Was he being treated for anything immediately prior to this? Antibiotics? Mucus is typically either a reaction to antibiotics or a sign of inflammation/irritation in the gut. Inflammation or irritation can be caused by any number of things and can also simply be the result of GI stasis itself.

Regardless, 37 hours with no poops is very worrisome.…[Read more]

Hey, sorry I realised that I didn’t reply to this.

You’re reply was very helpful thanks for taking the time to reply! I tossed the willow to be on the safe side and bought them dried willow sticks instead – they aren’t as much of a fan of the very dried stuff though.

The corn grass is a fantastic idea! I plan to get a big tub / container and…[Read more]

Hey!

That was a really sweet update 🙂 10+ are really good ages! Sounds like you are giving them a super nice retirement life and they sound like they are generally in good health!

Glenn and Nellie are just about to enter their senior years at 8 and approx 9 – 10. Nellie is definitely showing signs of age but also she had a hard early life which…[Read more]

Hiya Azerane! Nice to see you! I’m glad to hear Apollo and Luna are still chugging along, even if it isn’t as well as they once did. One of the hardest things is adjusting to caring for an elderly pet and accepting that they just can’t do the stuff they used to be able to do.

Yes, you really shouldn’t bathe a bunny. There are a few extreme situations where one is warranted, of course, but the vast majority of the time a bath would do more harm than good. I agree with Bam that he could just have crappy fur that was the result of a crappy diet. It will take time for that fur to be replaced with healthier fur.

As for the…[Read more]

You’re quite right in that rabbits don’t need full baths and they shouldnt have a full bath except in extreme scenarios where the bun has gotten sth toxic all over its fur.

Revolution could help though, not all mites are very visible to the naked eye. Vets often treat with Revolution on suspicion. Even if a vet does a tape-test, they might not…[Read more]

Welcome! What a cutie pie!

I wonder if doing an elimination diet could be a good idea? To see if there is an ingredient in the pellets or a specific veggie that could be triggering him? I know some members have had issues with one specific thing causing gas (like one slightly brown mint leaf). Some buns also don’t seem to tolerate veggies well. And of course others just get…[Read more]

I agree. A lot of times, gunk will become loose and it will be moving around inside the ear canal causing a “tickle”.

thank you so muchhhhh! Yes he’s doing amazing! he’s adorable 🥰

There could be goo in the outer ear canal, ie wax and debris. The drops are supposed to soften that up so it can come out, sometimes it’s even a bit protruding so you can see it if you look inside the ears, sometimes its even possible to pull out stuff with tweezers. If there is debris that can’t come out, your vet should be able to  express…[Read more]

Oh, he’s adorable! What a gorgeous color 💝 Sounds like he is settling in excellently!
