I understand. The only problem is that my husband doesn’t want to be woken up in the night because he has a job that requires lots of thinking. And my daughter’s room is right there.

I will see what I can come up with

thank you

Gotcha! I would recommend transitioning them to living together 24/7 before attempting to move them to a non-neutral location. You’ll want to at least be within earshot the first 2 nights so you can hear if a fight breaks out. Bonded bunnies should be together all the time, so modifying their cages so they can be completely together would be best.

I brought them into a neutral setting and slowly got them together while supervised. It took about 2 weeks for the bonding process to work. They were giving each other baths. Then they started laying and cuddling together. They are together till night time. Their cages are right against each other and they go in their cages only when w go to bed.…[Read more]

Can you give a bit more info on what you have done to bond them? Have they been living together 24/7 inside? If they have been living together 24/7 and appear to be fully bonded inside then you should be able to move them without issues.

I’d wait until tomorrow when you can send the photos to your vet.

If you decide to remove the cone, do it temporarily, for when you can watch her. Cleaning herself is ok, vigourously pulling at and chewing the nether regions is not ok.

She is not on an antibiotic and they told me to keep her cone on I’m worried she will chew the incision. So she hasn’t been able to clean the area, should I let her?

The photos don’t look overly concerning to me, but it is hard to tell with the black fur growing in around the area. Hopefully she can clean the poop off herself. Is she on an antibiotic? I would think so since her uterus was infected. If she is, then I wouldn’t worry too much about the incision becoming infected.

Sending pics to the vet is definitely the best call. As long as there wasn’t an enormous amount of mushy poo, she can likely clean herself and you won’t need to worry about it. Since her functioning seems fine, that’s a very positive sign, but getting the green check mark from the vet after showing pics would be best!

I’m sorry noone has answered!

It does look like its mushy poop, but I too would be reluctant to clean it since its so close to the spay incision, without consluting with my vet first.

Hopefully you can contact your vet first thing Monday morning and maybe email them the pix?

It’s great that she’s eating and doesnt appear to be in any pain!

Thanks for the replies, I really appreciate it.  I will be calling my vet tomorrow, they’re closed on weekends.  I had him there at the end of December at the start of all this, and I asked if it could be EC and he didn’t think so at all.  Now maybe it happened secondary from fighting the ear infection/respiratory infection that he started wi…[Read more]

I agree this looks like a bit more than “just” the typical cataracts you see in (virtually all) aging pets.

There would be little harm in treating for ec. A very rare side effect is bone marrow suppression. I recently chatted with one of our old forum members who’s bun got bone marrow suppression during treatment with a bendazole. For this bun it…[Read more]

Hmm… just looking at the photo, I’d say that is more than just old age. Cataracts caused by age tend to be the posterior kind. Have you had his eye pressure checked? Cataracts like that can lead to glaucoma.

Thank you so much DanaNM and LBJ10 for both of your replies.  I am aware of EC related ones but I am certain he was like this way before symptoms started, perhaps years?  They didn’t change quickly, I totally missed it because I didn’t know that’s what would make his eyes look that way until I started doing some research.  I usually feel like I’…[Read more]
