I’m so sorry JG! TimTim was loved by everyone here. He was truly special. My gosh… do I seriously remember him when he was little? Was it that long ago? It’s so hard to believe! He lived a very long and wonderful life with you!

I had a bunny with chronic sinus problems due to tooth roots protruding into the sinus cavity. They caused irritation and sneezing. He was always “stuffy”. Clear discharge, but sometimes stuff would get trapped and it would lead to a secondary URI. We would treat with antibiotics, but this never fully solved the problem.

Unfortunately, overgrown…[Read more]

Hi and thank you both for your replies.

I do not believe that a culture was done although we certainly had the conversation about tailoring antibiotics to the type. However, after the doxy, the vet did not suggest another option, because other rabbit savvy vets that were consulted (from other practices) basically chalked it up to “It’s an old…[Read more]

My rabbit has a history of chronic snuffles (whole of 2023 was horrible, we have only now got control over it with a 3rd rhinostomy). In my rabbits case it was due to chronic rhinitis secondary to rhinoliths forming in the nose. But this to my understanding is a lot more rare and uncommon. She was diagnosed via skull CT. Have you done any imaging…[Read more]

Often times a culture is needed to determine which antibiotic will work, and often a long course of medicine is needed.  Is your vet able to do a culture?

There are cases where overgrown tooth roots can cause sinus issues, but upper respiratory infections are the more common cause.

It’s good his lungs are clear and he’s generally doing well,…[Read more]

That’s great there’s a bunny vet in your town, that is important! You might inquire about becoming a new patient before you actually need to, just to get into their system.

And yes haha, many of the popular bunny youtubers make my eyes roll LOL. Although of course there are good ones too, there is a series of videos by Howcast on rabbit care that…[Read more]

Yeah… Youtube- or the channels I have viewed have been very- ”do this or you are not fit for a bunny”, ”your bunny hates this” or ”You need this item for your bunny to be happy.”… so it’s- definitely a bit stressful at times so I try to take it with a grain of salt…

I am definitely looking to get her spayed- just in case and for her…[Read more]

Oh no, this is so sad. 🙁  I’m so so sorry, and I agree with others there must have been something really wrong. And of course you don’t need to delete your account or make any decisions at all about the future.

Looks normal to me! My buns poop color will vary between batches of hay. When the hay is more grassy and soft (like orchard grass) their poops will be darker. More crunchy dry stalks lead to lighter colored poops.

Hmmm, I don’t really have anything to add, but wondering if her poops tend to look good (uniform size and round shape?) in between stasis episodes?

I’m so sorry Susanne, was this Snoopy? You worked so hard with his bond 🙁

I agree with the others that it sounds like a bad coincidence. My understanding about most of those poisons is that once they are dry there is very little risk of things transferring (I had my house sprayed for ants last year and was worried as well), so I doubt you…[Read more]

I’m glad you feel better! Youtube can definitely be an overwhelming source of information! There are lots of opinions about the only “right” way to keep rabbits, when the reality is they are just opinions and every rabbit (and every human owner) is different.

If you have any specific questions that pop up, the Rabbit Info section on this site is…[Read more]

Thank you! I really truly appreciate it- just even a little reassurance is really nice. I’ve never had a bunny, nor an inside bunny! So now that it’s been a few days and things have calmed more down, I’ve of course gotten a bit more comfortable…

I’ve always been known as ‘the cat guy’, and the guy who’d end up being a crazy ‘cat grandpa’? so a…[Read more]

I thank you so much for your advice! I had to kinda sleep on it and relax a bit. I had a hectic weekend on the day of getting her and it took a lot of communicating with my housemate to calm myself down a bit. With my Autism, I am a very routine person, so it probably also freaked me out that I had a new responsibility to work into my routine, As…[Read more]

Thank you all for the kind words

🙏🏻❤️

she did a course of prednisone for approx 6 weeks but most of that was weaning off. i am in southern california and got 2 second opinions before starting her on the prednisone. there is so much scary literature about it so when it was originally suggested i panicked. but every exotic i took her to suggested it since she wasnt responding to nsaids.…[Read more]

That sounds like a good plan!

Thank you for looking at it.
He’s our only bun at the moment.
We’ve since found some sharp bits on his x-pen, the door isn’t great and a couple of the tie wraps were cut short. I can only think he has caught himself when he’s been zooming around. We have since put black tape over so it’s not sharp anymore.
We’ll keep a close eye on him and hopeful…[Read more]
