Many people do report good effects of Benebac for rabbits. It has enterococchus faecium, which is a bacterium that is highly prevalent in the healthy bunny gut. Most lactobacilli are not believed to survive the very acid environment of the rabbit stomach, but that goes for adult rabbits – in baby buns those bacteria have a better chance of…[Read more]

So I have had male rabbits in the past but never a female and I don’t want to make a vet appointment if this is perfectly normal. She eats perfectly normal, drinks about half her bowl a day, LOVES her hay. All her poops are normal, she plays and runs and tosses her toys around. No discharge, no watery eyes, no runny nose. But her butt looks like t…[Read more]

Thanks using Bene-bac , the only thing I could find local. I did see a discussion some people claimed the formula changed years ago and it does not work, but felt it may be better than not having anything as other claimed success with it. I was not sure about brewers yeast, is that something I can just get any brewers yeast at the store?

What probiotic are you using? Certain strands of live saccharomyces cerevisiae (brewer’s yeast) has been shown to improve weight gain and gut health in baby rabbits.
The pH in the baby bunny stomach is higher than in the stomach of an adult bun, because the baby is supposed to get healthy gut microbes from suckling their mum. This means the…[Read more]

Yes, rapidly developing cataracts and incontinence are typical signs of e cuniculi. Treatment consists of 28 days of Panacir (fenbendazole). It’s a slow acting drug and it wont cure the cataracts. The Pancur is often combined with metacam (meloxicam) to alleviate the tissue inflammation caused by the e c.
Some vets will treat on symtoms only,…[Read more]

I would like to add what I observed when she mounted him and also stole the food. She pins her ears back, which I reckon is a sign of aggression. This morning, as well, she pins her ears back in her demands for grooming. She ran after him a bit, nibbling him, pinning her ears back, demanding to be groomed a few times by forcing her head down,…[Read more]

Thank you for the link, Yes I’ve been unable to find a rehab center as of yet but am trying, the doors were locked and closed when I went and another one said they they are too full to take any new intakes. In the interim we are just trying to keep them alive.

I’m sorry your bunny is unwell. I’m not sure what you were reading, but what you stated (i.e. live a full lifetime) is not exactly true. Most bunnies have been exposed to EC at some point. Their immune system will suppress it and the majority will never exhibit any symptoms. So, yes, they can live with EC. A smaller percentage of bunnies will show…[Read more]

You can wipe it down with water afterward. Otherwise, I doubt it would be harmful once dried since the residue would be such a minute amount.

Hi all,
I have two structures made of untreated wood that my rabbits have urinated on. I can get most of the staining out with a vinegar/water solution, but I’m wondering how to best get stubborn stains and odors out that is safe for the bunnies. I’ve read to use hydrogen peroxide and baking soda, but since this is something the bunnies can…[Read more]

<p class=”p1″>About two months ago I woke up one morning and my holland lop rabbit had what looked to be a cataract that popped up on both of his eyes so I kind of just brushed it off and thought well he is 7 years old. At first I was seeing this is quite common from what I read. However, the more I dug into it, I saw that about how fast the spots…[Read more]

Since this is a house rabbit forum, most members are not going to have experience with rehabbing wild cottontails. Do you have a rehabber in your area? In some states, it is illegal to possess cottontails. I would recommend trying to find a local rehabber. In the meantime, this website gives some tips on how to get them to urinate:…[Read more]

I agree that it is worth having it checked. It could be irritation/swelling, an obstruction, or simply the shape of her sinuses. You want to make sure though before just saying it is normal for her.

I’ve had buns that did this their whole lives. Some all the time regardless and others just when breathing harder. Though it’s not normal, it could be something “normal” for that bun. Would get it checked out first before determining that though.
