We saw an opthamologist for her cataract after our regular vet, he mentioned EC but didn’t think it looked like an EC cataract, which of course doesn’t mean it definitely isn’t one. He said that one eye was unusual as well (age related are usually both eyes or shower onset) but in terms of overall eye health otherwise there was nothing to be…[Read more]

I didn’t mean that I would bring her in for days at a time, just for a couple hours every few days. I’m not sure if that’s unhealthy.

I am simply not allowed to have her in the house overnight, nor am I allowed to let her free roam at any time. It’s not my house so that isn’t anything I can change. I do plan on getting her vaccinated in the next…[Read more]

Haha, i love it 😍😍 I lost myself while reading, thanks 😂😂

Update

Shadow had a tooth extracted and some trimming on Saturday morning. The vet said his tooth was loose and they had to extract it. Since then he is feeling a lot better. He no longer dry heaves or drools. I’m glad they figured out what was wrong with him. They also took out the mass on his cheek. I chose not to send it out to the lab since…[Read more]

Hi Azerane! The sudden cataract in one eye is suspicious. Have you considered EC? Weight loss is a symptom, it just isn’t something normally think about. Drastic weight loss can be caused by other things, of course. Since there is no loss in appetite, you think of more sinister things like cancer.

Yes, that squealing tip is very good! There are more tips about rabbit body language on this site: http://language.rabbitspeak.com On that site they advice to do the same an offended rabbit would do: squeal, turn your back to him a little and look over your shoulder. That says: I’m upset, but you can still make it up! Present your hand for licks…[Read more]

Oh, and there’s even more! Sorry that I got carried away a bit, I normally would have edited my first post to add these. Bas and I are both Geminis, and Breintje is a Leo.

Hehe, Breintje’s one seems to be spot-on:

“Like their sign, the lion (a fire sign ruled by the sun), Leo pets are confident, fearless and a bit vain. They love to be pampered and spoiled and are always vying for the spotlight. Quite popular among other animals and people, Leo pets are actually fiercely loyal to their owners. Pet astrology warns…[Read more]

Keep in mind that you can’t move her back and forth between outside and inside if the temperature difference is more than 10 degrees Celsius (17 F), otherwise she will be at risk of respiratory illness. Also, her coat won’t develop properly for either environment if the difference is too great. Also, RHD is spreading rapidly across the US,…[Read more]

Hello!  I’m sorry it took so long to get a reply — I’m not sure if you’ll still see this but I’ll give it a shot!

It could be a few things: hormones as she’s right around the end of babyhood?  Babies are way braver and more cuddly, on average.  Our Teddy came home at 3 months old as a cuddly little baby and like 3 days later became a sullen te…[Read more]

Thank you for the advice. You seem to be so far correct in saying that he will be just fine. I will continue to monitor him.

LBJ makes a good point: rabbits have amazing tolerance. Our bun needed medication, and he had to get the same dosage as a dog 10 times his size!  😯

It looks like you did everything you could do. How is he doing now?

That’s so sad, I’m sorry for your loss. It’s indeed important that her group members had the chance to say goodbye, and maybe it’s some comfort that she didn’t die alone or in a strange place.

Popcorn free, little Josie!

Hydrangeas contain a type of cyanogenic glycoside. This is a toxin that is produced by plants as a defense mechanism. It would make a dog or cat sick if they ate it. However, rabbits are a little bit different in that they can tolerate a higher level of toxins produced by plants because they are adapted to eat a variety of plants. Could a rabbit…[Read more]

That can be a bit of a shock when your bun is overweight, because they’re so fluffy it’s difficult to notice. I was so embarrassed when the vet told me he needed to lose 20% of his bodyweight to be healthy again 😯 Our bun got fat after his neuter because his energy levels dropped a bit. The vet told us that rabbits have a metabolism that’s…[Read more]

Sorry for your loss 🙁  She sounds so unique and beautiful. My piggy Chico passed away probably 8 years ago now and I still think about her often (especially when I open the veggie crisper drawer).

Rest in peace little piggy. <3
