If the carrier can’t be in the pen with them permanently, I would put it in there during meal times and feed them in the carrier. That way they will get used to going in and make a positive association with it.

How is Hunny doing now?

I always catch her sleeping like that 🙂 I think she dreams a lot too because I see her galluping in her sleep like maybe she’s dreaming about running around the living room or perhaps dreaming of running in a hay field. Who knows lol.

E cuniculi can manifest in several ways. The most well-known symptom is head tilt, but that doesnt mean there will always be a tilted head. E cuniculi will not affect the ears, but rather the balance organs deep within the ears. Those cant be seen with an otoscope.

A differential diagnosis to e cuniculi is a middle ear infection. That can in…[Read more]

I’m glad that you have new buns, new love. 🙂 I have new rabbits as well, they make me smile every day. 😀 I hear you though, I worry about them constantly, thankfully though, the bulk of that worry has subsided with time.

Take a deep breath, feel your stomach go out, now let out the air, and feel your stomach go in. Count to 5 with each…[Read more]

I don’t like trapping my poor Muffin but he won’t even eat a pellet off the edge of the carrier. ):

I now have 2 buns , time passes with them but there comes the time everyday where I miss her . Now whenever any of these 2 buns gets sick or inactive I get scared thinking something bad will happen,  i always try to calm byself but still that sorrowness don’t leave .

I will try to always remember her good happy times with me , I can atleast…[Read more]

He is all good from morning , when I reached home and sat near him , he wanted to come in my lap but again he slightly lose his balance,  i think its his hind legs he is unable to balance. May be its coz he will take time to recover.

If this is e cuniculi ,shouldn’t his ears have infected ? But they are all good .

I hear you on that, sometimes it was hard for me too, to think of my beloved bun without tear shed. 😥 But getting a good cry out helped me a lot in the past. I would scream my agony to the stars, and when it was all out, I just sat there and went into deep thinking. I thought about if my lost one would want to see me like this, or where they…[Read more]

It sounds like a good plan! One of the shots could perhaps have been fluids to rehydrate him? They often add vitamin b complex to the fluid they give sub q, to help perk the bun up.

Fingers very much crossed this will not happen again! It seems he is being very well cared for.

The vet gave him 2 shots & prescribed polybion syrup ( vitamin B Complex) .

He always keeps running from one room to other room , climbs chairs & sofa all the time. I didn’t notice him getting hit by anything . Whenever he refuses to drink water , I syringe feed him.

I’ll observe him till tomorrow & if that happens again I’ll take him to vet &…[Read more]

This could have been an isolated episide, that he recovered from spontaneously, or it could have been  something the vet did that made him better. Did the vet give him subcutaneous fluids? Any shot of any kind? Could your bun have hit its head playing and thus suffered a minor concussion?

The Floppy Bunny Syndrome is not very well understood,…[Read more]

His appetite is normal from last night , after coming from vet he is okayish after an hour and is back to normal him from today morning.

Till now I didn’t notice any change in his weight, I’ll weigh him weekly from now on . I feed him boltz pellets which are available for me here .

Please suggest what should I do if he falls again like…[Read more]

I’m glad he is steadier now! His diet sounds fine. Rabbit pellets as a rule have vitamin D3 added, vitamin deficiency is not common in rabbits that get both pellets and hay. Vitamin E deficiency has been suggested as a cause of Floppy Bunny Syndrome, a rare condition that causes the bun to lose all muscle tone.

I think you need to keep an eye,…[Read more]

He fell down when he was walking & looking up to reach chairs & sofa.  From morning he is steady . He got shots yesterday. It appeared like he was unable to control his limbs.

His diet is Zupreem Timothy hay , fresh grass , small amount of green vegetables & parsley , pellets in the morning and a treat in the evening. And water available all the…

How did he fall down? Was he losing his balance, did he seem like he had trouble controlling his limbs? Is he steady on his legs now?

There is an intracellular parasite called e cuniculi that can cause balance issues in rabbits.

This is a house rabbit forum, so most of the buns here live indoors. What is his diet like?
