Is it thick, white or otherwise colored snot?

If you cant make the medical shirt work by washing/shrinking it, maybe you could make an e-collar of a paper saucer? It is of course important that your bun cant reach to bite at the surgical wound.

Update: She’s acting fine now, I’m not sure if it was a little bit of gas or she just needed to wake up from her nap more lol.

Yesterday evening I got her to eat a good bit of hay and some of the orchard hay too, I spread out some hay in a big storage bin so she could pick through it better and it worked, she ate out of it for a while.

I gave…[Read more]

Vetericyn Plus seems very good for rabbits. We have one member that uses it for their elderbun, as prescribed by their vet. I’ve never used it myself but I have it on my list of potentially very useful meds. You could perhaps try it since it is OTC.

Dexamethasone pills doesnt seem like a grest option for a bun, I agree. Oral corticosteroids are…[Read more]

Ended up feeding him some critical care which seemed to perk him up. He ran about like toddler on a sugar high and refused to eat hay or greens but did eat a small piece of apple and tried to get more. He’s stopped being so hyper and has had a little hay and drank a lot of water, so here’s hoping he’s on the mend.

Thank you for the term “barbering”! I looked it up and yes, I think that may be what’s going on with all the possibilities open.

We will finally be going to the vet soon (appts are far out) and will check to see if the one being barbered has any other issues that may be related but I think the one doing the barbering, at a minimum, needs more…[Read more]

Oh no, that’s awful! It’s a rare occurrence, but it’s horrible if it happens to your bun. I’m very sorry for the loss of your sweet, gorgeous Milo. You’ve gone through so much together, it feels so unfair that your time together was way too short.

You only wanted the best for him, and having him neutered would indeed give him more options. It’s…[Read more]

Any thoughts on Vetericyn Plus?

They’re not sure honestly. I also took him to another vet for a second opinion and they prescribed 0.5 mg dexamethasone tablets, which doesn’t seem like a better option as it’s a steroid. I did end up administering the spray last night and he seems to be doing fine today, but I’m still hesitant, especially given the link you provided. It is looking better.

Oof, it sounds like they all coordinated it again to the minute. How on earth do they do it, across continents with different weather patterns and halfway around the globe?

We saw a documentary lately called “Remarkable Rabbits”. It showed the mating ritual of wild rabbits, and we noticed that Owen and Molly make exactly the same binkies as…[Read more]

Thank you so much, Dana!  Yeah, it sounds like we are in very similar boats here.  Big hugs to you and Bun Jovi!!

One question about the tramadol: have you found any tricks to get Bun to eat it willingly?  We got a liquid form that I think is compounded (it’s pink and milky-looking) but it’s super bitter (I tasted a tiny drop – yuck!) and Te…[Read more]

Binky free Rain — you crossed the rainbow bridge with such loving support from your human. What a beautiful place you’ve made for Rain.

My buns too! Coop and Bonnie have been absolutely bonkers! We’ve had some weirdly warm days as well and everyone’s molting like crazy!
