I’m sorry Cookie has a chest infection. Hopefully the oral antibiotics will help both the eyes and the chest.

A chest infection in a rabbit can need more than two weeks on antibiotics, but you should see improvement pretty soon. It seems you are seeing improvement. The bad breathing sounds are gone if I understand you correctly? And his eyes are…[Read more]

Wonderful news that she’s doing so well! Thank you for the update!

Update:

Thank you all for your responses! Fortunately, my bunny, even though spayed, is surprisingly recovering very well and fast. She’s right back to eating her hay and drinking her water (which is great because force feeding really stresses both of us out), and she’s active and trying to get out of her pen lol. She doesn’t seem to be showi…[Read more]

Thank you for adopting this rabbit!

It normally takes some time to bond with a rabbit. Rabbits are not like puppy dogs, rabbits are flight animals whose instincts tell them to be seriously cautious, or else they may become someone’s dinner. What you describe sounds perfectly normal, especially since she was spayed quite recently. (A spay throws…[Read more]

Hi Mp and the beautiful people!

So I’m really slow unfortunately, but there’s small progress. They look like they really like to be near each other when there’s a fence. Dorian already made 2 windows in that fence, the big guy has a strong jaw. The strange thing is that Pi sometimes really sticks his face where Dorian bites the fence, as if on…[Read more]

Hay eating generally increases water consumption. How long has it been since she drank? I honestly probably only notice my bunnies drink once or twice a day (but then I’ll notice the bowl go down a lot overnight, prob since they eat the most hay then).

I agree with Bam, if she’s pooping normally (and peeing) if does mean she’s getting fluids, and…[Read more]

they are so cute! If they can come in and get cooler and you don’t let them out at all in the midday I think they should be fine. Maybe put an frozen water bottle or cool tile out there with them and see if they use it? Oh and sure you are already, but make sure they have plenty of water. I wonder if the infection is partially making them like the…[Read more]

Aww thank you 🙂  Happy to help! <3

I tend to think of bunnies, especially young ones, as a lot like puppies!

They need exercise and stimulation for sure, but also to be in a safe secure area when unsupervised (and the exercise area should be bunny proofed).

To answer your questions:

1. Is it bad not to allow him to free roam the house for his own safety?

There are varying…[Read more]

Oh boy, I’m sorry this happened. Don’t blame yourself, these things can happen very quickly, bunnies are sneaky. 😉  Thank you for saving her, she’s lucky that you took her in!

What is the temperature like where you’re keeping her? Is she still staying in the garage? If she is, could there be fumes from cars or anything like that that she might…[Read more]

I agree with others, so very lame of the vet!

That said, don’t panic. Keep your bun calm and as comfortable as possible, and make sure she’s eating. If she doesn’t eat on her own, syringe feed her.

We have had members who’s vets didn’t give them pain meds at all (!) and the buns were all OK. It is so horrible to think of our bunnies in pain for…[Read more]
