I would get it checked out by a vet. If it hasn’t changed for the past 3 weeks, that can be positive, though it can still be indicative of an underlying issue that needs to be treated or it is getting worse but in a way that can’t be perceived yet. Rabbits eyes can definitely get nicked by hay or other things accidentally, so it’s not necessarily…[Read more]

He’s had it for about 3 weeks and we haven’t had him checked by the vet yet because we aren’t sure if it’s serious. I have absolutely no idea what has caused it and when i tried doing research online for the possibilities nothing came up. Yes he’s eating and pooping normally. Thank you for replying!

How long has it been around for, and has it been checked by a vet yet? Do you have any idea what may have caused it? Also, is your rabbit eating/pooping normally?

To my knowledge, really any eye-related ailment really needs to be assessed by a rabbit-experienced vet to figure out the proper treatment and help the rabbit.

I’m so very sorry for your loss. It is extra horrible to lose a pet so abruptly. Its always hard when a pet passes, but the chock of sudden decline and death in a per is traumatising, as Dana says. I lost my bun Bam after just 2 days of illness.

You didn’t let her down when you chose to try and save her. If you hadn’t given her that chance, you…[Read more]

Ahhh thanks for all the nice comments guys! They still kill me with cuteness every single day. Unfortunately Fresno is very mean to Quincy and acts like a completely different bun around her… like almost kind of malicious. It seems a trio bond is completely out of the question much to my dismay.

Bladesmith – Thank you sooo much, he really is…[Read more]

Hello!

Yup @DanaNM all my buns have been on a nebuliser at some point or other in their lives.

Peep is on one permanently – he suffered a very bad pseudomonas infection that has left him with chronic nasal discharge ( looks like inflammation of his turbinate)
He is permanently on metacam (oral)  and f10 sterilization fluid (nebuliser)

I use on…[Read more]

If your other bunny didn’t have respiratory symptoms, I doubt it was related. It can be so hard dealing with chronic conditions, there are so many “what ifs” and unknowns. I don’t have any personal experience with nebulizers, but I know some members have.

Hang in there, as long as she is eating, pooping, and generally behaving normally then I…[Read more]

We are on day 5 of doxycyclin and Charlie had a sneezing fit blowing thick runny mucus out of her nose. She kept sneezing and I was trying to catch the mucus as she sneezed and it came out for her. She seemed better for a couple days. My husband is now saying its just allergies because the vet told us a couple weeks ago when we thought she was…[Read more]

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]
