Ah, I see. That’s very hard regarding the teeth. Does he tend to “bounce back” after his trims very quickly? I think that would also factor into my decision personally. Some bunnies snap right back to eating normal, other’s take days of recovery and practically go into stasis. All of those things affect quality of life.

The treatment that @LBJ10…[Read more]

Yes, you most commonly hear about the procedure being used on dogs with glaucoma. The Missouri HRS has an article that does mention it briefly: https://mohrs.org/rabbit-eye-health/

There are also some scientific articles out there that mention using it. However, there do not appear to be any studies. At least none that I know of. As with many…[Read more]

Hi guys, just a little update.

My vet suggested it would be fine as long as they can’t eat it (we have had vinyl tiles in the past and they’ve never been able to lift it,  if it was on the base of the cage). One of the things, I should have mentioned in the original post is that Peri unfortunately has chronic problems (teeth, gum infections and…[Read more]

Hmm, I believe my vet said something about this but that he’d never seen it used on rabbits before, he said something about only using it in dogs. Any chance you might have a link or info about where you read about that? (And he is already blind, so I’m not worried about that!)

Aww! Congrats on one year!

Is he already blind from the glaucoma? I’ve read about using gentamicin injections to destroy the ciliary body, which permanently reduces pressure in the eye. It also leads to blindness if they are not already blind in that eye.

Sounds like a normal teenage bunny to me.

Moss is harmless. Just pick it out, no big deal. The bigger concern would be moisture in the hay, but I don’t think moss is necessarily a sign of that… simply that there was a cool shaded spot in the field where the moss could grow.

My rabbit was spayed a little bit ago and she didn’t eat for quite a bit so what I did was take pellet dust at the bottom of the bag and mix it with water and feed that to her. I just made sure she kept pooping, I also gave her a crap ton of treats and this helped her digestive system keep running.

Hi Dana, thank you so much for your reply… the thing about the molar trim is that he has already had them trimmed twice. He had them done the first week of November, and already needed one again the first week of January (he was refusing to eat again). The vet saw him again this week and said he is already starting to develop spurs again on some…[Read more]

I’m very sorry, that’s a very hard decision to be going through. 11 years is a wonderful life for a bunny, so congratulations on taking such good care of him so far!

One thing that jumped out to me is that every 2 months for molar trims is pretty frequent. Usually older buns teeth don’t grow as fast, so it’s possible that he might not need them…[Read more]

@Bam thanks! yeah I will definitely consider calling the vet if I’m worried about Sid :))) at the moment I’m not worried about him harming himself as I got his nail clipped when we went to the vets, and I haven’t seen any sort of redness or blood or sores. The scratching isn’t too invasive for him, either.  I have also been doing a lot of brainsto…[Read more]

Adorable!

Good suggestion! This is a useful trick also when they are stressed. I noticed when one of my rabbits was stressed he wouldn’t eat or drink for a while but would still munch on Kale.  I also change their water 3x per day to keep it clean and fresh.  It really does seem like they drink more when it’s cleanest. That is especially useful for a bun l…[Read more]
