Thank you so much!

This is really helpful! Cardboard is the majority of Harry’s toys that he does play with, so I am encouraged by your approval of that!

I have bought him chew toys, like grass mats, apple sticks, boredom balls with treats inside, bamboo bowls, etc. He’s only interested in them for a day. But cardboard hidey houses and small…[Read more]

No, I don’t have any critical care on hand, but I’ll check that link out. I’m not sure they feed the horses pellets here, mostly just alfalfa and orchard grass, but I can still ask. About her having reproductive cancer… I – I don’t know what to do. Getting her spayed is not an option. The risks outweigh the benefits if I’m just going to bring…[Read more]

I took her to the vet, she got some injection with medication. They sent me home with critical care, drops for gas..

She didn’t eat all night not even drank. But it’s weird because she lays down normally, hops around a little. She is not in hunched posture.

She pooped only this morning, nothing all night.

I don’t understand what’s wrong with…[Read more]

You should keep them separate for now. It sounds like your bunny is feeling territorial toward the puppy. Any plans on getting Raf neutered?

Baytril is a common, go-to antibiotic because it’s readily available and broad-spectrum. It seems more and more bacteria are becoming resistant to it though. So if it’s been 3 weeks and there has been no improvement, then I would talk to the vet about switching to a different antibiotic. It is recommended that a course lasts for at least 2…[Read more]

Good news — here is one example of Critical Care on eBay that will ship to Saudi Arabia: https://www.ebay.com/itm/265222561117

With this and pellets being available on eBay or, as DanaNM points out, timothy pellets for horses possibly being available locally, it does sound like it’s better to do that than to use oats.  I’ve been told that…[Read more]

So glad to hear he is doing better! Yes, simethicone always seems to do the trick for me as well. I’m glad the pain he was in was “just gas”. That is relatively easy to manage in most cases.

The vet did check for ear infection, but didn’t discuss E cuniculi. My assumption when I took him in was an ear infection or possibly cheat grass had gotten into his ear, but the ears were clear. His hay consumption has always been fairly low, we’re always buying new hay types to try to get him to eat it. I have been offering him small handfuls of…[Read more]

Ah, I understand! Do you have critical care? I’m guessing no?

I know they sell straight timothy pellets for horses, so perhaps those might be easier to find?

In my mind, the weight dropping is a more of chronic problem, and it would be important to rule out a medical cause for the weight loss before just adding in new high-calorie foods that may…[Read more]

Did the vet check for an ear infection or discuss the possibility of E cuniculi? The symptoms with his ear sound like there is probably something else going on that triggered the stasis.

Since he is recovering, for now it’s OK to keep offering lots of greens and basically whatever he’ll eat (aside from fruits!) just to make sure his gut keeps…[Read more]

Well today she hasn’t ran around as much i thought because its hot outside but when shes sitting or laying down it looks like shes swaying and when i hold her i can hear the weezing

Hay, I’m wondering that, too. I can’t get hold of pellets at the moment and she’s losing weight. I just need something that will help her keep on weight until her pellets arrive. I have porridge oats but not rolled oats, and I’m wondering if they’re okay?

I’m still not sure what the liquid was. If it was liquid cecotropes do you think she…[Read more]

I agree with Bam in that you definitely need to separate any unneutered/unspayed rabbit (even if they are both the same sex they will fight). It will actually do more good than harm to spay and neuter. It decreases them being too territorial (wanting to fight more) and in females it will prevent uterine cancer. They can also be more aggressive…[Read more]

@DanaNM, no doubt that pellets would be preferable, but I was asking about oats because she’s said she’s unable to get her hands on pellets there in Saudi Arabia and is currently planning to wait for a family friend to bring them from overseas (we don’t know when)?  So would oats be worth introducing in the meantime, is my question.  🙂
