I’m so sorry for your loss. 🙁  You are a wonderful person for rescuing him and getting him vet care to give him a fighting chance. He’s very lucky to have spent time with you, even though it was short.

When I read this my heart jumped because I had a bunny named Bunston, and his loss prompted me to join this forum (he’s the little brown guy in…[Read more]

Update: Bunson passed away this afternoon in the vet’s office. He had just had enough of fighting, I think. The fever was just too much for him. The vet is making us a paw print, and he will be buried in our back yard with our other loved ones.

He wasn’t with us very long, but he sure stole our hearts.

Rabbits do not really acknowledge family units, so them being sisters does not guarantee they’ll get along, especially after a spay, where a hormonal spike occurs during recovery. Following puberty and being spayed, it is normal for rabbits to need a bit of a “booster shot” of the bonding process, if not need to go through the entire process. You…[Read more]

Admittedly having a hard time imagining it, but if you’re using Tespo stuff to create barriers/pens, that gets a green-light from me! Tespo has been most reliable as building blocks for the permanent pens and set-ups I’ve made for my rabbits! As long as it’s secure and can handle potential shoving/jumping/chewing from the rabbits, it should be OK!

Upon a closer look I actually think I see a bit of yellow scabbing at the bottom? Unsure if that’s wet or scab, but if it is, that is more on track for syphilis.

One of my rabbits looks somewhat similar and I believe it’s from bar chewing. If the rabbit was kept in a hutch for most of its life, it could be from constantly trying to get out?

If it is from bar chewing, it should get better in a better environment.

Notably my same rabbit also had syphilis. Syphilis can come from birth from an infected…[Read more]

Thanks for the ideas guys! I’ll look at those online. 🙂

Thanks for the reply! I appreciate your insights.

It seems that he took a downward swing overnight. His temp is up to 105.8, so I am waiting for the vet to open to get him in. His ears are cold though, which is different than before when his fever was this high. I’m keeping them damp with a Washcloth like the vet showed me.

This morning , he h…[Read more]

The pandemic wasn’t really sth you could plan for, except regarding the absolute basics, like having a small stash of extra food and meds at home. Don’t beat yourself up about that. Never mind what people say, nobody can ever be fully catastrophe-prepared. There are situations when it would be unwise to get a pet, f ex if you are severly in debt…[Read more]
