My bunny chirps if he’s having a treat he really likes. It’s a very high pitched very quiet sound that sounds like a bird chirping. My girl makes various noises all the time especially when she’s feeling bossy. Rabbits make noises more than people expect but most of them are really quiet so you don’t always realize they’re doing it.

I called different vet offices around the place, and all of them only have them for dogs and cats:( I’m going to try to call the rabbit vet again tomorrow morning and ask. I’m just worried because it’ll wear off tomorrow morning and she might stop eating if she’s in pain 🙁 Thank you though!

Thanks Dana! I have been plucking him a lot and combing him every other day as he hates it, so I am probably more hands on as well. I’ll just keep an eye on the scale and his behavior.

I must apologize that I left one of my posts open so that it would appear that our vet was negligent.  I will need to update it.  I did reply in the same post to another participant about what I heard from our vet and it gives me peace.  Our vet advised that the Level’s I saw in the receipts are not equal to levels of sedation.  Although he did…[Read more]

And yes that 45 degree ear angle is tricky! That usually means the bun is kind of on the fence, and could go either way!

You’re welcome! Sounds like you have a good plan!

The car-ride session sounds really positive! I think with your two I would work really hard to end things while they are going well. So doing a bit shorter sessions may be the way to go. 🙂

Usually they should have pain meds for at least 3 days, so I would call around and see if they can get you some from another vet’s office. As far as I know it’s prescription-only (at least in the USA), so I don’t think you’d be able to find it at a pet store?

I tend to notice this on Bun Jovi while he’s going through a molt as well. I always start worrying that he’s dropped weight, but then when the molt is over he is back to normal (both in appearance and how his hips feel). I think the loss of the undercoat can really make things feel and look sharper.

I think I would just keep weighing him every…[Read more]

I’ve just read Bonny’s story. I’m so sorry that she passed due to a possible medical malpractice. My Tootoo as I mentioned in my post also required frequent molar spur filing in her last years. Luckily she didn’t require any kind of sedation; the vet was able to just snap the Spurs directly. I would have been so worried if she had ever needed…[Read more]

How is your bun doing now?

Lowpile is fine, but it’s still important to check the bun’s feet regularly, of course. (That’s important regardless of flooring).

The ones I found were low pile. Would that be okay?

This is so, so helpful!  Thank you so  much! I am going to consider your ideas for the next few days, always good to keep at it and try new things. Yesterday they had a marathon. I took them to the rescue about 1 hour away and they did fine in the car ride, at the rescue, and on the way back home. My boy even licked my girl twice during the r…[Read more]

There are some plants that are listed as being toxic to animals that rabbits can nibble on and appear to have no ill effects. There have been bunnies on the forum that have chewed on “toxic” house plants and seemed fine afterward. As Bam said, acute toxicity would manifest in a matter of hours. So if enough time has passed and he hasn’t shown any…[Read more]
