Please note I made slight revisions to your topic. As a reminder, the topic of intentional breeding is prohibited on these forums.

I’m sorry to hear about what’s going on with one of your baby rabbits. Since our forums do not permit discussion of intentional breeding, the experience of our members (including myself) is quite limited. We will…[Read more]

The ingredients for the novomectin say: sterile solution containing 1% ivermectin, 40% glycerol formal, and propylene glycol q.s. ad 100%.

I believe that both of those other ingredients are fairly inert at the amounts that you would be giving, but the safest bet is to ring your vet and make sure they gave you the right medicine (because mistakes…[Read more]

Giving wet greens during breaks should be enough, especially if he is good about drinking once you get to your destination.

How long is your total travel time?

All he wants to do right now is lay on his tummy with legs stretched out.  He obviously feels terrible. I haven’t tried giving him critical care yet, I will, but he’s not really willing to swallow what I put in his mouth. So this really hard. He did swallow the pain meds but not so much the simithicone.

ugh. I’m so worried. I though this would…[Read more]

I know that ivermectin has oral (the paste) and injection (suspension) options but I didn’t think you could give the injectable one orally y’know? I thought there was a difference between the two and it seemed really weird to me. Seems like the equivalent of just swallowing insulin rather than injecting it which wouldn’t be effective. I’m a littl…[Read more]

i can’t believe it’s already may 😀 louie’s gotcha day is coming up on the 10th… has it really been a year already??

Not sure where you are HipHop, but in CA we used to see hooded orioles in the bottle brush trees with the humming birds. I think all orioles are nectar feeders? They are so pretty!

Aww poor guys. The recommendation about not cleaning is for at home, but I am guessing things are a little different when the vet does it.

So, I did a little reading on it and it looks like ivermectin is often given either orally or as an injectable for ear mites. Medirabbit (a trusted source) has more info and dosages, if you’d like to compare:…[Read more]

I view fruit as special treat as well, so I tend to feed it very rarely. I kind of think of it the same as a bowl of ice cream for a human, so daily is probably too much, but it also depends on the amount. A bite of apple every day would be fine for most buns, but a large slice would be too much.

Rabbits don’t need fruit ever, so your vet is…[Read more]

Unfortunately, we cannot replace a vet, and if veterinarians in your area are unwilling to treat it due to it being a wild rabbit, there is not much that can be done aside from what you may perceive to be the necessary first aid. Are there any rehabilitation centers you’re willing to go to that may be more flexible with their procedures?

Also,…[Read more]

Just updating this thread in case anyone is searching for something similar. I ended up getting him a heavy small stone hot pot (the kind they use for bibimbap in Korean cuisine). It is NOT porous, it is polished and smooth ceramic inside, dishwasher safe and heavier than any ceramic bowls I looked at as it needs to be able to handle the heat…[Read more]

I think my landlord would actually kick me out if I adopted 3! She barely tolerates the thought of 2. Lol.

I’ve found that adopting or fostering helps me grieve easier knowing I am giving an animal a safe place to be whether permanently or while in transition.

Plovers are such gorgeous birds! <3

Things over here have been going well. 🙂 It’s so nice to see flowers and trees in bloom, with bees pollinating.

I’ve also been getting some Hummingbirds visiting my feeder. However, they are not the only ones who are making use of the food supply… Lately, there have been visits from some big yellow birds…[Read more]

Dorian’s definitely a sneaky bun. 🥰 The innocent bewilderment on his face is priceless!

And, Frenora! They look so happy and cozy. 🙂 It warms my heart every time when I think of how far he’s come.

Oh, the horrors of nail-clipping! 😆 They look so cute together.

Cookie!! She sure is a mischievous one. 😉 I love the small dot on her nose.…[Read more]
