My Netherland dwarf rabbit, Muffin, has been pretty sick lately. I'm taking her back to the vet tomorrow.
I'm not necessarily a Theist myself, but keep her in your thoughts and hope for the best. :[
Here's a picture of her right before she fell asleep next to my husband:

Thanks, everyone, for the support. Turns out Muffin has vestibular disease which affects the area of her brain responsible for balance. Thankfully, it's a common condition in rabbits and is easily treatable with antibiotics. She should be feeling better really soon. ^_^

Oh I hope your bunny will make a speedy recovery! I had a pet bunny once, his name was Izzy and he was an angora lop ear (only one ear was loppy though, the other was always straight up!) and he was an awesome pet. He'd chase the cat around and just owned the place, had buckets of attitude and was super friendly.
Rabbits are really great pets and they have such diverse personalities, very much like cats and dogs.
Best wishes to your Muffin, I'm sure that with having people that love her and the proper meds she'll be just fine

My bunny Sabrina has had the same problem for years now. She often got ear infections when she was young and now antibiotics don't seem to work as well on her anymore. Our vet told us to take her off of them (due to her old age, she's ten years old) and just make her cage nice and soft so if she did fall, she won't hurt herself. She does still fall over a lot and has a number of old bunny problems, but she is doing great for her age and still has energy to run all over the house.
Hope your Muffin gets better! =)
