EC tests are notoriously unreliable, so often vets will treat for it if there are any symptoms. The treatment for it is cheap and safe for the bun (it’s essentially a long course of dewormer along with metacam for inflammation). EC can often flair up when buns have a weakened immune system (like with aging) as it’s suspected that many buns carry…[Read more]

Hmmmm I’m not sure, but my instinct is saying that giving a half dose wouldn’t be good… maybe give whatever you have left (up to the dose needed) and call the vet in the morning?

Thank you so much for your response!

He is leaving some cecotropes in the afternoon, which I thought might be from back pain but I do see him eating cecotropes as well. These poops that I’m worried about are like really soft, mushy, wet versions of his hard poops. Sometimes they are crazy shapes or fused onto normal poops. I find them with a mix…[Read more]

@DanaNM I don’t think I have a full dose left for tomorrow. :/ The rest of the Sulfatrim is supposed to arrive tomorrow or the next day. I have a little bit left in each of the bottles and he’s on 2ml morning and night (every 12 hours). Should I give him half of what I have left in the morning then the rest at night? I was thinking that would kee…[Read more]

Thanks for the replies! I was told she was a satin when I got her, I don’t know why her vet thought she wasn’t. Her fur looks like it’s literally glowing when she’s laying in a sunny spot, if only she liked being cuddled 😞

your bunny looks like the brown version of mine!

I agree with Dana. Definitely something to look into.

When my foster bun went into GI stasis, he was flopping a lot on his side and looked like he was in discomfort.  He also refused treats.

Please update us – I hope Zatanna is okay <3

Oh no we have to be mortal enemies now 😉 I’m from Missoula but I’ll make an exception because I love bunnies and bunny people.  Show us pictures once you get the enclosure set up!

It doesn’t look like inflammation or a growth. It just looks like the end of the toe there. Unless I’m not seeing something.

Just to piggy-back on what Wick said, there are some resources here, under the “suprise litter” section, that might be helpful to you:

Regarding mom, stick to her normal diet. Whatever greens she normally gets should be fine (romaine and dandelion sound great). I know lavender should be…[Read more]

Hmmm, if he’s having some spine pain, he might be having trouble eating his cecotropes. So it might not be the metacam causing the poops, but maybe his pain preventing them from eating them? If he isn’t showing any signs of discomfort I don’t think it’s a huge issue.

Has the vet considered E cuniculi? Just wondering since you mentioned the…[Read more]

Looks like a satin to me.

Her fur does not look like a rex in the photo, it looks most like a satin if you ask me (based on how shiny her fur is and it being silky)! Satins can be lots of different colors, it has more to do with the physical structure of the hairs.

I had a satin before, he was soooo beautiful:

She could definitely be a mix! Her fur color is gorgeous regardless 😀 I am not good at breed identification outside whether your rabbit looks like mine…. I can confirm you have neither a netherland dwarf nor an American Sable, haha.

Silky fur is always so lovely, and paired with that color would make it hard for me not to want to snuggle her…[Read more]

As a note before responding, discussion of intentional rabbit breeding is prohibited on these forums; however, we understand the pursuit for advice, especially if it is a surprise (i.e. non-intentional).

Unfortunately, due to this policy, the majority of BinkyBunny users are not experienced with taking care of a new mother and litter. I would…[Read more]

I hope your rabbit is okay. I have a rabbit with reoccurring episodes of GI stasis that started around the same age as yours. Turns out she has dental disease. I really hope that’s not the case with yours. My rabbit is 5 now and still dealing with and managing the dental disease and just getting her through the GI Stasis when she has a flare u…[Read more]

I hope everything has been fine/improving since the vet visit!!
