Was there anything that you did that did help your bun?

My bun has had many health issues as well he gets gi stasis quite often but hasn’t happened since late may, he’s had an ear infection which was pasteurella and we got that under control. At one point I found him limping out of nowhere and took him in and he had torn a muscle and they did…[Read more]

Some buns have damaged nasal mucosa, sometimes from an untreated URI way back in the past. A URI without overt  signs like excessive sneezing or thick snot can easily go undetected. I had a bun like that, he was 6 when I got him and he had some health issues.  Antibiotics didn’t help his nose, but he had no thick, opaque or colored nasal d…[Read more]

So what should I do? Every time I go they tell me he’s fine especially since he eats, plays, and drinks water just fine. That’s why I was looking into other things and came across the homeopet nose relief drops and they seem to be working.

Enrofloxacin is a broad spectrum antibiotic so it’s they typical go-to for vets. Some bacteria is resistant to it though. Not saying the squeaking is for sure a URI, but sometimes it takes several tries to get it right.

My vet gave me enrofloxacin and had me give it to him for a week but it didn’t help with his breathing. The only thing that is helping is the “homeopet nose relief drops”.

I agree with Bam, I don’t really see anything concerning in the video. Did the vet try looking in his nose to see if there was inflammation or an obvious obstruction?

If your local humane society adopts out bunnies, you could ask them who they use for a vet. Oftentimes you can find a more affordable vet for spaying/neutering that way.

Ahhh, living with bunnies can be highly rewarding (but sometimes a little complicated, especially when they’re all singles lol).

Once your Holland boy is all “aired out” from his neuter, you could let him be neighbors with the girl bun. Even being neighbors can give them a sense of companionship, I think, and may help him out. They may even “hang…[Read more]

Probably not a good idea to try putting them together until they are both done. You don’t want to cause false/phatom pregnancies or risk fighting (females can be territorial too). Plus he can still get her pregnant for several weeks following being neutered. I think they may like being next to each other in the same room in the meantime though.…[Read more]

My vet has listened to his lungs with a stethoscope and said everything sounds fine.  But when he was listening he did hear a little whistle like breathing but that was it. My vet thinks he has an upper respiratory issues like inflamed nasal passages and told me to try baby Benadryl and that didn’t help him. The only thing that seems to be wo…[Read more]

I can’t hear heavy breathing in this video. Your bun is breathing through his nose and he looks relaxed on his side. That’s how a resting bun should be.

Typically a rabbit in acute respiratory distress will brathe through its mouth. It wil sit up with its head tilted domewhat back. Those signs would be very bad indeed.

Has your vet listened to…[Read more]

Usually when people talk about dryness on the ears, it’s flaky. Like dandruff.

If he seems OK and it is improving, then I don’t see any reason to rush him to the vet. It could have been some kind of reaction.

Thank you for your kind reply, I really appreciate!

Hmm… that would really look similar-ish, like the itch mites.  At least in the initial stages, perhaps. Although now it looks more and more like dry skin, so I’m somewhat confused. (not like fur mites though) The thing is he is really not itching excessively at all, either – which I though…[Read more]

Good idea. This place is experiencing a lot of problems lately, and I would like it to keep helping other people too.

I would sleep close enough that you can intervene if something happens. Just for a day or two to make sure everything is well. Humping doesn’t need to be stopped unless it is causing the other bunny distress. A lot of times though, they will just hump things out and be all good. If you can see from the other bunny’s body language that a fight…[Read more]

I tried to upload a video of him breathing because I was finally able to get it but I don’t know if you’ll be able to see it because it says “this post is awaiting moderation”.

I don’t have a video every time I try to catch him breathing he stops. But you can hear him breathe so loud and the vet keeps telling me he’s fine. But if I do get a video how do I put it on here
