Ok, I will see if my local vet is free on Monday.

I tried to clean it with saline and it’s gotten considerably better. The lump is not as big now.

I can’t say if this is an emergency -we are not vets here and can’t give veterinary advice.

If the lump suddenly grows considerably, or if the irritated area suddenly becomes  (an abscess can sometimes can do that), it could be an emergency (risk of bursting), or if  the irritated area suddenly extends in area and becomes wet, but otherwise I t…[Read more]

Update. Luna is falling apart in clumps, Apollo is slowly dissolving. On the plus side he is softer than a cloud right now because his guard hairs have shed leaving the super soft undercoat exposed.

Definitely the worst shed I’ve ever seen from either of them.  What that means for the weather, I don’t know.

Ok, if it gets any bigger i will call emergency

Update. My boys have been doing really long bonding sessions in the second neutral pen at my moms for two days now. 8 hours one day and 9 the other. No tiffs. Today there was some grooming, eating together, playing with a toy together and litterbox together,  but mostly relaxing today in hide boxes. Sometimes separate and sometimes squeezed…[Read more]

Aww! I love it! I tried a pet tent for my bunny and all he did was rip it up.

I agree with Bam. It sounds more like marking than not being litter trained. If she was consistently using the box before, there’s a good chance she will resume after she is spayed.

Is he awake or sleeping? Bunnies twitch in their sleep… and it’s really freaky looking when they are doing it while asleep with their eyes open.

I think that’s a bit long to wait if it is getting bigger. It’s hard to tell from the photo. It could be an abscess or other infection. You don’t want to risk permanent damage.

I’m so sorry Bam, sounds like you’re in a really tough spot in your area:( It is also hard to get into regular rabbit vets here for emergencies during regular hours, by the time I would call around to the ones within a 30 minute drive I might as well just go to the 1.5 hour away ER where I know they are the best. But at least I have that. The…[Read more]

I can relate! I have 4 now, one is about done molting, 2 are about halfway through and one is just starting.. yay to constant vacuuming and trying to pluck out as much as I can!

Yes, I agree. Where I live there’s no longer any ER rabbit vets. There was one until last November, when she wasn’t on duty, the other vets could consult with her for a fee. Now that possibility is gone. My rabbit vet recommends a certain generosity with meloxicam prescriptions for long time  patients and owners (This vet runs a daytime-only…[Read more]

Thank you! Yes I will ask my vet. I’ve been to several in my area so I have a couple I can call. Some seem more willing to give that type of advice than others, sometimes it seems they are more picky about that stuff and giving out meds for emergencies than human doctors. It’s all so weird and frustrating! Having a solution for people without a…[Read more]
