Activity

Yes, a whole baby carrot every day is a lot! If you want to give carrot, I would just give him a tiny piece. I’m talking bite-sized. Many people use pellets as rewards, but I understand that might be difficult if he is currently getting unlimited pellets.

Thank you! I will try that but with something else just because he is only like 3-4 months old so he gets as many pellets as he wants. But I do give him daily vegetables so I could give that as a treat rather than just daily food.

And as for the other one I did not mean to do that, it wouldn’t post so I tried again and it worked. I just didn’t…[Read more]

It’s good that you have a painkiller. I don’t think I’d dare do much with this foot until a vet has had a look at it. It does look infected so oral antibiotics are probably needed.

Until Monday, maybe just try to keep his area very clean, empty the litterboxes and renew the litter material.

Carrots have a lot of sugar, so I’d only give small pieces of carrot as treats/rewards. You could save some of his daily pellets and use them as treats or rewards. I often hand feed pellets so my rabbits believe pellets are treats.

For training purposes it’s good to switch between “high value” treats (piece of carrot) and less high value treats (pellets).

Hi yes all the pics are from one foot only. I called the vet and they only have a opening for Monday afternoon. Should i leave it be or put something on it? Also i have some left over pain meds from the dental trim visit i gave him some of that to help him through this weekend.

Thank you, no EC episodes yet. He started eating last night and he is now with his sister. I will hopefully pick them up tomorrow. We are wishing you and Ben  a quick recovery. I know how stressful for both and you and Ben this must be.

That’s great he loves the recovery food! Finding a brand they like is so wonderful and really takes away a lot of the stress of giving it to them. Sounds like he is on the mend!

I agree it looks like there is a puss pocket there. Sometimes they can get poked in the foot by a sharp piece of hay and get an abscess from it.

If he just had bloodwork on Sept 22 I don’t see why he needs it again before his dental trim. Talk to your vet about only doing the essential things.

He had a thorough dental exam in September that I mentioned in a post above, and he has another scheduled for late next month.

No

This is all the same foot? How is the other one? It does look like there is at least one puss pocket under there.
