Thank you for your concern over this rabbit. The plan with the vet sounds appropriate. The wobble does not jump out to me as a physical injury-looking wobble, and more a wobble I see from a rabbit just coming out of anesthesia or something, so that does make me lean more towards neurological or something offsetting balance (such as an ear…[Read more]

Yeah, I don’t think paper towels will hurt anything. I assume you put hay in the litter box? You can put a layer on top of the paper towels.

Paper towels would be fine as a temporary measure — any paper is easily going to break down in their stomach, so it should not be an issue short-term at all.

Also I wanted to add I can’t watch them to see if they eat it because it is night where I am at so even if I try to stay awake chances are I will fall asleep.

Are paper towels okay?? I don’t have newspaper and the only paper I have is colored paper so I don’t think it is a good option because of the inks

You can actually just use some paper or lay down newspaper in the meantime until you can get some more!

I’m still suggesting phone books… but I know that are pretty much non-existent now.

I’m going to guess that the vet ruled it a possible yeast/fungal infection. Trimethoprim Sulfa does have anti-fungal properties. However, I’m not sure why they wouldn’t prescribe a skin cream.

Oh I didn’t think of Ruby chewdays!! That’s awesome. We even have some here in Cincy! (Unless they all closed down).

Yes sorry forgot to mention, both are fixed. Cookie has been neutered for about 4 months, Rosie we don’t know how long as she comes from a shelter.

I think you’re probably right about waiting longer. We will try that. Cookie is a little crazy sometimes so he’s hard to predict.

We will also read the link

Thank you

Well the 3 didn’t fight, but didn’t click either so I didn’t want to go there.  All the dates went so well, not one nip or lunge! Makes things so hard. The place will swap if the bonding doesn’t go well which was a big reason I chose the place farther away.

I ended up with a small lionhead mix, another red eyed white. They kinda look alike. I…[Read more]

Are both of your rabbits spayed/neutered? If so, for how long? If not both are fixed, that is one large obstacle, as trying to bond while one rabbit is intact means you are fighting the influences of hormones, which is a battle owners can’t really win, since we can do nothing about how their biology will impact them, as well as the behavior of…[Read more]

Dollar tree as cat scratchers which makes them very affordable

You can’t 100% rule out syphilis without a blood test, ‘technically’. But it’s not like vets need to do confirmatory tests for every possibility.. that’d really increase the bill prices! But yes, highlighting what Dana mentions, syphilis on just ears is not common at all, but I wanted to mention it -just in case- since there have been weird…[Read more]

@Susanne, do you every call her “Ruby Chews-day’s”? (there’s a restaurant chain in CA called “Ruby Tuesday’s” LOL)
