Not all vets recommend treatment for pinworms in rabbits. Pinworms are not considered a health threat to the rabbit. My vet says she treats, because it doesnt feel nice for the owner if their bun has worms.

Fenbendazole is effective agsinst pinworms. Normal dosage is 20 mg per kilo body weight and day.

I agree with everyone else’s responses — waiting until this weekend would likely be fine unless you notice your rabbit stops eating or there are other emergency signs beyond the scabs themselves.

I’m so very sorry for your loss. I had to make the hard decision to euthanize Mr. Bunny yesterday as he was sick for a while and nothing was working. On Friday he developed a head tilt and by Sunday he was paralyzed from E. Cuniculi.

I took him to the vet yesterday morning and they took new x-rays and she still didn’t see anything really concerning.

Well done, cutting her nails all by yourself! Don’t be to hard on yourself, I’m sure she’s perfectly fine.

Haha! Yeah, they were probably able to get cheap rent because the mall was trying to fill empty space. I wouldn’t take that as a red flag, necessarily. More important is their operation and how they care for the bunnies.

Bunnies do go through an adolescence phase. It would be more pronounced if she was unspayed, but even spayed/neutered bunnies will try to test boundaries when they are young and energetic. The changing light can also cause them to produce sex hormones through their adrenal glands, which leads to what we call “March Madness”. It makes bunnies go…[Read more]
