Activity

I have done two bonding sessions so far since we chatted in here. I took them to my mom’s house in a large bathroom. First day was a few tiffs and mostly ignoring from opposite ends and sniffing noses a couple times. Ended on positive after about three hours. Came back today. No tiffs so far but def seeing some new maybe territorial behavior. O…[Read more]

According to a vet webbinar I attended in 2021, middle ear infections, past or ongoing can be seen on X-rays. The vet can see if the bullae (structures in the ear that aren’t visible from outside the ear drum) are intact or if they are destroyed by an infection. So that may be one reason why your vet wants to do head x-rays.

As Dana says, rabbit…[Read more]

I agree with the others, many vets will treat for EC as a precaution as the tests can be unreliable. Sometimes results are seen in as little as a week or two, but sometimes it takes nearly the full course. An anti-inflammatory can be given along with Panacur because some of the symptoms can be due to the inflammation caused by the infection. I…[Read more]

Seizures do point to EC and as LBJ says, EC tests are not very good. Maybe you could ask if you can treat with Panacur anyway. (It’s a slow acting drug so you’re unlikely to see rapid improvement.)

An inner ear infection (or, rather, middle ear infection, technically) doesn’t always have to be visible from the outside, although sometimes the vet…[Read more]

Typically, if a bunny is having seizures, vets will simply treat for EC and an infection. So Panacur and an antibiotic. You can add a NSAID too for inflammation. EC tests are notoriously unreliable.

That figures! She did it while running off, but I was already coming towards them since she had been acting suspicious so couldn’t tell if she was mad or still in mounting mode. The buzz was something my bridge bun Elmer used to do when he was courting me before his neuter lol. My other buns don’t make that noise! It’s funny how different buns…[Read more]

Bunnies can be weird sometimes. Assuming there is nothing medically wrong, she may just be feeling secure in her pen. She knows the door is open and she can come out whenever she wants, but she prefers the pen. This isn’t unusual, especially if there have been changes around the house. I agree with Dana. Sometimes closing the door makes coming out…[Read more]

That means they are thinking about mounting!

What does a buzz sound with a tail wag mean?

Keep us posted!

It would be good to have her checked out by a vet to make sure there is nothing medical going on. Is she spayed?

It is somewhat normal for buns to become less active as they grow up, but it sounds like this is a pretty dramatic shift.

A couple thoughts, one funny thing I’ve noticed is that when I’ve left my buns pens open 24/7 they actually…[Read more]
