Thank you so much for letting me know all this, I really appreciate it!!

I’m so so stressed about taking good care of her. She on the other hand could care less and is acting like nothing is wrong and making it a point to make taking care of her tough, she’s the worst patient😆

OMG, LOL!

Sorry, autocorrect. Yes, you should probably check his tail too, just in case.

Plain Neosporin (i.e. no pain reliever added) is safe to use. The antibiotic probably isn’t necessary, but I imagine in won’t hurt. Other options would be things like Bag Balm or plain diaper rash cream (i.e. no zinc, etc. added).

You’re welcome! Keep us posted on how everything goes with the bonding etc.!

In general, it’s good for any new buns to be confined to their pen for a few days at least to help them get organized with their litter box habits and feel more at home. Walter will benefit from having a space that’s his and that he feels safe in, so try not to hover.  A hide will also help. He might not show any interest in coming out right…[Read more]

They are like the metal material center of a twisty tie.
When I was doing my research on bunny spay, anything I saw about stitches definitely wasn’t much about metal! I took her to a place in VA, maybe certain states or county’s use certain stitchings more I don’t know, I just wish they didn’t use this kind.

There probably wouldn’t have been too…[Read more]

Yeah I was thinking that too. I don’t know how common these kind of stitches are, but I’ve personally never seen them used. I imagine they’re somewhat uncomfortable. 🙁

That makes sense yes! I may only try that if it I see that she’s starting to pull on it even more. I’m going to watch her like a hawk today.

It sucks they use metal stitches, there had to have been something less annoying and pokey they could’ve used. I saw one day I think they moved around a bit and one end was poking at her because started…[Read more]

Well you never know, better check that tail too. 😆

Good idea! I’ll have to do that if I find that it is jagged. And no, I don’t think his tail will fall off 😂

“Don’t be surprised if the tail falls off”

God I hope not! 😉

Sounds like it’s fine, I would still have a look, if the nail did break I would make sure there are no jagged edges and if there are, trim them if possible so he doesn’t get it caught on something again.

Thanks so much! I’ll cut his nails soon and see what happened. It’s the next day and he’s still normal and eating and running, so I think he’ll be fine.

Is she spayed? If not, she’ll be less territorial if you get her spayed and it has the added bonus of eliminating the risk of uterine cancer. I have cats and rabbits and my first rabbit forced my old fat cat to cuddle with him all the time. Then I got him a bunny companion and he forgot the cat even exists.  He 10,000% prefers the company of…[Read more]

Agree with LBJ. If you do the body sock, be careful not to pull it across the incision as you’re putting it on, try to keep it away from the stitches until it’s in place (if that makes sense). Since they’re made of metal, they might get caught in the fabric. And of course, the same goes for taking it off.
