George was six when he had it done. Like you we had no idea he had an ear infection until we did a CT scan. He later developed facial nerve paralysis on his left side. Knowing what I now know, I think I would have done it earlier.

As to the  extra maintenance: twice a day I put drops of low concentration Aamikacin mixed in Trizedta. I was told…[Read more]

Moxie!!!! I still can’t get over the idea that you bought a house… o_O

I think you’ll do with with setting them up in a smaller, quieter area until they get used to their new surroundings. You being there will obviously help. Once they have acclimated, you can start giving them more freedom.

As for pee smell… hmm, not sure what kind of…[Read more]

I agree. It’s understandable why they would ask about you cat. It sounds like he is in the right place. Hopefully they can get things under control. It will definitely be an uphill battle.

This is tough. Normally you hear of this being done when a bunny has had multiple, hard to treat ear infections. He’s over 3 years old and he has only had one… if it was going to be a real problem, wouldn’t have had ear infections before now? At the same time, I can see why you might be tempted to just go ahead with the surgery. After all, it…[Read more]

Hopefully it isn’t cancerous. Keep us updated!

I took my rabbit to see the vet on Tuesday. She doesn’t think it was missed during her exam and she was really concerned at how fast the lump developed. She said it might be a few things but most concerning would be a fast spreading cancer. She referred me to another clinic to get a fine needle aspiration done to test for cancer cells, I have an a…[Read more]

Getting a second opinion is a good idea. It’s a tricky decision to make, for sure.

I’m so sorry to hear that, but it sounds like you did the right thing for everyone involved. I’m getting the feeling my pair might be heading in the same direction. I have a depressing update.

I separated them last night with a playpen, two areas in the laundry. But this morning noticed Maya had bite marks all over her ear, about five of them,…[Read more]

Hi Hazel, DanaNM and Ergodic,

Thank you so much for responding and thanks for the link DanaNM. I was wondering whether we were jumping the gun since this is Ju’s first ear infection that we’ve come across. He’s 3 years and 3 months old. Is it better to try and clear this infection and wait to see what happens? But I’m also scared that if I do…[Read more]

I’m so so sorry 🙁

(((Binky free little Stew)))

I’m so sorry 🙁

It sounds like he is in very good hands, hopefully they make some progress with the antibiotics. It’s very good he has an appetite, it shows he is a fighter.

(((Muffin)))

I’m so sorry. It does sound like he is in good hands. Sepsis is very serious in humans too. Antibiotics (intravenous)  and supportive care is how sepsis is treated. Sadly some bacteria are resistent to antibiotics nowadays, but hopefully the vets will find a combination that will work.

I can understand that they asked about the cats, since you…[Read more]

I’m so sorry. 😥  You did everything you could to help him.

Binky free little bun.

He didn’t make it 😭

We are just in shock right now.

Also, he has staphylococcus aureus, if that makes any difference.

If you have a lop that has ear problems, it may result in facial paralysis if you let it go. My rabbit George had done to one ear. He had a stubborn ear infection. It allowed direct access to to ear so it definitely helped getting the antibiotics. It does require extra maintenance you will probably be treating the ear daily for the rest of his…[Read more]

Yep she was also nipping just like that but now it really hurts sometimes haha

Of course i dont pick her up a lot just sometimes for cuddles and she seems to like it a lot. I don’t understand because three days ago there was NO chance to pick her up 🤨 it’s soooo weird. So I’m hoping she will stay like that from now on (after being spayed…[Read more]

It’s funny, she sounds a lot like my newest bunny, Cooper. When I got him he was pretty recently neutered and didn’t mind being picked up. He was also very nippy! Now that his hormones have settled he still doesn’t mind being picked up, but I prefer to let him hop up on my lap when he wants to (he still does, and pretty much demands a cuddle…[Read more]
