If you notice she is not eating,drinking or acting lethargic I would recommend taking her to the vet for a good exam. If she continues this behavior I also would recommend a good exam to dig a little deeper. i hope that helps
