Hmm… this does look like dermatitis to me as well. You said his eye was red. Does it weep or run? Constant discharge can cause the fur to mat and then eventually fall off. As Dana mentioned, it could be related to a tooth root problem… or even a tear duct problem.

Another thought could be atypical syphilis, which can begin from the moist…[Read more]

It depends on what the 2×4 is made out of. Are you talking like a framing stud?

I’m glad to hear she is recovering well! What a trooper!

Poor bun bun 🙁

When the vet checked his teeth, did they take xrays? Sometimes elongated tooth roots can cause symptoms in the eye, so I’m wondering if that could be contributing?

Hmmmm, can you consult with the rescue you adopted them from? They may be able to help.  If the chasing is preventing Penelope from eating etc then separating may be a good idea. Then I would keep doing bonding sessions in a neutral space if you can.

I dont know whst this is, but it looks like acute moist dermatitis, pyotraumatic dermatitis aka hot spots, that dogs sometimes get. I don’t find anything specific about rabbits and pyotraumatic dermatitis on the face -moist dermatitis is a condition that’s mostly described in does with a big dewlap that gets wet when the bun drinks.

Thanks, Bam! I had a call with a very helpful vet who works at Lafeber yesterday (Jill Murray) and she also suggested that I try the Emeraid Sustain formula. I ordered it on Amazon yesterday and just gave a little to Bun a few minutes ago. Gotta love Amazon! He ate a little but wasn’t crazy about it like he is his Metacam so I mixed the Metacam in…[Read more]

I hope your bun’s leg is ok now! They can of course hurt ligaments and muscle in their legs if they take a “bad” jump -hopefully this was nothing serious!

Emeraid is recovery food and comes as a maintenance variety and an emergency variety. It’s the maintenance one that Dana has been using, with great results. It’s similar to Oxbow Critical Care,…[Read more]

Thanks everyone. Today things aren’t much better. When I entered the room there was a few episodes of chasing (Eloise always chasing Pen). Penelope has been hiding under a blanket for over an hour today 🙁 I think it’s because it’s the only way Eloise will leave her alone and not chase her. My husband went in and checked on Pen, and she did use…[Read more]

I know it, I feel so bad for all she has been through already, she needs a break. Yeah that is what the veterinarian was pretty much saying to me. Budja’s has been back at home for 3 days now, she has a re-check coming up this Friday. I am currently giving her injectable penicillin for 21 days and we are waiting on the results of the bacteria…[Read more]

There is a type of seizure similar to this where they are “frozen” and their eyes are wide open. They do not lose consciousness during they type of seizure. Here is something from Medirabbit that explains the differences: http://www.medirabbit.com/EN/Neurology/Metabolic/Seizures_en.pdf

poor buns, hope they sort it out soon. keep us posted!
