I haven’t.. when Milo went for his physical when the problems first arose they checked just his front teeth I believe, and said his teeth looked aligned. I’m not really sure as to why they haven’t recommended this to me but I’m thinking of bringing it up as it seems so weird it’s literally just affecting his one nostril.

If it it is because of his dewlap being wet constantly, then you could also switch to a water bottle (I know, they aren’t the best, but it will keep him from getting wet so much)

LOL, I was squinting at the picture and I was like “that’s a mouse”!

Yeah, it happens. Rodents, bugs, etc. can get caught up in the baling.

It was not your fault, and just remember, he is happy now, and he will watch over you and he doesn’t want you to to be guilty and mean to yourself, and he doesn’t want to see you so upset.

Yep, everything else is fine.

Did you ever have his teeth thoroughly checked? I ask because there is another possibility here. Tooth problems, particularly tooth root problems, can cause issues with the sinuses and eyes.

I agree I’m kind of nervous that he will be stopping the baytril after 4 weeks.. so if all else fails I’ll be calling them back. It definitely has not been any worse… there would be days I thought maybe it was getting better ( his nose looked clearer) then it was back again, so it sounds like it has been keeping him from getting any worse.

I agree that he might still be a bit too hormonal. More pre-bonding is never a bad thing.

Also, it sounds like maybe you’ve only done 1 or two sessions? Could you fill out the bonding template that’s pinned in this section and paste it in your reply? The bit about what you’ve tried so far in bonding sessions is especially helpful. 🙂

Hmm, not familiar with them. Can you share the ingredient list?

I’d say take a step back for a few more weeks to give your male some more time. They should have ideally a month or two after the neuter to let the hormones settle down. Your female could possibly use a bit more time too. More cage swaps could be good as well.

Okay great 😀 . So many exciting possibilities! Yay! 😛

Perhaps you can redirect that energy into a dig box or something. Like hey, I can dig here all I want and my owner doesn’t stop me!

I would also add that there could be non-ec causes of sneezing/discharge, so trying a different antibiotic can be worth exploring. I also would say that going 4 weeks without increased severity in the sneezing/discharge is notable. My Wick similarly did not improve on Baytril, but when we stopped it, it got worse. That is just one case example,…[Read more]

A rabbit that’s very interested in digging would probably dig in pebbles too, but it would be a lot less nice and much harder on the paws. You could perhaps cover part of the grass with metal netting (the grass will soon grow through so its ok to have a wire bottom run if its placed in direct contact with the grass), and keep a little bit free for…[Read more]

Update : Milo completed the shots and genital region appears to be a lot better, he even had interested in his stuffed toy for atleast one day. Unfortunately the Baytril he has been taking for four weeks hasn’t seemed to make any huge improvements. He is still sneezing/ has white snot in one side of his nostril, and some tear/red stained areas of…[Read more]

The only thing I can think of that would really work would be to secure a piece of wire mesh over the sod, so the grass could poke up through it but they couldn’t dig.

But… digging is a very enriching activity for bunnies, and I think one of the benefits of giving them outdoor access. So maybe they would be happier if allowed to dig?

These things happen, sometimes ya just never know! Lops can be more prone to ear issues as well.

They are all fine, go to town. 🙂
