I agree with Hazel. He definitely looks like a Finn or Finley.

The oocysts can persist in the soil for a long time. As for indoors and on hard/dry surfaces, I don’t think they survive very long because the conditions are not ideal for that. From what I’ve read, they die off in a matter of days. I think Wick is correct. Clean everything thoroughly just to be on the safe side, but it should be OK.

I use Yesterday’s News, but I’ve also used wood stove pellets in the past. I have a BB store litter screen and it works great.

Glad to hear he has agreed to try new things!

I would consider less enthusiasm for food a lack of appetite. Not a complete lack of appetite, of course. But something seems to be going on. I agree with having him checked out.

It sounds like…[Read more]

They are rabbit specific toys and I know it wont harm him to eat them in small amounts but he likes to just sit and eat like whole toys at once. All of his toys are made with rabbit safe ingredients but I don’t know if it would cause issues for him to eat like a whole bunch of wood or other things his toys are made of at once. Like would he be at…[Read more]

Don’t beat yourself up! It’s easy to trust a professional and in the medical field. I had a similar thing (but much more serious) issue with a cat and ended up not making it because of a poor diagnosis. And I knew better the whole time but did not try a different vet until too late. We’re only human and so are doctors. Not all may have specific…[Read more]

He sounds adorable!! 😀  I agree, we’ll need pictures!! 😉

Please don’t feel bad, you’ve done so much to try and help her get better. Finding a good vet is hard. I’ve been through more than I care to count. It sounds like your new vet is getting to the bottom of it, that’s the important thing. 🙂  I hope she can start her treatment soon.
