I didn’t see that he was opening his mouth in the video, but maybe I missed it. His breathing looked ok to me, pretty normal after some excitement running around. My understanding is that a bun having trouble breathing will kind of sit up and not lay down like that. His nose also didn’t really look wet to me in the vid, but could have just been…[Read more]

Unfortunately, there is a high likelihood that this is cancer (the other possibility is an infection). We are not vets and we have no way of knowing what the outcome will be. But, as Dana said, there are a lot of bunnies that have emergency spays because of uterine cancer. As long as the cancer is still contained within the uterus, spaying will…[Read more]

haha! sounds like $8 was a bargain!

It sounds like it very well could be reproductive cancer. We can’t know for sure how things will go, but I know of several rabbits who underwent emergency spays for cancer (6 and 7 year old rabbits that came into the shelter) that recovered really well. If the vet can remove all of the cancerous tissue odds are good. The fact that she’s still…[Read more]

Ok – I went ahead and swapped them.  He has been exploring and running around like crazy! After he took a break his breathing may be concerning? Didn’t stop him from getting up and running again after a couple minutes but after the video it looked like he was opening his mouth to breath a little too. Does this look…[Read more]

I think it’s very hard to manage contact that it wouldn’t happen, so I don’t think you’d have to worry or be anxious about contamination. You should mention having another rabbit so your vet can advise on treatment.

Thank you. I’ll keep close attention to his breathing. As of now I don’t hear any sound.

I just brought him home Saturday and he has been separated from my other rabbit with double xpens. I was going to start swapping them for pre-bonding and so the new guy can get a little more exercise, do you think they’ve been close enough to be exposed…[Read more]

What a wonderful tribute. Reese truly had a loving, caring owner supporting her on her journey to the rainbow bridge. How supported and loved she must have felt as she made that journey. Binky free Reese.

As you mention, death is often unexpected and never pleasant to witness, and yet I hope you find comfort in knowing that Reese had what sounds…[Read more]

Waiting a week for a runny nose is fine– if it was a URI or something related to respiratory illness, typically symptom progression wouldn’t be so drastic and extreme to cause imminent risk within a week; that being said, keep monitoring and if breathing seems to be getting hard, that would merit attention sooner (since rabbits can only breath…[Read more]

Thank you. 😊 She loves cilantro.

It looks like New Zealand and harlequin. My friend has a harlequin that looks identical to your bunny

I would recommend getting her spayed and if you bond them she would have to be spayed. I recommend bonding them i bonded mine a little bit ago and my bunnies are so much happier.

Cilantro wont harm. If she likes cilantro she can have some, but its not one of the herbs thats traditionally given for stomach trouble.

Okay, thanks thats good to hear!

We just had my bunny spayed on Thursday. She is a Holland Lop and squirmy as can be. I can’t even touch her paws. So, when I brought her in for the spay, they did her nails too. It was only $8. The best $8 I have ever spent. LOL. When we picked her up from surgery. I asked did they get the nails trimmed. The vet laughed and told me, that’s a 2…[Read more]
