Ugh that is so frustrating!
If you did blood work and labs for both rabbits, 800 doesn’t seem out of the range of normal, but if that was just for one rabbit that is on the high end (depends on what tests were done though, blood work can be expensive). And charging you to run the test again when they suspect an error would raise a red flag for me…[Read more]

There is a vet like an hour or 30 mins away from me and I went there once but I didn’t really feel that the person was rabbit savvy. However, that was long time ago so perhaps they changed. They also have a new vet I heard. Most rabbit owners in the area come to the vet I’m seeing because there’s not many choices. The vet seems to have exper…[Read more]

I think I saw improvement for a while, but then it happened again slowly.
also update: I went to the vet for sore hocks (he said it’s just callus and that all rabbits have it) and mentioned the breathing and he said “yeah it’s chronic” and that’s pretty much it.
we also did blood tests for him and my other rabbit. my other rabbit showed re…[Read more]

Bam replied to the topic Water bowl questions in the forum DIET & CARE 2 years, 2 months ago
Hello again, party girl 💃 😃 💃
I find water bowls need deep cleaning a lot more often in the summer than in the winter. When you feel the inside off a bowl he bowl with your fingers, you can feel if there’s a “slippiness” covering the bowlwall, almost like oil. That’s a bacterial film. Its completely normal but it does provide an excellent…[Read more]

Hey party people! (I’m trying to be funny, sorry) It’s been a while since I was last here, I really need to check up here more often. Anyway I have a few questions, the first being how often should I clean Blossom and Thumper’s water bowls?
Just before I first got them (like 3 or 4 days before I got them) the research I did said to just rise and w…[Read more] -

yes I will I’m just waiting for him to have the right age so I can take it to the vet.

Yes it sounds like it’s definitely bunny puberty! Are you planning to get him neutered? That will help a lot with litter box habits. I do know one member here had a bun that reacted when she was on her period, but I think this sounds like puberty considering his age!

Bam replied to the topic Is salmonella contagious? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 2 years, 2 months ago
It’s not common for buns to contract salmonella from their buns. Rabbits seem more resistant to salmonella than humans. If you wash your hands plus abstain from actually kissing your bun until you feel well again, I’d say the risk of your bun catching salmonella from you is very, very low.

Hi everyone. I am currently on vacation and I think I got some type of food poisoning- about 12 hours after dinner I had horrible stomach cramps, diarrhea and vomiting. I know that there are many things that could cause this, but i’m concerned that it could be due to salmonella. I am going home in 2 days and will see my bunny and I am concerned t…[Read more]

Bam replied to the topic Rabbit is peeing out of litterbox in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 2 years, 2 months ago
It does sound like a form of territorial marking. Could you move his box so it sits on top of the favored spot? Some buns do seek out a lutterbox because its a litterbox, but its rather more common for a young bun to want to choose the “best” spot to pee in, regardless of what’s there. If you put the box on that spot, chances are good the bun will…[Read more]

Just to follow up on this in case anyone has a similar issue. I went a bit crazy and bought memory foam bath mats, the kids puzzle mat, and new 1/2” rug pads (I’ve been wanting to get these for a while so this finally pushed me to do so). I know the foam puzzle mats are not great for chewers, so I’m using it more as a pad underneath the area rug i…[Read more]

Hi!
So I have a question-my bunny Oreo, whom I rescued when he was abandoned in a local park in September of last year, has recently (just yesterday in fact) been peeing outside of the litterbox. He seems perfectly healthy and active: ears, eyes, nose, bum and fur are all clean and in good condition. He is still eating as normal and his poops…[Read more]
