Both a spay and neuter are functionally the same (i.e. stop the ability to reproduce), but operation-wise, they are not the same. Neuters are much more straight-forward and much less invasive than a spay, so it’s not surprising that Clide is feeling better sooner.

The main factors I’d keep in mind are: monitoring the rabbit him/herself irritating…[Read more]

I would definitely watch, her. Snickerdoodle would have choking episodes and it baffled the vets for a long time. It turns out Snickerdoodle has laryngeal paralysis (confirmed by endoscopy). Apparently he is not the only one the vet told me they have had at least one other rabbit come in with the same problem. As long as it is a one off, I would…[Read more]

I would personally wait 10 days, for that is how long it takes them to heal, but that could just be me being an overprotective bun mom. 😉 One thing I would keep an eye on though, is if they are picking on their incision. Mine girls did, and I, unfortunately, had to put the pet cones (collar of shame) on them. You said though that someone is…[Read more]

Step 1:

This is it. This the only step.

So George has chronic runny nose issues. It definitely get worse when he is shedding. He has been on antibiotics several times but it repeatedly comes back. Right now he is off antibiotics, and he gets nebulized twice a day with acetylcysteine and saline. The vets think it is caused by allergies and he is just prone to nasal discharge, probably…[Read more]

Just adding from my past post, last evening I noticed it’s more so starting to push her from her shoulder blade/side of face than just the side of her face.

That’s so great to hear, I’m glad it seems to be helping! 🙂

I know it’s so hard to find information about dosage, I have the same problem. Different animals process medications at different speeds as well. I started out with what other ferret owners had success with, and tweaked it from there. I’ve seen much the same results as you, he eats a l…[Read more]

Oh good, I’m glad you were able to go back. I’m sorry it didn’t give more answers though. Perhaps it’s lymph nodes you can feel? Or was the vet of the opinion that it is abscesses also?

I guess i do understand them saying go continue with antibiotics because surgery for her right now might be too risky at the moment?

Regarding feeding, have yo…[Read more]

I actually did revist the vet, but nothing substantial came of it, he said to continue with the antibiotic for now. Maybe it’s just me but this seems very worrisome to me, in humans when there is an infection in the body, it spreads into tiny nodules, which are known as satellite nodules, which is what I think this is too. I’ve found a vet who…[Read more]

I encourage you to revisit with the vet with this new symptom. It might help them put together a picture of what is going on.

I was able to contact a forum member that was active here some years ago. They live in your region. I’ll send you a message on here to give some contact details.

Sending {{{vibes}}} for you dear bunny.

You can still start by rinsing with saline. Do one eye at a time and don’t use the same tissue or compress to collect the rinsed out goo with.

White discharge suggests something is going on in there. You may need an antibiotic.

Nothing has lead to a fight at all. I think that I will block off the room with carpet when I am gone and at night because they are less active in the hallway. What can I do about her fear of zoomies? I don’t it to start a fight, but I don’t know how to get her used to it. My first thought was to give her treats as he runs around. Does that sound…[Read more]
