Just wanted to add: You dont need to take away his pellets, its great if he wants to eat some.

If your vet said not to bandsge it its best to go with their advice. Rabbits can really hate bandages.

If you can make her sit still for like 10 minutes after you’ve applied the cream it would have had some time to work. Also obv keep her area as clean as possible – launder mats that fits in the machine, put down clesn bedsheets or clean fleece…[Read more]

Yeah it’s not actively bleeding at the moment but it was a few bleeding a few days back. That’s how we discovered it as the cushion she was on had drops of blood. My rabbit savvy vet is only available to me on the phone as he’s currently abroad. He said it’s stage 1 and not bad. My bun didn’t lick the antibiotic ointment but when she hopped of…[Read more]

The sore on the right foot looks as it is  actively bleeding. Does your bun leave the sore alone when you’ve put on the antibiotic cream? If she licks the cream off it won’t have the intended effect.

I’ve used a wound-healing cream called Zalve with great results, but Idk if it’s available in the USA. It can be used on open sores and infected…[Read more]

Making the environment as soft and cushioned as possible is important. I would add memory foam (bath mats work well) to her main areas, and soft blankets on the flooring anywhere she…[Read more]

I would also recommend imaging to make sure there isn’t any hidden damage. Rabbits hide their…[Read more]

Yeah that medication decreases their appetite . Is your rabbit drinking water ?

It has been documented that gabapentin can cause decreased appetite in rabbits. So even though he is probably feeling better, the medication could be contributing to him not wanting to eat as much.

Is your bunny leaving cecotropes behind that would have normally been eaten? That could explain the smelly poop. If this is a mobility/unable to clean himself issue, then I would definitely talk to his vet again. This could be a pain-related response. There could be an infection, for example. Or, in rare cases, there could have been an injury that…[Read more]
