I’m so sorry about your bunny Rain, truly. It’s really hard when your trying your all and sometimes we just don’t get dealt with the right hand unfortunately, I’ve been there with my prior rabbit Milo. I definitely agree this vet is working hard as well, It’s nice to finally have a vet that is open to new ideas and willing to try different things,…[Read more]

Thanks Bam. I really appreciate your messages as the vets are so vague. They are nice, but the clinic is also the only exotic pet emergency clinic for a large area so they are really busy.

Dorian started pooping again  finally,  not a lot and they are tiny. But enough I am not worried.  They started out really smushy so I  did call the vet, he…[Read more]

That’s excellent! Fingers crossed this change sticks! 😀

Dana you are a life saver.

We did a good deep clean of the carpet, left the boxes themselves pretty messy so they smelled like the latrine, and started a switch of litter to Carefresh. Fingers crossed and knock on wood but we’ve been 4 days without a single bit of pee outside of the box. In hindsight I’m not surprised he’d start getting picky…[Read more]

If he’s not had much food he wont poop much. The buprenorphin slows the gut. He needs to move and he needs more food and water. Hydratipn is very important for the gut.

Great that you’ve been able to increase the amount to 60 ml! My Vilde got about 90-100 ml/day, but he was just 1.4 kilos.

I’ve mixed CC with some baby fruit pure (baby smoothie…[Read more]

Managed another feeding, got a full 30ml, so he has had close to 60ml, if I am guessing correcsince he had spit out a lot, but at least at 50ml. He has been eating a little hay and even had several stalks of Cilantro. The problem now is no poops.  The stopped sometime after 2 – 3pm (so around 7 – 8 hrs). He has not really moved much during this…[Read more]

I don’t know how things work there, but I agree with Dana. You should try calling right when they open and explain that he is in urgent need of attention. Even if my vet is booked, they have allowed me to drop off first thing in the morning. Then they look at bunny between appointments when they have time.

Thanks @Bam! That makes me feel better. Feeding critical care has been a big challenge.  If I can get 10ml if I am lucky.  They were struggling to get him to take it at the vets too. I am trying to go for more feedings, but also trying not to do to many as he struggles enough that I am worried about his stitches. He’s eating a little hay, he d…[Read more]

thank you guys i will really try.. thank you!

I think it sounds good. Enrofloxacine is a broad-spectrum abx that is effective against many common bacteria that might affect rabbits. Metronidazole is for anaerobic bacteria in the intestine.

Buprenorphin is an opiod and a good pain med for rabbits post abdominal surgery. It can make the rabbit quite out of it though, which under the…[Read more]

He’s free roam but doesn’t like to venture too far from his room. I think if he was too I would confine whilst they were bad and when better just make sure to have the soft bits where I know he spends most of his time. I notice he puts pressure on them when cleaning himself and usually only does that in 1 spot so that has a soft bath mat there :)…[Read more]

Ugh how stressful. I do agree with Bam that you should keep trying… this does look like it needs veterinary attention.  Sometimes it helps to call first thing in the morning when they open and don’t downplay anything. Stress that she has a swollen and open wound on her face that is getting worse.

Poor Dorian 🙁

Hay tea would be great for him. It’s really good he’s eating a little. Here’s the link: https://binkybunny.com/forums/topic/hay-tea-for-anybunny-who-doesnt-drink-enough-especially-for-ill-or-recovering-rabbits/

When I made the hay tea for BunJovi he only liked it fresh, so I just made a little at a time.

You can definitely make…[Read more]

The vet was big on they should remain separated, so he is in an xpen in living room. I  did let her say hi briefly to him as she really wanted to, but he really way to drugged up and not really up for her energy level.  She kept hopping on the box he is hiding in and startling him.

Also his medication list is out of control

Metronidazole & E…[Read more]

This really doesnt look good at all, but you know that.

You could perhaps try Beaphar OTC  ivermectin spot on (rabbit safe antiparasitic that’s effective against several skin parasites) but this looks more like it’d need antibiotics. It kind of reminds me of hot spots that dogs can get.

(PSA: Dont use any antiparasitic containing fipronil on a…[Read more]
