How is she doing now? Bloat is a very serious condition and a true medical emergency. It also tends to progress very rapidly and cause extreme pain. My understanding is that the whole abdomen can become distended and hard. Has she eaten at all since her symptoms started? Has she shown other signs of pain, such as grinding her teeth?

Here are some…[Read more]

It could be when you think he is cozy he is actually in shock or staying still hoping the situation will be over (wild rabbits tend to go very still to avoid being spotted) and then when he realizes it is still going on he freaks out. Or he could have found it fun for a minute but then realizes he is up high and trapped and doesn’t like it…[Read more]

Thank you for your well wishes! And yes, the miconazole the vet prescribed is a cream.

For pre care: He should eat right uptil you drop him off at the vet. No fasting for rabbits! It good if you pack him a little “lunch bag” with stuff he likes for when he wakes up post surgery. Fragrant herbs, hay, pellets, small piece of fruit -he can pretty much have anything he likes.

Ask the vet for a painkiller -some wont give one but others…[Read more]

It can be hard to pinpoint the cause of fur loss, but that doesn’t mean it cannot be overcome! I hope the ringworm treatment is successful! In my experience, ringworm tends to “run”, so the bald patch will get bigger, but then some fur might grow in as the patch moves about.

Is miconazole a cream? I am familiar with itraconazole and clotrimazole…[Read more]

Also do you guys have any tips for preparing my bunny for neutering / post-care? I have done a lot of research on it already but I want to make sure that my bun gets the best care. Luckily, he is scheduled to come home with us for the night. 🙂

Have any tips on pre-care and post-care for neutering?

Any tips are appreciated, thanks!! 🙂

Thank you for the kind tips! My rabbit has tons of chew toys and stuff as well as a cardboard house, but he also started chewing on the side of his litter box, so I had to cut down the middle of some cardboard tubes and cover up the edges. He is a pretty reckless teen! Haha.

What would you recommend for litter training him?

Neutering will make it quite a bit easier to littertrain him. Rabbits mark their territory with both pee and poop. The urge to mark territory is stronger in intact rabbits, because it is important for reproduction. Even neutered rabbits will still mark territory if there are other rabbits nearby. It is an i.portantmeans of communication between…[Read more]

I’m sorry her sister died. It’s heartbreaking that she nudged her to wake her up 😌Sometimes vets prescribe antibiotics as a general quick fix for just about everything. It won’t cure everything though, and there are certain types of antibiotics rabbits don’t tolerate. Medirabbit has a list of bunny safe antibiotics, if you’re ever in…[Read more]

I’m sorry Bam I hadn’t seen your last post until now, fingers crossed the Pro-c helps then. That hadn’t crossed my mind that it could be something else and won’t know what to do if the vet isn’t see any patients. Totally agree on how stressful it is I’ve been keeping a close eye on her since she lost her sister she seemed to of be being her n…[Read more]

Thank you so much!

I will keep that in mind. 🙂

Ouch! I know how hard 50/50 litter box skills can be! 😆

Yes, neutering should help with this, but it won’t be an instant miracle, it will only allow you to train him to use the litter box! 😆 There is a very helpful website in the RABBIT INFO that helps with this! 😀

Wishing you luck! 😀

Hi again sorry about all the questions but can someone please advise me how much and how often I should be giving cc to Pip please, now she’s stopped eating her greens etc I was thinking she should have more ? Just had a successful feed with cc and fluids and she seems to be a bit more settled with me doing it now and proper munched up the c…[Read more]

Just got back from the vet, but she did not know what it is 🙁 They did a deep skin scrape and tape prep cytology, all tests came back negative. They took a sample to test for ringworm and will hear back in two weeks. Starting to treat for ringworm (miconazole) and recheck in a week.

I know a person who used the PRO-C probiotics for her bun when he had been injured and needed nursing back to health. It has brewer’s yeast, which occurs naturally in the healthy rabbit gut. You can mix it with the CC.

There could be something wrong with her that the gut stasis is only a symptom of. The stasis is however what needs to be adressed…[Read more]

Fixed rabbits can definitely still pee and poop outside the litter box, especially on couches and beds, which are attractive places for them to mark. Wait it out, and if it doesn’t improve, you may need to forbid him from being on the couch for long periods of time. Or put a litter box up there.

The probiotics I have are called: PRO-C probiotic for rabbits….Brand: VETARC It says on the tub ‘friendly bacteria with vitamin c and dextrose for digestive support’

it’s time for her next cc. I hate upsetting her and long for the meds to arrive tomorrow. not been much change in her this afternoon 😔 I’m beginning to lose hope she’s lost so m…[Read more]
