Bam replied to the topic Sore Hocks remedy? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 2 years, 2 months ago
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]

I can’t really see anything in the photos. If the hock is actively bleeding then I think it needs to be physically inspected by the vet…. is your vet rabbit savvy?
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]

DanaNM replied to the topic Nervous bun Momma — shock (does it automatically cause GI stasis?) in the forum DIET & CARE 2 years, 2 months ago
Extreme stress can definitely cause stasis. If he isn’t eating normally you will need to syringe feed him and consult with a rabbit savvy vet to make sure he doesn’t need any additional medications (such as motility meds or a higher dose of pain meds). I would also recommend imaging to make sure there isn’t any hidden damage. Rabbits hide their…[Read more]

hi friends! I’m Sarah, a relatively new bun momma to my holland lop, Buttons. I’m worried sick and looking for any advice because last night around 7pm (it’s currently 6:33 am here in Vegas) I went upstairs to find that my dog got into the room that Buttons free roams (his “bedroom”). Buttons was covered in slobber and completely limp. I immediate…[Read more]

Lanabun started the topic Sore Hocks remedy? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 2 years, 2 months ago
A few days ago my bunny was sitting and we noticed a spot of blood on the cushion. When I investigated it turns out she has sore hocks. Two red blisters on both feet (photo attached). It’s on both feet and I’m actually appalled as to how I’ve let this happen. On the left foot you can’t see it because it’s covered by the fur, I guess as one doesn…[Read more] -

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.

LBJ10 replied to the topic Bunny got neutered a week Ago. Please, I need some advice! in the forum BEHAVIOR 2 years, 2 months ago
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]

hey everyone, my bunny is only about 12 weeks old and he hurt his foot about a week ago and that triggered stasis. He was dragging his rear foot and in a lot of pain. The vet gave him gabapentn and meloxicam. His foot is doing better finally and he is putting weight back on it slowly. He is still on both medications. That being said, he isn’t r…[Read more]
