I agree, you will need your vet to write a prescription.

Have you considered trying a different brand pellet and/or hay? When I first brought my bunny home, I picked up some pellets from the store (didn’t know what he was previously on). He did not like them! I tried different ones and he loves them.

Would it work to order from Amazon? What about just telling the vet you want to use selamectin instead of ivermectin and asking them to write you a prescription? They may not be rabbit savvy, but a quick Google search would show them that Revolution is safe for rabbits.

I usually had to give a day notice to the vet when requesting a refill. I am happy to hear the vet was able to clean things up. Hopefully it will heal up OK.

You’re very welcome! Happy to help and keep us posted! 🙂

Okay will do thank you!

When it comes to med refills/questions, I always recommend giving the vet a call ahead of time clarify, in case they weren’t aware you didn’t walk away with another supply (you wouldn’t want a gap day or two as they fill it!)

Thank you so much i will try that! Hopefully so he can atleast let the cream do its job for a bit. I’m really hoping it will heal until he wants to see him again in 2weeks. Yes, i have been giving some pain meds from his dental visit the first time when i noticed he had this problem but it is running low and i did tell the vet but he never gave me…[Read more]

I’m glad you got him seen and the cysts cleaned out. If you got oral antibiotics for him, the foot might heal even without the silver sulfadine cream. Bandaging is always a problem with buns, they tend to remove any kind of bandage we try to put on. You can make an E-collar from a paper saucer and electrical tape and keep it on for an hour or two…[Read more]

i appreciate the reply! i am away from my computer right now so i can’t articulate a nice big reply, but i’ll touch on the main points.

i’ve definitely got space in the bathroom to turn that into a neutral space, i can’t believe i didn’t even consider that! that’s wonderful advice. and i’ll take some extra time to let Archie settle in, i’ve…[Read more]

Mounting in early stages is very normal, I wouldn’t be too alarmed. Those actually sound like promising and very normal early sessions. The fact that there is no aggression is very good. Also try your hardest not to be emotionally involved or projecting on to them. I do think you started sessions to early. I would give your new bun at least a…[Read more]

regarding full separation, it depends on how bad the fighting has been. If one bun was actually injured than full separation for several weeks could be a good idea.

I do think trying a friend’s house could be a good plan. If you are still seeing the same aggression there than I think that’s an indication that this pairing is just not a good match.

I want to Thank you so much to those who commented.

Update: took thumper to the vet and he said it wasnt sore hock that it seems to be more of a cysts. He asked to leave him there for few hours to look at it and clean it out then he also did his dental trim and when i had my fiancée pick him up he only gave antibiotics meds and a silver sulfa…[Read more]
