It’s not uncommon for there to be disproportionate grooming in a bonded pair. I’ve read about (and also currently have) pairs where essentially only one rabbit grooms the other, and that’s how the hierarchy was established.

I personally would say move forward, and if you see signs it’s not going well, remember you can always go back! It’s hard…[Read more]

Would you be able to provide a picture? Is there watering or swelling that occurs?

“Early signs of teeth disease” is vague — can you provide details? You didn’t mention x-rays being done, and when I think of teeth things impacting eye-things, I think of overgrown teeth roots that grow back further into the gum and irritate the back side of the…[Read more]

Yes, we will keep it up! Thank you!!! So glad he is doing great!!

It isnt stasis since things are moving through. It sounds more like a lingering bout of cecal dysbiosis. You could try probiotics, it wont harm.

Rabbits who have not yet reached the hormonal, puberty stages of growth often get along with other rabbits easily. It is likely this, rather than them being related that allowed them to get along. Rabbits do not acknowledge family units like we do — they will fight and mate with siblings and parents all the same, so the progression you are…[Read more]

Oh my goodness this is heartbreaking to hear. I’m so incredibly sorry! I know this doesn’t take away any pain, but I hope you find even the smallest bit of comfort knowing you you did everything in your power to help your bun. Sending love and healing vibes your way ♥️

I can’t speak to megacolon in bunnies (though it’s my understanding even albino buns can have megacolon). I always thought megacolon presented as large poops as well as intermittent diarrhea, so I’m interested to hear what some of the more knowledgeable members have to say.

As the owner of a bun with a sensitive tummy, simethicone can be given…[Read more]

Ohmigod, I am so sorry for your loss. Sending lots of love and hugs to you during this hard time. Stay strong ♥ 

She also has a poopy booty but it’s not so much that I have to keep cleaning it for her, and her cecotropes are liquid…

My bun went to the vet not so long ago and they also took a fecal test. She’s had lots of bubbles in her tummy area and some mishappen poops. A lot are normal, but then they’ll be some liquidy, oval shaped poops. She’s active and eating and drinking fine, though. This isn’t stasis… is it?

:0 thanks for letting me know

That contains oregano and rosemary oils. I don’t think it’s a good idea to use it.

Oh and he is a white albino so suspecting megacolon was not too obvious for me in the beginning.

I am trying that but it tells me that I am not allowed to add photos to this post.

I also think that he is suffering from megacolon disease. I have no help from the vet in explaining anything about his condition.

He had extremely soft poop today and it is very worrying. The weight loss is happening prior to the deworming. I don’t want to stress…[Read more]

Rex bunnies can be prone to sore hocks no matter what you do. They just don’t have that cushion of fur there. If they aren’t bleeding, then you could try to soften the area with some bag balm or plain diaper rash cream. A lot of people have had luck with providing memory foam bathmats to walk on. I’m not sure if wrapping them at this point is…[Read more]

Happy to hear he is improving. From my experience, Azithromycin takes a bit longer to kick in so I’m glad you stuck with it. Keep it up! You want to make sure the infection is gone for sure.

Did you use the Add Media button to add photos?

It can cause loss of appetite and diarrhea in dogs… not sure about rabbits. There is no information on Medirabbit’s website. It is only listed as “safe” to use.

The lethargy and weight loss are concerning. However, it sounds like the weight loss was occurring before the Pyrantel. Also, the…[Read more]

A fecal test was done and it was negative for nay parasite. He still asked me to give him the dewormer.

Everything was turning out to be just fine yesterday and today he had that liquid poop and so so much of it. I don’t know what to do and who to go to.

He has a poopy butt and is not interested in moving, I can feel gas bubbles in his abdominal…[Read more]
