I’m so sorry for your loss. Your bunnies were adorable. 🙁

Are you in or near an area with RHDV?  It is highly contagious and sadly causes sudden death with few symptoms or symptoms similar to other rabbit ailments.  The three week gap for the first bunny fits, but those two incidents may not be related. If there is any chance if could be RHDV y…[Read more]

I second what Bam said, more time may be the main solution. I would also ensure that you aren’t reinforcing negative behaviors unintentionally. Our pets will turn us into “vending machines” if we let them!

If she bites you when you go to give food, don’t give the food. When she charges your hand, it can help to pet the top of her head with the…[Read more]

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!

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]

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]

Yeah, I can’t read it either.
