Wow, this thread got super buried! Can’t believe august is almost over! I got the cutest pic tonight and wanted to share!!

I’m so very sorry. As LBJ says, corticosteroids should be used with extreme caution in rabbits. It is used as a last resort in acute cases of e cuniculi or spinal injury etc, in the form of one single injection, not as maintenance treatment. NSAIDs (meloxicam and other non-steroidal ant inflammatory painkillers) must not be given together with…[Read more]

I have no doubt he will forgive you. It depends on the bunny, but they usually come around on their own. I mean, who else is going to give them treats?

She sounds like a normal bunny to me. It certainly isn’t usual for some to be skittish. I agree with the others, you’re doing great working with her. Keep it up and, as Dana said, try playing hard to get. 😉

@LBJ10 Shame on me for forgetting that last name! 😆 Yes, agree, stick around long enough for MANNY to become his official name… 😛

BinkyMom became the crazy bunny lady!

I’m sorry I didn’t see your reply from a couple days ago. To answer your question – Yes. And, unfortunately, your suspicions were correct. Nobody wants to hear their pet has cancer. I’m so sorry. 🙁

Steroids are best avoided in rabbits. However, they are occasionally used for very a short duration to treat certain conditions (i.e. spinal injury, etc.).

@JackRabbit – I don’t know who you could possibly be referring to.

@HipHopBunny – You forgot Pigeon.

Glad to see you guys! You’ll have to stick around and have a few more naming wars. 😉 There are a few other “oldies” floating around here somewhere. I have mostly seen them responding to questions within other sections of the forum.

@HipHopBunny – They aren’t in the emoji menu. You just see other people with them in their posts here and there.

Haha ok! Yes that is true… I’m looking forward to when he can eat more variety of things can I can lure him with treats.

My rabbit was nervous when we had her on laminate flooring an lino. She’s become much more relaxed since we got carpets. Also my rabbit likes to be stroked by my feet. She sits in between my feet regularly and doesn’t have the trust issues of being picked up or mithered woth medication vets etc. She also appreciates nose to nose snuggles and…[Read more]

When my rabbit has mushy poo the rabbit specialist vet I go to reccomend hay and dried foods only for two weeks to return the gut flora to normal. This may not be possible for you due to the gi stasis if your rabbit has a poor appetite. As its more important to keep them eating anything rather than nothing at all.

I couldn’t get any 😢 I definitely will whatever they explore next 😉

I got some dried strawberries to try with Baylor! I hope he likes them! I’ll have to try it and then monitor his poops to make sure he digests them ok.

Sounds like they had fun! 🙂 Tsk Tsk… no pictures, though! *disapproving* 😆

He’ll forgive you, don’t worry! The instances where you’re giving medication are just a few moments compared to the remainder of the day and time you’ll be spending with him. I have personally given one of my rabbits shots (in the back for medication), oral medication, and lathered lotion with a q tip on his face for months on end and he got over…[Read more]
