One of my buns used to really go for the cardboard when he was having a GI upset, so I think that’s not uncommon. As long as he’s not eating lots of cardboard it’s ok.

Poops are good!

It does sound like your vet was very thorough. Another thing that can masquerade as GI stasis is liver lobe torsion, but I think your vet would have been able to…[Read more]

Hey, when I first got my rabbit he had an ear infection. It could be an ear infection but do make sure you check with ur vet. 🙂

Thank you for the suggestions. I just rush-ordered the smaller syringes and the Emeraid Herbivore Sustain.

The vet took multiple X-rays but I don’t think any of the teeth were included. I will find out. She used an otoscope to look at his teeth. She is clearly experienced with handling rabbits but I’m sure there are things she cannot see that wou…[Read more]

Yes good point, as long as the windows are closed and you don’t wait till everything is dried to go outside. I had the exterior of my house sprayed with fipronil which is super toxic to rabbits but everything was OK.

Poor baby, it’s good you got him in and they did an xray, and the treatment at the ER likely stabilized him a bit until you could get him to his normal vet. GI issues do seem to pop up during heavy molting.

It can take time for the care to start working, so it was good that the vet reassured you. Keeping him warm and comfortable is…[Read more]

The vet did check his teeth. She said the color of the gums seemed a bit off but didn’t dwell on it. Max has finally laid his head flat down and several times. He has nibbled on one or two pieces of hay but that’s it and he still isn’t drinking water on his own. While he is taking all the prescribed meds, is it absolutely necessary for him to be…[Read more]

Some bunnies can become cage aggressive, even if they aren’t in an actual cage. That being said, her enclosure is way too small. Have you considered a pen or a NIC condo? One where she can come and go on her own without being picked up?

I’ve had several females that were highly “aggressive” with a couple even labeled as such as the shelters with giant warnings. At the end of the day, just observe what exactly is the trigger. Think with a bunny hat, rather than a human hat, and pour as much love and tenderness as possible. Rather than quarantine them away, I quarantine myself…[Read more]

You can use something a little “stronger” as long as it is outside. Like pest control companies will sometimes spray around the perimeter on the exterior of the house. I have had no issues with them doing this.

I assume then they didn’t check his teeth? If things were being pushed up in his chest cavity, then that would have shown on the x-ray. Other than that, I don’t know what else could cause him to position his head weird unless it was a pain response involving his mouth. Dental issues can cause stasis and GI upset.

He tries to lay his chin flat on the ground but he can’t for some reason so he brings his head back up… it almost looks like he can’t breathe the way he is positioned.

i would say the aggression started in June  2023 this was when her bites broke skin and blood would show up. before that she would do nips here and there but it never broke skin like in June.

instead of using a spray bottle what should i do. and that’s day she bit my mom she had just finished showering.

my bunny has the space to get out by he…[Read more]
