Poor little guy. And yes to treats! I always reserve the extra special “high value” treats (like tiny pieces of dried strawberries or cranberries) for after particularly hated things, like nail trims or giving meds!

Okay I’ll try giving him a treat before and after.

thank yo all again for suggestions, information, and get wells

They can really be very difficult!

Putting up a fight is considered a good sign though, a bun that just sits there and takes his meds is a bit of an observandum (unless the bun is a particularly sweet bun or chronically ill. Chronically ill buns eventually learn to take meds and can be quite cooperative after a while).

Poor little guy! Maybe you…[Read more]

I felt so bad 😞

my bunny has hissed at me, growled, lunged at me and bit me the evening that I got him home and had to do a 2nd round of drops. He also got mad at me Sunday. Yesterday was a struggle but today not so bad.
After I give him the drops I give him a treat so that way he will hopefully remember that after he gets his drops he gets a…[Read more]

I do not blame you for being scared! Your bunny isn’t well and you feel completely helpless. But you are doing what is best and that is keeping her at the vet until she is doing better. I’m glad they decided to begin EC treatment. The stress can absolutely cause an EC flare.

It’s great that they listened to you regarding EC and that they are starting treatment!

Also great that kidneys and liver are fine!

I agree it’s best for her to stay at the vets now. We want them home with us of course, but it’s scary and exhausting to sit and watch over a poorly rabbit.

As you know, EC meds often take a while before they kick…[Read more]

Good news it that her blood test show that her liver & kidneys are good. They said her white blood cells are a bit elevated and agree that EC is a possibility so she is starting her treatment for that today along with antibiotics – just to be on the safe side. Most likely gonna be staying at the vets for a while yet, but honestly as much as I want…[Read more]

Thank goodness he wasn’t hurt! Your vet seems understanding though, that is great.

It’s not fun at all to have to medicate a bun. His ear is probably tender and painful now which makes him hate the drops extra. Hopefully the antibiotics will kick in quickly so the drops don’t hurt so much when you apply them.

Oh my goodness! Poor little guy, that is very lucky he wasn’t injured in that fall!

Wishing him an uneventful recovery!

I immediately thought EC too, I hope they are willing to consider that and start treatment asap. EC is opportunistic, and flare-ups often occur when/if the bun is stressed by something else. EC is probably the most common cause of seizures in rabbits.

Fingers so very crossed for her. It must be so scary for you.
