I’m sorry this happened to you and your bun. You undoubtedly saved him by taking him to the ER vet.
This could have started as a gut slowdown, causing a “hairball” to form and block up the intestine. Rabbits are normally capable of passing hair, they always get some hair in them when they groom themselves. If the gut slows down though, hair and…[Read more]

Hi all, I was hoping to get some opinions on what could have caused the downward spiral Elmer went down yesterday/today.
First for background, I noticed Saturday night he refused his treat which has never happened. He seemed to start being normal and I thought he ate it a little later (in retrospect could have been Ruby). He was eating hay and…[Read more]

And right after I posted this Tipper groomed Sweetie for almost a minute.
It’s hilarious because he tries to play it off like he’s grooming himself and then licks her head between his paws. He also used her head as a foot rest so he could clean his foot 😂 but she didn’t seem to mind.
They both just seem so stubborn and I do feel that Sweet…[Read more]

And – after they fought I took them in a walk around the house in their dreaded laundry basket and took them back to the “neutral area.” Tipper eventually gave Sweetie a couple of licks on the nose.
unfortunately, I’m so on edge from them getting into fights that I started to make a noise when he put his head over hers to kiss her and maybe inter…[Read more]

Hi again – so after the encouraging long date on Saturday, Sunday and today the bunnies got into a fight (once each night) – I caught it quickly but I don’t understand what is going on with the backwards slide 😕
They actually seem more relaxed around each other now; Tipper is less nippy and seems more content to lay down / eat/ run around S…[Read more]

Thank you DanaNM. I’ll definitely revisit this again with the vet. Hope all is well in your world.

BZOO you are practically Dr. Doolittle! 😀
Not many people would respond happily if a rat ran up their leg in a park, lol! (But if it was obviously domestic I may have done the same, I know they are wonderful pets!)

Poor baby 🙁
I agree with Wick that this could be dental, especially given the timing with the tooth filing. There could also be something like an abscess that formed around the tooth that’s pressing on sinuses and causing issues.

Hi Wick & Fable!
Thank you very much for the reply and insight. I learned about the culture searching the site for answers a few weeks ago. In sharing it with the vet she felt the tests are often inconclusive and didn’t recommend it strangely. We tried switching her to azithromycin and she went into stasis immediately. (She clearly didn’t like…[Read more]

Is a culture and sensitivity test an option? Outside of this, you can also take an x-ray to see if perhaps something else is causing the discharge instead of a URI (for example, sometimes it can actually be dental-related, due to teeth roots).
I would do a warm, damp towel to soften it up and see if you can gently remove it. If your rabbit will…[Read more]

Hi all. My 8 year old female rabbit has been struggling with a upper respiratory infection aka snuffles for a couple of months. She has this intense discharge that is almost like glue when it dries. It’s all over her face. Poor girl.
Does anyone know how to safely remove this dried discharge?
(She has been treated with oflaxacin and e…[Read more]

My sister found a rabbit in the park. She warmed up pretty quickly. Lots of love goes a long way. Good luck and have fun!
On a similar note, I once found a pregnant rat in the park. She practically ran up my leg…. please take me home!! Of course I did, she was very sweet.

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Hay in the forum THE LOUNGE 4 years, 11 months ago
No experience with that vendor specifically, but I order hay either through Binkybunny (right here! Click the “Store” tab at the top of the page) or have it shipped to me regularly through Small Pet Select: smallpetselect.com … often, you can get hay cheaper through local farm stores and potentially through a local rabbit rescue.
