My baby bunny is 3 weeks old and has a loud gurgly tummy …. Can I give him a very small amount ?

Good to know! And yes it seems that bravery and fear are two sides of the same coin!

Oh this is so tough, we dealt with a bun like this in the shelter. He would groom himself to the point where he would cause open wounds. In his case it appeared to be anxiety related. 🙁

One of the rescue staff fashioned a little shirt for him to prevent him from grooming the hot spots. She had to keep him with her basically 24/7 because if he…[Read more]

If you free-roam an unspayed female and an unneutered male this is essentially a guarantee of pregnancy. Just as a reminder, the topic of intentional breeding is forbidden on this forum.

This looks like it could be a failed pregnany (miscarriage), the best thing is to have your bunny checked out by the vet as soon as you can. If she isn’t…[Read more]

It’s very difficult to overdose probiotics unintentionally. What the bun cant use just passes through.

Okay, thank you! He is getting a dose of his antibiotics twice a day. Should I give him a dose of probiotics twice a day too during the course of the antibiotics?

If you need other probiotics to explore…

My vets has prescribed Probios equine gel before. Vet has also mentioned HeathyGut Probiotics for Rabbits. Both can be obtained OTC e.g.Chewy and Amazon has them. My buns are on antibiotics and I was told to also give them probiotics everyday. I can’t separate the meds since one is extremely difficult so…[Read more]

It is a good idea to give Benebac when a bun is on antibiotics, but it’s even more important to give it after the course of antibiotics is over, because that’s when the gut is trying to re-establish a healthy gut microbiota.

Dont give probiotics at the same time as the antibiotics, wait a few hours.

Thank you all for the replies!! He had a really horrible pile of poop (looked like a splat) a few days ago and it’s been a while since the last time that happened. He had that after his surgery and his poops would be perfect for a day after the bad pile, and then they would get bad again and it would be a whole cycle.

Right after his bad pile…[Read more]

Thanks! I think that’s what I’m going to do. They can still enjoy their time side-by-side for now and we’ll resume full bonding after the trip.

Yes I know isn’t poop I meant i had found with her poop but I thought she may have been pregnant from seeing the male bunnie mating with her and how she had been acting lately.

That’s not poop. From the pictures, it looks like it came from her uterus. You say you thought she may have been pregnant?

I also find that strange. I had to do nail trims at the vet for years and indeed she weighed and examined teeth and ears every single time but only charged me $20 per bun.

Is there someone besides your sister who you might be able to lean on for help?
