I’m so sorry to hear about Buddy. These things happen, unfortunately, especially in areas where there are not a lot of exotic vets. From his symptoms though, I do wonder if much could have been done even if an exotic vet was on-hand. They may have been able to provide better supportive care, but the outcome may have been the same.

For Charlie…[Read more]

Oh, wow, you sure have had quite the time! 😥

I’m so so so so so sorry that you lost Buddy! 😥  What has helped me in the past sometimes, is to look through old photos of them, to smile at the memories, and to laugh at their antics! 😀 They sure do have a memorable character don’t they? 😉 There were those days though when I just ne…[Read more]

Yes, the few that look stuck together were from my great job as a photographer! 😆

When I broke it up, they weren’t soft and mushy, and I don’t really know what digested hay would look like, I assume it would be green, but I only found a brown. Should I take a picture of the broken up poop? 😆

Thank you for your response! 🙂

Thank you for your kind reply.  I’ll either take Charlie to our regular vet who normally saw Buddy or possibly a new vet who I’ve heard is very good with exotics and rabbits. Only problem there is I’ve heard she works two different clinics so not at same one all week. The other clinic is out of town. But I may call and check. I’d like to have the…[Read more]

Hah!

To me the difference here is that Silver’s poops look very uniform in size, and you know they are normal for her. 🙂 From the photo it looks like there are two stuck together, but I think that’s just the camera angle. From Pinky’s poops in the other thread I was more noticing the irregular sizes than the color.

If you break them up are they…[Read more]

I don’t have much to add on to what Bam said, I just wanted to say I’m very sorry for the loss of your sweet Buddy. <3 It does sound like something quite serious was going on, it is so unfortunate you had to deal with such poor treatment on top of having a very sick bunny.

There are a lot of cases of upper respiratory infections that come on this…[Read more]

I am so sorry you lost Buddy. It does sound like an absolute nightmare. When a bun develops nystagmus and other neurological signs, the first things a vet should suspect are a  middle ear infection or e cuniculi. I’m so sorry the ER clinic treated you the way they did.

I’m very sorry your new bun isnt well. He will need antibiotics for this,…[Read more]

I think if you just hang one on the border between them that should work? You’ll have to see if they dig at it or chew it. With mine I was able to clip it to the outside of the fence so they weren’t able to chew at it or lift it up easily.

@DanaNM okay thank you! Do I put a blanket up on both of the pens 24/7?

When I used hardware cloth I would use pliers to bend the edges in so they weren’t sharp. It was pretty time consuming and fiddly (which is why I was so excited about the “nose guards” LOL).

The hardware cloth roll I got was actually the same width as my x-pen was high, so I just used the whole roll to line the x-pen. Then I only had to worry…[Read more]

It might help to hang up a towel or a blanket for now. Sometimes it can be a bit too much for them to see each other right away. Hanging up a towel can help them get used to scents first, then you can gradually bring down the barrier.

If they are constantly trying to “get at” each other, they might do better with the buffer of 6-8 inches between…[Read more]

Bun Jovi will thump when he zooms around too! I always interpret it as him letting us all know that he is in charge. LOL

Bun Jovi will poop in his sleep too, if I knew how to help with that I would tell you! I usually just pick them up and throw them in the box twice a day. It doesn’t really bother me since it helps me make sure his poops look good (with a bonded pair it can be hard to tell).

It almost looks like they have extra cecal material mixed in, maybe even…[Read more]

An ER vet may be able to prescribe pain meds, even if they aren’t rabbit specialists. Metacam is the most common pain med for rabbits.

I’m glad he is eating and pooping ok. Hoping you can get him in to the vet first thing tomorrow. Often rabbit vets will make time in their schedule for serious illness, so if you call around and they say they…[Read more]

Okay thanks Bam! I’m glad he’s happy!

I’m pretty sure that all of the light ones are Muffin and all of the really dark ones are Pinky. The cardboard photo is older, but I was trying to compare it to my thumb nail which doesn’t really work because I have very small hands… Maybe I’ll use a quarter next time.
