I do a lot of hand plucking.

Was it pee with red blobs or streaks in it? Uniformly red pee is completely normal in rabbits. Blood in urine is usually normal looking pee with red blobs in it.

Rabbits can be asymptomatic carriers of fur mites. If they become stressed or ill, their immune system weakens somewhat and the fur mites are no longer kept in check.

The vet gave him some fluids and a feeding. She wants to switch from Buprenorphine to Gabapentin. Is this a usual medication for gas pain? She said he still has gas, but it’s not too bad. She’ll call the animal hospital on Tuesday to try to book a ct scan. The dosage for the Gabapentin is 0.3mL every 12 hours. She said to continue the tri…[Read more]

Hi people,

Thanks for the reassuring words. This is what keeps me going actually, because I see that it doesn’t work because I’m doing something wrong and not because it’s impossible. I have several more questions and a little situation that really upsets me.

1. So the towels and blankets Dana suggested are to obstruct the view, make the…
