Thank you everyone! I think he had scabies, and luckily i found one vet nearby and he got some shots😅
he is fine now but still got some crusts on his lil feet

Wick, she does seem to be shedding fur so I will give her another more thorough brush when she wakes up. She had been excessive grooming when she was in pain the other day. Maybe she was trying to get rid of the fur now I look back. I’ll get on top of that so I can rule it out if it happens again. Thank you so much.

Hi Wick thanks so much for the input, yes she has been going through it at the moment. We’ve been struggling since the 7th..

Do you mean fur can cause long poos or strung together poos?

Her poos aren’t strung together by fur (I’ve seen that before) it’s definitely mucus. Could fur cause the mucus?

Those are really dark poops, what does her diet look like? And what’s the consistency – soft, crumbly, hard etc.?

Do you notify people whose bunny photos are shared?

Hey @HipHopBunny,

She’s one or two years! Past puberty, that’s for sure, and she bore at least one litter before I had her. I hadn’t considered the false pregnancy thing, though – if that becomes an issue, I will definitely consider spaying her. And don’t worry, you didn’t come off as aggressive at all – I appreciate your concern as a more…[Read more]

Did the “fluid” treatments help when they were given?  Does he have any white chalky swirls in his urine?  When he had a urine analysis, do you recall what he was tested for?

I triple ditto the responses.  I had a bunny who had this — My very first actually, but I don’t recall it being on the nose – maybe elsewhere on the face or lips (so long ago).  It’s a very treatable but does have to get treated by a vet.  🙁     The House Rabbit Society has a large vet list — maybe you can find one somewhat near.   I’m sorry y…[Read more]

I’m not that good with breeds but wanted to drop in and say – she is gorgeous, what a beautiful bunny. 🙂 You’ll have to give her lots of pets and cuddles for me!

Hi @Danny

How old is she? Spaying a female rabbit is always a good thing to do, as you said, litter issues, territorial behavior, overall not fun to be around. She may not be showing this now, but once she hits puberty, *dry laugh* they are pretty bad teenagers.

Females also have an 80% chance of uterine cancer, and false pregnancies. Been…[Read more]

I know your rabbit has been going through a lot and I haven’t been able to catch up on the topics, so I’ll offer my typical thought until I get the details!

The most straightforward possiblity when this is seen in a healthy rabbit is that there’s fur encased in the poops. Anything like that seem possible?

Looks like a Flemie/ flemie mix to me. Though he would be small for a flemie I think so I’d guess he might be a mix or still growing.

My cousin’s rabbits are unneutered; two of them became super aggressive (beating on the younger one until he bled unfortunately) but the one was no more grouchy post-puberty than he was before. Only one of them lived inside but good gravy he was a peeing machine! He felt the need to mark EVERYTHING and boy did it stink.

I know this is less…[Read more]

As a thought, could you potentially try fostering a rabbit, or adopting an old rabbit, so that you have that experience but not that ten year commitment? Then if it absolutely does not work out, you can move the rabbit on and/or only have it for a year or two.

The bed is a very soft and scent-latent place, and this is really potent for rabbits who have such a great sense of smell and a lot of their survival instincts are dependent on whether things smell like them or not. There are a lot of rabbits that are litterbox adherent every but the bed it seems. In those cases, having a litter box on the bed may…[Read more]
