Thank you so much for the detailed feedback. There is much information on food but I’ve hardly found information on water intake.

Since I’ve put out the bowl of water they’ve had lots to drink. I’m so relieved. Thank you!!

He is taken to a rabbit specialist and I have kept in close contact with the shelter manager. I am now a bit concerned for my girls. Hopefully my vet gets back to me. I am willing to try anything to get him better.

Thank you for your reply! 🙂 They are all one year old. One of my friends suggested that is could be a pulled muscle? Could this have happened during a binky? I also notice, that one leg sticks out more than the other. I don’t know which is the normal one, for one sticks out, and the other is smooth so you can’t see the hump for the leg. Is it…[Read more]

Thanks for the list! Those are all antibiotics, and benebac is a probiotic to counter the effects of antibiotics on the gut. Antibiotics would be the correct treatment for a UTI, but since the vet has tried 3 different antibiotics, and none of them have worked it’s worth considering if it’s actually a different issue.

It doesn’t look like he has…[Read more]

Griff was first given SMZ TMP for 10 days. Enrofloxacian for 14 days and than a second round for 21 days. Finally he was give Orbax for 28 days. Bene-bac was also given with the meds.

I emailed my vet to see if he was ever tested for e. cuniculi. But I know we never talked about that specifically.

Has he been checked or treated for EC (e. cuniculi)? EC is a parasite that many rabbits are born with, and can often cause, among other things (such as head tilt), kidney problems which show up as excessive peeing, lack of control over where they pee, drinking excessively, and a constantly damp bum and legs.

The problem with EC tests is that they…[Read more]

I’ve been wanting to swap pens as well to see if that may also help with getting use to eachothers smells but patches would probably try to hop out of velvets pen. Right now I have a sheet over her pen and she doesnt attempt to jump out. I bought some thinner pieces of wood to put between patches pen and one of the boys pen (remember i swap…[Read more]

I just finished the 1st session. It didnt go horrible. While velvet is under the basket she is still trying to nip if the others come close. But when velvet is out and the others are in the basket she only attempted to nip 1 time. I also did an additional 10 min with me just sitting with velvet while the others ran around. And I was very proud of…[Read more]

I’m so glad you got it out! Thank goodness it didnt get really serious.

This can actually happen with most types of hay, and it often needs veterinary attention. Its sth to keep in mind if a rabbit suddenly get a upper respiratory issue. Hay can also make its way into the eyes, get stuck and cause significant trouble.

So. What im just started trying. Because I really don’t want to go through a spell of stasis again. Im really afraid of it happening again. Is i have velvet under a lundry basket where she can see the buns through (and possible nip, but i move the basket before she is able to) and constantly giving her treat for ignoring or even to distract her…[Read more]

Haha no problem, @Bam you know how mad I am for making rabbit gardens 😆

Please DM me if you cant add pics, I can post them for you if nothing else works.

Currently pics need to be added to your profile images. Once they are there, you can go to the forum post where you want them to show, edit your post and and insert the pics via Add Media. You can then remove them from your profile, if you want to. This works for…[Read more]

Rabbits can overheat when it gets over 80F, so if you can’t bring them in you should plan to cool them down somehow. Frozen bottles and tiles work well, but with bunnies that young I agree they should be inside.

Are they neutered?

There is a bonding template pinned in this section, if you fill it out and paste it in your reply that will help us troubleshoot. 🙂

Thank you dove ❤️ that is so very sweet of you

We went to a different vet (again!) And he said that it looked like it was an abscess, maybe not fully formed but now it’s gone, he even took an x-ray and said the abscess is drained already, does that happen? Does an abscess ever get drained itself?

She was on antibiotics for 8 days, enroflaxacin…[Read more]

Is it just chasing at this point? No biting or nipping?

That’s great! Hopefully this means the antibiotic is reaching its intended target. It makes sense since this particular one is supposed to penetrate bone. You’ll have to keep us updated on whether or not the abscess reduces over time.
