Baby Bunny Going In Circles *Desperate*

[PIPPAFUNNY]

Hi
I have a litter of netherland dwarf rabbits.1 white baby is very small. Today they are 11 days old. We don't think he/she is a peanut as it looks exactly like it's siblings but in miniature no bulging eyes,deformedness etc. What it does is keep going in circles I've been gently holding it down and encouraging to go in the opposite direction which it does but it falls over onto its back but it flips itself back over.It is slowly getting better and going in other directions but every now and again it starts spinning

Will he/she get better and what is wrong?
Advice needed desperately

Sounds like head tilt?? balance issues....I'd take it to the vets so they can do a proper check and possibly prescribe antibiotics

the baby's head doesn't tilt at all it just seems really unsteady

Could have an ear or sinus infection. I would if possible have him checked out. They hide pain very well, better to be safe with these guys.

what are the chance of him living and will he ever act like a normal rabbit as in will the spinning stop?

You won't know unless you get him checked. He could just have a brain injury, if that is the case, the sooner you find out the better. Don't let him suffer.
