I’m sorry Winston has an eye infection. The cause is often hay, but it could perhaps be the bedding or practically anything that can cause a scratch on the eye, where ambient, otherwise harmless, bacteria can start to grow. The recent neuter has put a little bit of strain on his immune defense, so that could have contributed.

Also, here is the new set up. Thinking when all the combos are getting along, I can just open up the middle during the day and let all 4 interact. I closed off the condos currently as there seemed to be some disputes over them (and it was harder to separate them, hence the bite I got).

So, yesterday BJ and Bonnie did very well together, and Coop and Myra did very well together. Last night I decided to put BJ back with Myra and Coop with Bonnie. BJ and Myra were wonderful and back to normal. I realized BJ hadn’t really been eating his salad when separated from Myra but wolfed it down once they were together. Coop and Bonnie also…[Read more]

Stressors can dampen the immune system and cause something to flare up, so anything you feel you can do to relax him may be helpful. There’s also the understanding that he may adjust to the noise and things that are happening. If there is a lot of air irritants, definitely make sure there is good ventilation where he is.

Ive sent you a PM with info  about posting pictures!

this song always involuntary pops into my head when my sick animals start eating again.

Is there a more quiet area of the house you can move him to? Does he seem better in the evening once things quiet down?

8 is senior for sure, but he might have several more years in him, so don’t despair.

well I really want to post poop pictures and a video of him eating because isn’t it just the best thing to see a bunny eat after not eating???  I LOVE the sound of happy chewing.

Is there a trick to posting pictures in replys?  It just keeps saying not allowed.

Thank you so much Bam.  It is so lonely to have sick animals, especially with co…[Read more]

Thank you, thats definitely a good safe place to start!

Oh, wonderful!!! 😃🐇

Well I can’t get this picture to upload but…  WE HAVE POOP!

im heading to the store to get… one of everything I guess! Literally whatever he wants. I’ll update when I get back.

It does sound like he is improving. It also sounds like you are capable of caring for him yourself, since you are a nurse and knows what to look out for (hypothermia, dehydration, lethargy, a distended stomach -a bun’s abdomen should be very soft always.)

It is great that he drinks, but it may not be enough with oral fluids. If there is some sort…[Read more]

Ok hi!  Thank you!

I called the vet and while they are willing to see him, they really don’t see rabbits.  They are willing and can probably do an xray but can’t do labs.  oof.  I live in Humboldt county which is very rural and 5 hours away from the bay area, just to emphasize that there aren’t other easy options.

I did have pain meds and I gav…[Read more]

We will be here!

Make sure your bun is kept warm – a poorly bun can get hypothermic, which is very dangerous.

Simethicone is good, reglan is, as you are saying, best held off on until you’ve seen a vet. Proper care for a GI stasis bun is fluid therapy with sub q fluids, often with an added vitamin B-complex. If the bun has a low temp, the fluids…[Read more]

Hi Xxventanaxx! Great to see you again! I can barely belive that little Lux is 5 years, it seems like just yesterday she was a little baby 💗

A weepy eye can have many reasons. Something can have irritated the eye, often a strand of hay. A tear duct can have become clogged.

You can first of all try rinsing the eye with saline eyewash for humans,…[Read more]
