Had to order the Revolution online and it just came in today. One question – the vet said to give Fresno a 5mg dose every 7 days. I purchased the tubes for 40-80 pound dogs (per her instructions). Does this sound correct?

On these forums, we strive to be non-judgemental. This is because judging and guilting is counter-productive. When someone is honestly striving like you are, judging wont achieve improvement.

If you feel bad about giving no pellets at all, you could perhaps give 2-3 pellets/day as treats? You could give them as a reward for behaviours you want to…[Read more]

Compulsive grooming (as opposed to normal grooming frequency) is often a sign of discomfort/stress, so it is good that she is going to the vet. I recommend blood work since you cannot identify anything objective that has changed.

Thank you so much for your insight! That is so funny you mentioned felting your bunny’s fur… my mom was recently doing that with her cat’s fur! haha.

But thank you for your help!

I don’t know the reason for the cecal dysbiosis, she’s only on hay and water i don’t see what could possibly disturb her stomach. She’s cleaning herself like a freak.

If she’s been having more wet poos due to the cecal dysbiosis, it could be from that. With my Fable, she became inflamed down there as a consequence of all her gut stuff and the constant wet poo/grooming she’d do down there.

I wouldnt consider gypsum safe. As Katydid says, it’s not toxic, but it wouldnt be good if he ingested it. If it’s a pretty toy maybe you could just use it as a decoration, out of your bun’s reach?

Hi, I suppose with your boy you mean your bunny 🙂 I wouldn’t give it to the bunny. I only did a quick search but both the gypsum and the paint might be harmful to the rabbit. Gypsum is not deadly to rabbits but it might cause trouble if they ingest it, and there is always a risk that the rabbit will chew on it. The best material for toys is wood,…[Read more]

No, no straining at all. She acts perfectly fine eating drinking running around, no signs of pain. I stopped giving her pellets she’s only on hay now, i suppose that should stop the cecal dysbiosis. I picked her up this morning it looks much better than yesterday but it still looks a little bit swollen maybe from all the pooping and licking the…[Read more]

I suppose if she is messing with the area a lot, it could become irritated. You could try to clean it up, but messing with it too much is just going to irritate it more. Have you noticed any incontinence or straining to pee? Sometimes a UTI will manifest as genital irritation.

How big are we talking?

It’s possible it’s the new smelling object. It also could be because you aren’t spending as much floor time with her. Do you still sit on the floor with her while she’s out?

I’m curious, how old is she, and is she spayed? Some of the behaviors you mention sound like hormonal teenage bunny behaviors, so I’m wondering if it could actually just be…[Read more]
