do rabbits get headaches?

i was sitting in a road-jam today and noticed a rabbit standing on its back legs pulling off leaves from a willow sapling.I know willow is a folk remedy for headache (contain salacylic acid ie aspirin) and wondered if the rabbit knew this either instinctively or otherwise or just liked eating willow.I tested my daughters rabbit on willow and it shunned itDon’t know how you’d find this out other than ask one of those talking bonobo chimps

Most animals experience side effects from hormonal increases in their bodies. For example a lot of female animals such as birds, cats, pandas etc get very irritable, short tempered during breeding season. Many owners experience that their pets might start to nip when they are experiencing hormonal changes. As far as rabbits are concerned I believe they are just as susceptible to effects of hormones but I would not assume it is in the same manner we humans experience it. The biology and cognition of a rabbit is completely different than a humans so one can not call it pms which is a term that describes the mood changes a human woman experiences before she menstruates. Also since rabbits do not speak it is virtually impossible to establish whether or not they suffer from headaches. In short, rabbits may react to their hormones but not in the same way we humans do. ,,Well this is clear dat they get hormonal prob.. and they do not get head ache bcoz if dey get head ache, so they will be dead or be very serious.....

Not sure about headaches, but pretty much all mammals get pms. Animals don’t bleed alot (I have never noticed it.) but I don’t know enough to say whether they do or not.... Show More
