I would probably opt to reduce the treats and do the supplemental feeding instead. Emeraid is very good at helping poorly rabbits maintain their weight and is nutritionally balanced and not going to trigger stasis, unlike treats. The treats could also be causing her to eat less hay.

Definitely take him to the vet! Urinary crystals can cause blood in urine.

Don’t beat yourself up, I went through the same thing with my bun. We thought it was just age and arthritis until he started circling and had head tilt… that was months after he started peeing outside the box and having hind leg weakness.

Key is to just start treating with panacur ASAP, and I would do follow ups to check on his kidney function.…[Read more]

It does sound like EC to me but I wouldn’t beat yourself up; it’s often misdiagnosed by even vets, so while yes I would have said he should have been brought the second a problem was suspected if you did bring him to the vet earlier there’s no way of knowing as to whether he would have been treated in time anyway. Mistakes get made, it is unfor…[Read more]

Oo sorry just to follow up following call with vet, panacur can cause immunosuppression and she said she wouldn’t blanket treat her own as standard, so just have EC in the mind rather than heading for the drugs 🙂

It is important that a rabbit eats hay, but are your vet aware of this with this very rapid weightloss? She’s almost lost half her weigth?

Some buns benefit from a bit of alfalfa hay mixed in with the grass hay. Alfalfa is richer in protein. The downside is that it aldo contsins a lot of calcium, which would not be good if there’s a urinary tract…[Read more]

Hiya

apologies on a bit of a crusade as I didn’t consider EC. I got my bunny about a year and a half ago and he always drank loads! Recently (5 months – I should’ve done something sooner 🙁 ) he’s been  peeing outside of his litter box but is overall very healthy so I didn’t think much of it, but it’s got worse so I took him to the vet yesterday…[Read more]
