Yes it seems to go back to the people who surrender him and their vet. Or the shelters vet?
Dang rabbits and they’re magical disappearing berries.

It’s lucky he ended up with you and you knew to question things and keep looking!

If not doing so already, it might be an idea to start mapping his weight and that might give you an idea of his age…[Read more]

I’m sorry she’s in decline again. It does seem rather cyclic in nature which might point to infection of some sort. I wonder what your vet would think about going ahead and medicating in her current state, based on symptoms alone.
Either fenbendazole or even baytril perhaps? My understanding is these are not harsh medications but I do not know the…[Read more]

Pegasus was such a beautiful boy! Those ears!

He got a long and wonderful life with you and Potamus and Flora. 💗

Hey JG! I still think of you as a mod as well lol. Either way, its always good to hear from you!💜

Yes, I let the shelter know and they had me bring him in just to double check. It turns out, like I suspected, the previous owners had said he was neutered and I think when they checked him, he had sucked ’em up, so during the short intake exam, he…[Read more]

Aw, my sweet Pegasus. I’m sorry for your loss JerseyGirl. I’m glad he was able to be the companion every bunny deserved. I’ll miss those dopey ears.

You’ll always be a mod in my eyes JG! 😉

Brunosmama – You know… maybe the shelter would be willing to pay for his neuter. It was their mistake, after all.

Unfortunately she is losing the weight I previously got her to gain. She is so skinny and the fecal tests that were done yielded no results but I will bring her back to get tested for EC. As much as would like to stay optimistic about what’s going on, I do fear the worst and that I may lose her however, I will not give up on finding the reason for…[Read more]

My heart goes out to you and I’m sorry for your loss.  You are among people who know this pain, this melancholy, so well. Truly.

It can be hard to express it and especially hard to explain to those who haven’t loved animals or don’t understand that a rabbit can be a cherished family member. She does deserve to be remembered.
Although forums…[Read more]

Hey BM!
Gosh, I’m glad it became obvious that he was still intact.  I’m curious if you let the shelter know your discovery? Mistakes happen obviously. The feedback might help them be extra careful about future intakes and adoptions. He could have ended up inadvertently contributing to the rabbit population in another home 😉

I’m sorry you and your bun had go go through that. EC is notoriously difficult to diagnose with tests, but some vets insist on testing before treatment. Some vets will treat anyway, on suspicion, because the standard treatment isnt very complicated and most rabbits tolerate it well. Standard treatment is 28 days of Panacur (fenbendazole), often…[Read more]

the initial tests we did were never looking for EC, just everything else – I mentioned they never flagged anything as I find it’s surprising given his symptoms that his kidney levels never raised alarm given how much the poor dude drank (I’m sure they were definitely being affected).

he was then diagnosed (misdiagnosed, I should say) as hav…[Read more]

What better thing to dream of than nanners?

Yeah, I think it’s possible as well. 🙂

Our old bunny Backers used to “eat” in his sleep lol. He would sit there chewing, sometimes poking his tongue out, with his eyes closed and clearly asleep. It was cute. I always figured he was dreaming of nanners lol. 🙂

I’ve seen bunnies twitching and “running” with their feet in their sleep, so I don’t think it’s far fetched to think they could have a dream about something that startles them.

It looks like it was irritated, but it does look better. My guess is something go in there or she was poked. Maybe by some hay.

Just took this photo today, i feel like it’s a healing scratching mark, since it’s not watery anymore and she wasn’t with a closed/half shuted eye. (Had to put the new image on Google Drive because i can’t pin anymore).

The test for EC is a titer. A fecal test is only going to look for worms, etc.
