Bam, thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful reply! I actually got a bit teary just for having some reassurance!! So silly!

I’m very disheartened to hear it may take 6 months to calm down but hopeful regarding your comment about her not being antisocial. She is actually very social and I hope we will get a good relationship back!! I…[Read more]

This is a good place for your questions. For more specific advise on bonding matters and methods and also what progress or non-progress you are making, the bonding section is the appropriate section.

I can understand that you are starting to resent her. Keep in mind that many parents of human teenagers also start to resent their teenage…[Read more]

Hi everyone,

I’ve signed up to this forum because I’m extremely stressed out! I would really appreciate some help and advice.

I have a rabbit called Phil (originally thought to be a he!). She coming up on 8 months old now. She has been free roam more or less since day 1 – she has the run of the apartment. At around 5/6 months old, she started…[Read more]

Bam replied to the topic Is my bunny in pain from his cataract or is he sick as well? in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 9 months ago

Hi!

Cataracys could cause eye pain in for example very bright sunlight. It can’t cause weight loss though. What drops are you treating him with and what surgery have you been discussing?

Cataracts in rabbits can be caused by an intracellular parasite called e cuniculi. The parasite can be transferred to the rabbit while it is still in the womb,…[Read more]

Hi guys,

Panda is a 7 year old mini lop that was diagnosed with a cataract a couple of months ago. I’m worried about him surviving surgery so we’re treating him with drops at the moment.

My worry is that he started breathing rapidly and I noticed his ears are always hot. He’s also lost weight and in general is much more lethargic.

Does anyon…[Read more]

Bam replied to the topic Results from Eye Specialist in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 9 months ago

I agree with LBJ, the most common cause of uveitis and cataracts are EC. EC is very common in rabbits, and cataracts in young rabbits often mean the bun has contracted the parasite in its mother’s womb.

A blood test is the most common way to test for EC. The EC parasite is shed in the urine for only a short period of time, so a urine sample is…[Read more]

Thanks! OK, so what’s the question then? What they found doesn’t surprise me at all considering it was clear she had uveitis in that eye. There are several potential causes. The most common cause of uveitis (and cataracts) in young bunnies is EC, especially if there is no known traumatic injury to the eye. Since Bernard is not displaying any…[Read more]

Thank you for rescuing them!

If you are planning to keep them all, and want this room to be more livable long term, there are lots of bunny-proofing types in the “Bunny Info” section at the top of the page. “NIC” cube storage grids are especially useful for blocking access to areas and for making temporary housing that could be reconfigured later…[Read more]

Oops sorry. I PM’ed you Dana but I don’t mind typing up the info. Here’s what it says:

”We noted a cataract of the left eye, which was classified as immature at this point. Immature signifies that she is still able to see around the cataract. We also noted sheets of inflammatory material between the iris and lens, telling us that there has bee…[Read more]

Hello everyone!

I am new here, and I have a problem.

My neighbor had these three rabbits, that she decided she couldn’t care for. She said that she couldn’t care for them, and was going to put them to the pound, so in a moment of weakness, I took them in.

Since I have slippery wooden floors they cannot free-roam. I am trying to give them the…[Read more]

Yeah, I can’t read it either.

Hi Marissa,

It’s hard to read the the report in the pic you posted. PM me and I can help with inserting it!
Bernard2020 started the topic Results from Eye Specialist in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 9 months ago

So I just got back from the eye specialist with Bernard and I have a few questions about what everything means. I attached a pic of basically everything the doctor said. He said she will be tested for EC. I heard the normal way of doing that is taking liquid from the eyes but he said he’s going to do a blood test to see if she has any a…[Read more]
Hazel replied to the topic best brand for CBD? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 9 months ago

I get Green Roads for my elderly ferret. I like it and it seems to be well regarded online. It’s the only one I’ve tried though so I don’t have anything to compare it to. I haven’t given any to my rabbit so I can’t give any rabbit specific advice.
Bam replied to the topic Could mold be the problem for Charlie? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 5 years, 9 months ago

I do think mould could have contributed to Charlie’s problems. He is young, I dont know how old Pip is, but young animals are as a rule more sensitive due to their immune defense not yet being fully mature.

That said, longer courses of abx and combinations/change of types of abx during the course of treatment is not at all uncommon with rabbit…[Read more]
