I don’t serve her pellets in a bowl I give her one by one pellet from my hand while she runs around it’s a morning routine we have:) Thank you for everything, I really appreciate your help.

Such a tiny amount couldnt contain so much honey that it’d pose a problem. Fingers crossed she keeps improving!
If the drooling was due to aspiration of food, it could lead to aspiration pneumonia. This can be difficult to detect for the rabbit caretaker, so it’d be good if your vet could see your rabbit again in a couple of weeks and listen to…[Read more]

I don’t know what vitamins I forgot to ask. She told me it’s given to animals when they are sick, something like a food supplement. I should feed her everyday 2-3 drops until the syringe is empty and now it has 4ml.

I’m glad she’s doing better!
<p style=”padding-left: 40px;”>Three drops is a tiny amount, so I dont think it will do any harm. Since it’s in a formulation, it’s probably sterile honey. It’s correct that rabbits shouldnt eat honey or sugary treats, but a tiny little bit is not a problem. What vitamins does the supplement contain? Vitamin B is often…[Read more] -

Guys I also have to ask you something because I’m a little confused. Today the vet gave me some multivitamin syrup in syringe and she said it is used for dogs, cats, rabbits and i think parrots but I’m not sure. Then she also mentioned that the syrup contains honey, but I’ve read on google that you should not feed your rabbit honey. I gave Mrvica…[Read more]

She stopped drooling on Sunday the same day she got GI. I don’t know what was with the drooling maybe there was something toxic in the hay but I’ve always used that hay so i don’t know what was the problem but the vet didn’t think it was something serious. And about the GI i think it happened because on Saturday i gave her a trim and that day she…[Read more]

LBJ10 replied to the topic Snuffles? Should I be worried? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 2 years, 11 months ago
Technically, “snuffles” isn’t a real disease. It is an umbrella term for an upper respiratory infection in rabbits. People typically associate it with Pasteurella. But an upper respiratory infection can be caused by all sorts of bacteria, not just Pasteurella. Yes, Pasteurella and other types of bacteria can be “contagious”. However, an upper…[Read more]

Hi everyone! I am currently away at college and my dad is taking care of my bunny (2.5 year old Lionhead) and his bunny (7 year old Lionhead) at home while I am away.
I went home to visit this weekend and noticed that his bunny had some clear crust around his nostrils and the fur on the inside of his paws was slightly crusty as well. He is…[Read more]

I’m glad you were able to get some pain meds. Did they say anything about her possibly choking on something? I thought about that too since there appears to be a green tint, as if food was mixed in there.

Hello! Thank you for advice!
I actually have expanded the space and it seems like the male rabbit is way less stressed. They are spending some time apart, but will lay next to each other too.
The growling has not completely stopped, and yes I think you’re right, it’s not full boxing, just swatting when he growls. A new behavior has emerged too…[Read more]

Im glad you took her so she got a painkiller and GI meds! I think the GI is due to some sort of dental or facial issue, so if the drooling persists, it needs to be checked out. Is she still drooling?

And regarding the teeth and the drooling the vet said she doesn’t think that something is stuck in her mouth she opened her mouth but she can’t see anything without x-ray so if the drooling continues I’m taking her to the other ambulance for x-ray.

No I’m from Europe:) I took her today and they gave her the same 2 injections from the last time she had GI stasis (pain relief and something to get her metabolism working) and she seems better not great but better than yesterday. She eats from my hand only. I’m taking her again tomorrow and they will be examining a sample of her poo for any…[Read more]

Bam makes a good point. An emergency vet may be able to stabilize things by providing fluids and pain medication until you can see a rabbit vet. Are you in the US? Monday (today) is a holiday. Bunnies can’t go for days without eating, so you have to get something in her.

Hey!
So what you are describing does sound fairly normal during bonding. The male is showing a bit of aggression because he is probably feeling territorial and is not ready to accept the female entirely just yet.
Bonding can sometimes be quite difficult and take some time before the rabbit establish their hierarchy. Is it true boxing you are…[Read more]

Bam replied to the topic My Bunny Stressed and Won't Eat? in the forum BEHAVIOR 2 years, 11 months ago
Yay! 😃
It does sound like it was a bout of gas. Rabbits can get gassy due to stress/a fright, some are of course more prone than others. Many buns get gassy at the onset of a molt. Once the gas passes, the rabbit goes right back to normal again.

If its sth thats gotten stuck or trauma to teeth or the jaw, it can of course happen very fast. Then it gets worse due to swelling, which causes pain and discomfort. You must keep her warm. If she hasnt eaten in 8-12 hours you should syringe feed some really really sloppy CC or pellet mush. She does need to see a vet asap. Idk if you could find a…[Read more]
