It does sound like it could be his teeth. It’s quite, quite possible to do everything right and the bun still develops molar spurs when it gets old. It’s great that he’s still eating hay!

I’d say go to the vet sooner rather than later, and preferably before he stops eating (which a rabbit is highly likely to do if it has dental pain -it doesnt…[Read more]

You can use manukka honey on wounds on rabbits, but I would NOT use it on her without asking your vet if it’s ok to try. The “problem” with manukka honey is that its very very tasty, so the risk is she’ll want to clean her face with her paws to get to the honey. This could make matters worse, obviously. You would probably need to put a cone on her…[Read more]

I would say if you are brushing them and the fur isn’t readily coming off, then the shedding is slowing down. I wouldn’t worry about overgrooming unless you’re being aggressive with it.

Hmm… did you look down there? Could his scent glands be clogged? Or maybe the area is bothering him for some reason? I could see a rabbit moving their tail if they are getting a sensation back there.

Snuffles is often used as a “catch-all” term that describes the symptoms. Did the vet confirm this was pasteurella? Or is it some other type of bacteria? How were his teeth checked? Did you have x-rays done? There are a few different possibilities here. He could have chronic pasteurellosis. He could have a really stubborn URI. Or he could have…[Read more]

I’m so sorry you haven been going through this, very stressful!

I suspect that Leo’s illness may have been what initially caused the fight, but it sounds like this might have been a pretty tough bond to begin with. There is a possibility that they just aren’t a good match and/or are holding a grudge over the fight. I think in your case it would…[Read more]

I would wait until you see only positive behaviors and no negative behaviors for at least 48 hrs. Since you’d like to go straight from neutral to the final home it’s important to make sure they are really fully bonded before moving them.

Sometimes moving to a new but still neutral spot can help them sort out final issues and really cement. Is…[Read more]

I’m sorry you are going through this. I haven’t dealt with this personally, but i know some members have had success with using a nebulizer along with treatment.

She could need a longer course, respiratory infections can be hard to kick.

She was on the antibiotic for 10 days

Thank you for your reply!

No, I didn’t mean exactly like that. He always lift gis tail when peeing and also like you said, when he is curious, he would lift it up too.

But this is something really new to me, he would do that without anything specific happening. Yesterday he was laying and once he stood up he started doing that, other day he was…[Read more]

Thank you so much for the help!
