I am so very sorry to read this.
It’s horrible that it’s often so very difficult to get vet care for our rabbits on weekends/holidays.
You didn’t cause this of course. You loved her so much.
Binky free, sweet Blossom 💔

This is hard to write/type. Blossom is now gone. She stopped eating and drinking altogether and just kept deteriorating throughout the day. We couldn’t find an emergency vet for her. I feel like I caused all of this. Blossom I’m so sorry, binky free my sweet yet sassy lady.

Hey! Thanks for sharing my post. The more I look at Louie the more I realize how mild his head tilt is. If you had never seen him before you might not even notice it. I’m starting to think maybe his slight tilt is just an effort to deal with the asymmetrical facial paralysis, like he can tell something is off on that side. (He can even jump on and…[Read more]

What is EC? I was thinking about doing a test run of meloxicam and an antibiotic, maybe before the CT since it costs over a thousand to have done.

The pulled up face does point to facial nerve (cranial nerverve no 7) involvement. 7 months seem a long time though and your vet seems confident it isnt related to the surgery. Sometimes scar formation can cause more trouble than an original injury -if there ever was injury to the facial nerve.
I think I’d look into ec first of all, since it’s a…[Read more]

It’s good that she isn’t feeling cold -as long as she doesnt have a fever of course.
Has she eaten anything at all? Have you seen any poop?
If she isn’t spayed, its reasonable to think the blood is from her uterus. Rabbits can also get blood in the urine due to stones in the urinary tract (uroliths). A bad UTI can of course also cause blood in…[Read more]

She won’t let me touch her belly but her ears felt warm and I just tried that and all the spots foamed and I’m not sure where it’s coming from, I’m thinking it might be from her uterus or bladder. No new poops and we called around but the only emergency vets close to us only takes dogs and cats.

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Bunny wheezing? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 1 year, 3 months ago
Rabbit “allergies” are not common relative to an upper respiratory infection explanation. A rabbit being “allergic” to hay/dust/etc. is the explanation given when all other more likely diagnoses are ruled out. It’s possible your rabbit’s symptoms were simply not very intense when assessed by the vet (the difference between the first day of a cold…[Read more]

I shared your post w/ some others to poke some other brains. Some things to consider:
- While there is no traditional “ear”, there are can still other infections and injuries in that general vicinity which can lead to a rabbit tilting their head due to poor sense of balance, discomfort, compensation, etc.
- There is apparently a nerve on the side…

Hey guys! I just wanted to know if this behavior is okay/normal, or if there’s anything I can do to help out my bun. Lately, I’ve been noticing that my bunny (11 week old holland lop) tends to have sneezing fits. It first started out with a couple of sneezes, but now she will occasionally break out into these sneezing fits where she’ll sneeze…[Read more]

Still so young! But that’s good, because a younger bun is stronger.
Bonded buns do miss each other when one is sick. The only thing we can do is to try and keep the bun at home company, maybe distract with a few extra treats?

How does her belly feel? Are the insides of her ears cold?
If her belly seems distended/hard, its not advisable to try and syringe feed her, because it could be a blockage.
If the insides of her ears feel vold, you should try to warm her. You can use a warm water bottle or a microwaved sock filled with rice (heat it with a glas of water to…[Read more]

Sorry to make so many posts lately but Blossom needs healing vibes and prayers. Today I found blood in her enclosure and she’s barely eating, it took her literal hours to eat all her pellets and she’s not really touching her hay much and she’s doing more sleeping than normal today. She has a vet appointment on Monday, that’s the closest day that…[Read more]
