So sorry for the troubles – I will delete your account!

I’ve reported this so the site admins can contact you and sort this out!

LOL!! 😆

That sounds about right! 😆

It is actually recommended to have rabbits that are going to be bonded live side by side as neighbors, so that set-up sounds great to me. 🙂  Once the new bun is settled in, you can start swapping which rabbit is on which side to help the process even more (called “pre-bonding”). The idea is that the buns get very used to each other’s scents and…[Read more]

Hard plastic baby keys or stacking cups are considered safe. Bite marks can accumulate on the surface, but it’s very difficult for them to actually bite pieces off.

Just looking at it, it does look kind of syphilis-y. But I agree, it may be more cost effective to see what the other tests say first.

His syphilis symptoms would get mixed up with his ringworm, so it’s very possible that rather than ringworm coming back and forth every time, it was syphilis. We ended up testing for syphilis because the ringworm symptoms kept coming back but wouldn’t spread like it did originally.

Penicillin shots are done in the back area and are done with a…[Read more]

Thank you Wick! I think I remember some photos you showed me before. I’m sorry he went through that! ):  I’ll definitely keep it in mind if we don’t get much out of these tests.

Did it keep flaring up then going away with antibiotics like Muffin? Also, the vet said the treatment for syphilis would be penicillin shots. She said if it’s ingested…[Read more]

I’m thinking just big misshapen cecotropes.

I think it’s perfectly fine to feed adult pellets. I would be vary though of pellets with no label. You want to make sure they meet nutrition requirements. As for the hay, a mix of alfalfa and grass hay is just fine. Nothing wrong with planning ahead and setting yourself up for success.

Thanks for the update! Notably, there are abnormal presentations of syphilis where symptoms only occur around the mouth. My Wick actually was a case — he had no nose, eyes, or genital symptoms; just mouth! A test obviously means time and money so I think it’s good to keep it in the back while testing more likely options!

Update: Just waiting for test results now. They said they would get them in a few days. They did a culture and skin impression. In the meantime, I was given some Sulfatrim again to help him right now. They said we will probably switch to a different antibiotic when they know what’s going on.

I asked about syphilis, they said it’s unlikely but the…[Read more]

I think your best bet is the vet, if you can afford it and if you’re willing to find one a bit further away. I tried trimming my bun’s nails for like 2 hrs and the front paws was not too bad to handle but I couldn’t stand a chance against those back paws that would kick away the moment I try to trim. Then the next day I took him to the vet and t…[Read more]
