Thank you both for the very kind and considerate responses. At the moment no, I do not have any chances of getting help for depression or anxiety, nor have I ever sought professional help. My parents are very much convinced that there is nothing mentally wrong with me and that it is an adolescent phase. It has been constant issues for 3ish years…[Read more]

Oh, I’m so sorry you’re going through this! <3

The pandemic has taken a huuuuuuge toll on all of us, so I have a lot of empathy right now. Know that it’s not just you going through this, that there are others experiencing the same things, that there are people who understand and can help you. 🙂 If you ever need someone to talk to, for advice, a…[Read more]

I have the same issue with Mila. She has had a few episodes and each time it’s more frequent. We have spent well over 5k dollars only on emergency vet bills. She is now on simethicone, metaclopramide and another medicine daily for life and she still gets the go stasis issue.

indeed she is sick right now and it’s very hard for me to keep spe…[Read more]

Before we discuss rehoming Rain… you said that you don’t see anything changing anytime soon. Are you able to see someone about your depression and anxiety?

Rabbits can be given Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or Chlorphenamine. However, it seems Chlorphenamine is difficult to find as a syrup (children’s formula). I have experience with using Benadryl, but like Wick, it wasn’t for allergies.

Thank you for the reply! It is quite frustrating. Unfortunately if I do give him a head pat he’ll usually sprint away and not find it very soothing. I do give him a treat each time afterwards which he knows to expect now. Every once in a while if he’s relaxed enough I can give him a scritch for a second or two so maybe I’ll try scheduling his…[Read more]

Hello! That sounds quite frustrating. One question: have you tried doing the whole head pat and pick up then treat thing? Because I know that that’s troubling, making you feel like your the only one in the world who has this issue, but your probably not, and also if it works, then it’s worth it! 🙂 Sorry, if I can’t be of much help! But wish you luck! 🙂

Phone books (at least where I live) have soy-based ink, so they are safe. I don’t know if this is true of all phone books, this is just my experience. One thing is for sure, they aren’t as easy to come by nowadays. As for the cat scratchers, catnip is perfectly safe.

One of my rabbits, Fable, is being treated with an antihistamine. I wrote about it here: https://binkybunny.com/forums/topic/childrens-benadryl-tx/

Based on my (abundant) experience with long-term antibiotics for URIs with my other rabbit Wick, both myself and my vet decided not to go with trying antibiotics because Fable’s symptoms are not…[Read more]

Update: Fable completed our experiment of 3 weeks on it. No significant changes I could tell in her breathing rate, so we discontinued it for what has been a little over a week. Presently, I noticed instances each day where I could hear her breathing (varying intensity of wheezing), for 3 days in a row. While on benadryl, this had not happened…[Read more]

Sometimes bad things happen to good buns.

Update: A conversation was had this afternoon it was very calm and the neighbours speak kindly and just seem to be of a different age of bunny treatment.. especially since the conversation started because they ran over their own lion head in front of my house and just scooped it up in a garbage bag like…[Read more]

Yeah, I’m hoping she stays well!

I’m wondering what caused it, though. When I was looking up some possibilities, the most common one I found was indigestion….But I can’t really think of anything that might have caused that. I mean, they’ve been chewing on the carpet a bit, but I didn’t think that would do anything. 😕
