He asked his stuffed animal to lick him not the other way around, right? 😉 Smokey’s just a licker, she must have so much to spare, that she’ll give me a few… 😆 I’m sure you both have a great bond. 🙂 (It kind of takes away the pleasure though when I found out exactly what they were eating in the litter box though, haha, glad she doesn’t d…[Read more]

If it makes you feel any better, Oscar has literally never given me kisses. 😥

I agree with Bam. Although not ideal, he should be fine eating timothy-based pellets and grass hay. He should be allowed to eat as much as he wants though (within reason, of course).

Have you been tested for allergies? They break it down by grass types. If you’re allergic to “grass”, it doesn’t necessarily mean you are allergic to all grass. Timothy seems to be the more common allergen out of the grass hays. People who are allergic to timothy often have better luck with orchard or oat.

I’m sorry to hear that Bladesmith. I was hoping Dawn would be doing better. Bacterial infections can cause seizures. My understanding was it was a less common cause. What was the vet basing this off of? Does she have other symptoms? It’s strange for them to treat for a bacterial infection as a precaution, but not treat for EC as a precaution. You…[Read more]

Oh also if anyone knows where to find a big litter box or bin that would be great. I looked at stores in my town for storage bins but none were wide enough for Muffin. There were long ones but not the best width. I want him to be able to sit horizontally and vertically, since that’s what he always does but he stands halfway in a lot… Thank you.

My apologies for the lack of updates; things have been uneventful, overall. Hunny continues to eat chopped greens, sometimes with pieces of carrot mixed in. She has good days and bad days, which means life is an emotional rollercoaster, but I’d say she’s stable, which is a good thing. My concern these past two days has been Hunny’s lack of poops;…[Read more]

Hazel: LOL. Yes, at least they don’t completely ignore me… 😆 *Sigh* I’m going to have to make a bonding thread of all four of us. Smokey will occasionally lick me, but she licks her hippo stuffed animal more. 🙄

Very nice and helpful! I continue to try this but have yet to find a mesh that has the right size holes! Another nice tip to keep from blinding your eyes is that my rescue’s main nail trimmer actually uses a cheap key-chain light as the quick-checker. Since the light is small and concentrated, it’s not as hugely distracting or leaves sun spots for…[Read more]

@Hazel, that’s the plan.  Another day or two of meds, then he’ll start her on the anti seizure stuff if need be.   It won’t be good for her liver, but she’s already 7 years old, which, I’m given to understand is approaching old lady status for a Dwarf.  She deserves to have the best life possible for as long as she has left.

prince dorian the bun: Well I’m glad they made up, although I did really want that bonding thread… 😉  I agree with HipHop, we need a video so we can pretend we’re petting Dorian. Maybe we can turn it into some kind of VR thing. We’d be RICH! 😆

HipHop: Pity snuggles are better than no snuggles right? 😆

I agree with Wick. Hay is needed to wear down the teeth and to keep the digestive system working. Rabbits are supposed to graze on hay all day because their digestive tract will shut down if it doesn’t have food moving through it constantly. Eating hay all day doesn’t cause a weight issue because it doesn’t have much nutritional value, but you…[Read more]

Oh no, I’m sorry, poor Dawn  🙁

So the vet is hoping it’s caused by some kind of infection that the Baytril is supposed to take care of? If that doesn’t work, would he prescribe her an actual anti seizure medication?

Hazel, I jinxed her.  She had another last night.  But, she’s still on regimine, and the time between is increasing.  So I’m hopeful.  Regardless, if nothing works, as long as she has a quality of life, I’m not taking drastic measures.  Last night, after her seizure, she was booping around the house, doing her tiny binks (They’re not big enou…[Read more]

Hmm… without a proper diagnosis, it’s hard to know what is causing the wheezing. It could be an infection, like pneumonia. This would require antibiotics. While pneumonia is serious, there are also much more sinister things that could cause the wheezing. How old is she? Do you have any idea? If she is unspayed, then something to consider would…[Read more]

I’ve never heard of a bunny nose being so dry it bleeds. Their noses tend to be slightly damp to the touch because of condensation from their breath.

I am really unsure. One of the major benefits of hay is the “saw blade” texture of it, which really aids in maintaining their dental health since their teeth never stop growing. Pellets do not cause that same amount of wear to happen, especially since it’s not something the rabbit is grazing on all day necessarily. Timothy grass should be the same…[Read more]

Oh, Dorian looks so soft in that photo! You have to take a video of you petting him so that I can imagine that hand being mine. I’m glad that he gave in and forgave the elephant. Ditto what Hazel said, he saved you the work of a bonding thread! LOL 😆

Metacam can be a bit hard on the tummy. My bun gets meloxicam (the active ingredient in Metacam) every day, together with ranitidine to counteract the effects the meloxicam can have on the stomach.
