Rabbit medicine has advanced significantly since the 1960s. Prior to that rabbits were not really kept as house pets, and lived fairly short lives when they were.  Dogs and rabbits are very different animals as well. Rabbits evolved to reproduce rapidly and early, and not to live long lives, as they are typically killed by a predator fairly young…[Read more]

I just thought of another question related to this: Is there anything I can do to help stop Buddy from dragging or flicking poop out of his litter box when he jumps out?

@DanaNM

I everyday think whether she forgave me or not , now I realized that I should forgive myself and to get rid of this guilty. I know she will stay in my heart forever and I don’t want to ignore those happy moments spent with her , she left me memories worth lifetime. I always preserve them in my heart forever .

Thanks for these loving…[Read more]

So sorry for your lose , I’m too still in the pain of losing a loving pet from past 1.5month . I’m also struggling to come out of this pain & trying to forgive myself, I can imagine what you’re through right now.

Don’t take this guilt too long up on you, I know it isn’t easy but come out of this for those 2 lovely buns who need more care from you…[Read more]

Awesome! Thank you all so much for your help!

I am definitely letting him out in a decent size part of the basement so he can just run and do whatever he wants (I boarded up every wall with cardboard and I watch him pretty closely). 🙂

Thank you for the cleaning recommendation. I didn’t really think to much about cleaning the whole water…[Read more]

Can I use the antibiotics in parallel with Panacur?

Okay thank you so much @Wick !

That seems like a small amount that wouldn’t hurt her. Rabbits tend to get a little bit of everything unfortunately, haha. Just make sure she is eating hay, energetic, and pooping and peeing as usual for the next 24 hours.

Mine are so hard to grab! Squirmy little guys. That’s why I hate doing it cause I don’t want to hurt them or make them mad.

LOL it’s cute though. I cover the walls of the pen of the other bunny with blankets when one bunny is out. They both keep lifting up the blankets to see the other bunny. It’s funny they just want to say hi but I don’t allow it! They’ve been more determined with this since I started bonding sessions.

He went in there so casually… I was startin…[Read more]

Couldn’t agree more with all these replies, particularly @jerseygirl. It was a perfectly normal act or love and care to take your sweet girl for a health check up. I lost my lovely little boy on Saturday night – it’s horrible. Wish they could live forever. My heart truly goes out to you <3

Was she building her nest on the day she got stasis? If she was having a false pregnancy, it’s possible she stopped eating just like an actual pregnant rabbit would a day before they give birth. It’s the hormones released that bring on the labor.

Do you recall what was going on with her with her previous bout of stasis?

”If Bromelain and Papai…[Read more]

If Bromelain and Papain are bad, why are they in Oxbow’s Critical Care, which is always the no.1 recommendation for GI stasis recovery ?

They have unlimited water in 2 large stainless steel dog bowls, changed twice a day and unlimited Timothy hay in 2 self-made hoppers attached to 2 large litter boxes, takes them about 3-4 months to go through a…[Read more]

I just wanted to add, if it is EC causing the seizures, it can take a while to see reduction of symptoms sometimes. The meds reduce the EC load in the body, but then the lesions it causes on the brain need time to heal. So sometimes, owners will see the most improvement happen after or near the end of the course of medication. That said, some have…[Read more]
