I also wonder if you ask talk to your vet, if you can get the appointment moved up. I know many vets are only doing emergency procedures, so perhaps if you inform them that your rabbits hormonal behavior has actually been a bit dangerous for your family/kids, maybe they will try to squeeze her in sooner.

I’m sorry to hear about what’s going on, and to everyone’s point, yes. The frustration and distress is absolutely real, and at the same time, she does not intend for that to be happening. I agree that for now, making a semi-permanent (as in until she is spayed and recovered) restricted space (i.e.  dog crate open attached to large Xpen(s)) can be…[Read more]

Completely agree with LBJ, this is probably the number one reason people dump their rabbits. They don’t realize that spaying/neutering is pretty much mandatory for pet rabbits and once the poo (or even pee) hits the fan, the rabbit must go. I don’t know who you got her from, but they should have talked to you at length about the importance of…[Read more]

Unfortunately, this is why a lot of rabbits are taken to shelters or dumped. I’m not saying you would do such a thing, I’m just saying that what you’re experiencing is not uncommon and for some people it is a breaking point. It’s very sad because many people don’t realize that a lot of this can be resolved by spaying or neutering. I’m glad you…[Read more]

Today we’ve been doing the whole bathroom, and it has been SO much better. Definitely something changed since the last time I tried using the whole bathroom as well. Theo still chases Alfredo but he has room to get away, and after some bunny magic they mutually groomed! I haven’t had to physically intervene since probably 5 hours ago. I’m thinking…[Read more]

Hi lbj10

You are correct it was a wart due to hpv virus. The vet confirmed when we had it checked out

Thanks again

Thanks for your help lbj10

As I said to dface I’m sorry I was blocked out if my account and only just got back into this one.

When they took a sample initially it was mainly inflammatory cells and very few “suspect”cells.

It then developed pus, which is very thick unless you warm it up first and it becomes very stringy. It keeps coming to the…[Read more]

Hi

Thanks so much for your help

Sorry for the late reply. I couldnt get into my account for some reason. It was locked, possibly too many incorrect password attempts.

She still has the lump. It keeps coming to the surface and bursting after I apply vaseline and heat.

She’s old and fragile so the vet is reluctant to remove via surgery. A…[Read more]

Hi Bam

Sorry for my poor communication, she’s been ill for so long I didn’t know where to begin.

We were given the subqs because she stopped drinking and her droppings became very hard. They still are sadly

Thanks again for all your help

He will in all likelyood get over this, but maybe not until several hours have passed, or until tomorrow. A really terrified rabbit will not be interested in pellets or treats. So its great that he took pellets from your hand!

Just let him come to you when he wants to. Serve him his dinner like normal, but dont fuss over him too much.

I’m glad she’s on sub q fluids! That would explain why she won’t drink.

I looked up when my bun had his tummy trouble, he was started on Flagyl on December 3 2020, so he’s been good now almost precisely 2 months.

Hi Wick

Thanks for your advice.

We have put a little apple juice in and she still won’t drink.

We have been weighing her water and taking turns to stay with her round the clock over the weekend and know she’s not even drinking after eating.

She is drinking 10 x1 ml syringes of water every now and again. But she won’t drink more than that. She…[Read more]

Hi Bam

Thanks so much for your reply. I feel so reassured that your rabbit recovered.

I hope that they find the culprit in the fecal exam and hopefully it can be treated with antibiotics too.

Glad you’re little one is OK now, it’s not a nice experience for them.

My rabbit is on subqs while we wait.

Thanks again

Jade

It’s only been a few hours.  I don’t see anything out of the ordinary other than a little bit of dry skin flakes (I do not see them moving).  We brushed her gently and things seem to have gotten a little better.  Our apartment is typically pretty dry to begin with and we are packing for a move so there is likely more irritants in the air.  Tha…[Read more]

I echo Dana’s point in that the small space method is a commonly seen method, but not always successful or productive. What you see on bonding sites and videos are general things that have worked for many rabbits, but it’s important to remember that there is no “one-way” to bond rabbits — the owner’s intuition can be a much better tool than…[Read more]
