Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is a condition affecting the inner ear of the rabbit. This is usually the result of a bacterial or parasitic infection. The specific cause has to be diagnosed in order to help Loppet. For that reason, I highly recommend you have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Once the condition is diagnosed, it can then be treated. Good luck!
