pinkiemarie replied to the topic Most expensive vet bill? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 5 months ago
In the US I’ve seen a steep increase in prices over the last year. 2 years ago we had stasis including an overnight visit for just over $100. This September we had stasis at the same vet for about $300. My friend’s rabbit recently had bad diarrhea and the vet thought he wasn’t going to make it. He pulled through and with all the meds, 2 nights…[Read more]

It won’t do any good this second especially if you can get her to the vet but if she’s having reoccurring tummy problems it would be a good idea to get some critical care to keep on hand for emergencies. I’m not sure what kind of simethicone you have but if it’s not specifically the baby kind, maybe get some of that too.
You’re doing a great…[Read more]

Only in the last 6 weeks we have paid $6,000 CAD for Mila being admitted to the hospital twice. It is a big financial burden but could not sit there and watch her die.
we have another rabbit Harry, he has an ulcer in his eye and dr just told us they will need to remove the eye. We have spent over 1,500 on him on the last 6 months and surgery will…[Read more]

Good job!
Fingers crossed she’ll start eating some more soon!
As you know, we are here, I’ll make sure to check in often!
Would she eat soaked pellets? Not all buns will (mine wont), but some buns actually seem to like pellet mush.

Taiga started the topic Rabbit's ears changing colour/pattern in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 5 months ago
I have recently noticed that my black tort mini rex’s ears have been changing colour really quickly. I’ve noticed them changing a little bit (usually just slightly darker or lighter, or having the darker ‘points’ come down further) when he’s molted in the past, but these changes are much bigger, and he isn’t even molting right now!
He has four…[Read more] -

As of now she is pretty much in the same state :/ I did manage to surprise feed her some painkillers, and she started chewing a book and even ate like half of a treat (i have a buffet laid out in my room for her and thats the only thing she touched.) she is surprisingly strong for someone who hasn’t eaten real food the whole day :// Taking her a…[Read more]

It does sound like she could have a dental problem that causes her mouth to hurt. Dental problems can manifest very suddenly. If she wont eat anything, she does need a vet. (I know you know this). Standard treatment would be painkillers, sub q fluids, syringe feeding and likely a gut motility drug.
An ER vet might not do dental x rays, since she…[Read more]

Bam replied to the topic Did I cause my bunnies death? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 5 months ago
I’m very sorry you lost your bun. I don’t think you caused it. Vaseline wouldnt kill a rabbit. Neither would fur mites. I dont know what lotion you used, and while lotion isn’t something that should be used on a rabbit unless a vet prescribes it, I’m thinking your bun had already been ill for some time when you saw the dry skin. Fur mites are…[Read more]

Bunpal started the topic Did I cause my bunnies death? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 5 months ago
Hi. My bunny died a few weeks ago and I really want to know if what I did may have caused it. 3 days before he passed, I saw that he had dry skin and I’m not sure if I did it that day or the day after, but I decided to get lotion and Vaseline and put it on his dry spots. I put a good amount, but made sure to rub it in well and comb it out. Then o…[Read more]

Chevvy replied to the topic Baby bunny becoming antisocial in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 5 months ago
Thanks for the response @LBJ10. It is worrying me as so many blogs mention that constant digging and tearing up cardboards is a sign of stress/boredom/frustration. She spends an hour in the morning and an hour in the evng tearing up and digging near fridge or couch 😛
Happy if it is her blossoming in progress 🙂 I am looking forward to those…[Read more]

She’s too small and fast to pick up or do the sitting method with plus I’m too scared of hurting her to pull it off :/ She still has not eaten a crumb, it’s been more than 12 hours now. I’m not sure what to do because the rabbit clinic is closed. Shes gotten a few drips of the gas drops but not a full dose, and she drinks a little bit of water.…[Read more]

JDro replied to the topic Unusual Behavior in Bunny in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 5 months ago
Thanks for checking in!
She wound up acting a bit more normal and we wound up not having to take her in. We gave her simethicone just in case it was GI related and it turns out it was. She was zooming around again by 4PM and has been eating drinking pooping and peeing normally!
Her statis behavior was the complete opposite of our last b…[Read more]
