Hexagonal chicken wire is very thin, like 20 gauge. Even if it is PVC coated, I would worry about a bunny (or other animal) chewing through it. Plus PVC coating tends to be very yummy for some reason.

Honestly, you are the only member who has posted about such an experience. At least the only one I’m aware of, I did not do a forum search. Googling yields very few results. Most animal cases seem to be cats or dogs. When it comes to people though, I know that removing a rhinolith tends to solve the issue and they don’t often grow back. So yes,…[Read more]

Syphilis symptoms can manifest at any time. It isn’t unusual for a bunny to have been infected by their mother and then not show any outward signs until years later.

I agree that the bump would be concerning if it doesn’t go away or it gets bigger/worse. It is hard to tell from the picture, so it could very well be an abrasion. Or it could be…[Read more]

Thank you so much!!

The rabbits arrived yesterday and after taking your advice there’s been no problems yet. The other rabbits can definitely tell that others have been here, but they don’t seem uncomfortable with that. My rabbits are oblivious as well.

Thank you for your reply. It has grown a little bit in width I feel but he has been scratching and his nails are on the sharp side so that definitely could have contributed. It looks like it’s a bit inflamed but there is scabbing now so his scratching could’ve annoyed it. I have time off at the start of April so I will probably re take him back to…[Read more]

It is hard to say what may have caused it, but I would continue to monitor, do your best to keep it generally clean, and if it does grow, spread, show signs of infection, etc., it would then merit another vet visit. It is very possible it was simply an environmental abrasion that didn’t heal properly, and yes, there are options for fur-related…[Read more]

Pyometra is uncommon in rabbits, rabbits tend to get other uterine problems. The most common are thickening of the uterine wall and uterine cancer. It is probably due to high levels of estrogen. I can’t remember that we’ve had a case of fullblown pyometra here. Spayed buns of course can’t get pyometra.

Pyometra means there’s bacteria in the…[Read more]

She’s had about 5 CT scans and they are as just at a loss as to why they keep coming back as we are.

her recent CT showed 7-8 stones and 7 were removed. They did a much larger site this time to make flushing easier, so I’m hoping that will go in her favour. But yeah they can’t give me a reason for why this keeps happening either. Apparently while…[Read more]

This is just normal hexagon wire as far as I know. It’s made for chickens cats dogs and rabbits. it’s not thick like a dog cage or rabbit wire from what I understand.

What gauge are we talking here? Many people make condos out of NIC grid panels, which is fairly think.

This is such a rare thing, it’s difficult to to find any literature on it. One thing that I did find is they can be associated with an ectopic tooth invading the sinus cavity. This makes you wonder if tooth roots invading the sinus cavity could cause also this. One of my bunnies had chronic problems with his sinuses due to overgrowth tooth roots.…[Read more]

I’m so sorry you lost Snuggles. You did everything you could. Sometimes they are just so sick that it’s too much.

Another update:

Just collected her from the vets after her 3rd rhinostomy. she had a repeat CT scan on Thursday which showed rhinoliths have reoccurred in her nose again, so they’ve opened her nose back up and removed them. I asked for a repeat culture just to be on the safe side, so so far no antibiotics until we hear back from that within the n…[Read more]
