Hi frenchfried, I think your post would get more attention if you start a new thread. With it buried in the replies of this thread it could be hard for people to notice!

I’m very sorry your bun is poorly. 🙁 When my senior started declining I had a lot of success with the product Emeraid Herbivore Sustain. I would recommend trying that or another…[Read more]

Having to do the 2 dose series is annoying, but after their first 2 dose series they only need 1 dose annually, so that’s good.

I have not heard of them until now. It seems they mostly have products for dogs and cats? I would be hesitant to use a product that is marketed for “all animals” because dogs, cats, rabbits, etc all have different digestive systems and metabolisms.

Is there a particular concern you have for your bunny? I had a good experience with the herbal…[Read more]

You could try using some dried herbs as treats? Anything fragrant would be exciting for a bun, and I know dried dandelion is usually very popular.  I know some members have had buns that couldn’t handle fresh greens but did well with dried greens and herbs.

Thank you so much for your information!
I’ve tried so many different healthy treats with my Lionhead and it seems after a 2-3 week course, he gets clumps of Cecotropes for about 4 days.  Even fresh or freeze dried fruit.  However, that may be something I can only give him once a week instead of 1 little piece everyday.  He so loves to come runn…[Read more]

It is nerve wracking to have a poorly bun. I hope this is just some minor upset tummy and that she’ll go back to doing well again soon. Keep a close eye on her poop, maybe clean out her litterbox so you know if she poops.

She’s been doing so good though before today, it’s so nerve wracking for me.

Yes, I just saw it was you, I know your bun is on Panacur for EC. But it’s of course still good to mention that in this thread, there are buns that get Panacur for worms.

She’s on Panacur for EC, i think she’s been on it for 2 weeks now more or less.

okay i will follow your advice.

Panacur isnt toxic so a tiny bit more than her normal dose shouldn’t be a problem. The systomd you’re seeing could perhaps be a side effect of the Panacur though. What is she getting the Panacur for? Has she been on it long?

It sounds like your bun might have an upset tummy. Try to make her move around a bit, that’s the best way to get gas to…[Read more]

Thank you! Yes, I think the fur ripping is what tore off the skin. It might be more than an abrasion, a couple spots definitely took off a layer or more of skin. He’s been licking it and it looks worse and even bleeding a little today, but did spray with a saline solution and see no sign of infection.. and he is acting normal, eating, doing…[Read more]

It isn’t toxic, if that’s what you’re asking. As an additive in food, it’s likely to make up a very small percentage. Therefore, the dose would be extremely low. I don’t know if any data exists for the safety of consuming it in large quantities… at least not for small animals like rabbits. I can’t speak specifically to the herbal drops, but I…[Read more]

I agree. Veggies are not essential. They can do fine on hay and pellets. So if one bunny cannot handle them, then it’s OK to just not feed them at all.

You could always have the vet try to flush it out.

You do need to be careful because sometimes when fur is pulled out violently, it takes the skin with it. Sometimes it’s just to top layer of skin and it looks like an abrasion, other times it is deeper and the underlying tissue is exposed. If it just resembles an abrasion, then I think you’re OK applying ointment and monitoring until Monday. Then…[Read more]

That’s great! Glad it wasn’t anything serious.

Thank you so much for the quick reply. I was thinking the same and got some safe ointment. He actually has a couple more scratches too but they don’t look as bad. And does not look deep, just kinda big and raw so I can’t imagine it would need sutures. I’ll be monitoring closely.

I think as long as you try to keep the sore clean, it will be fine, certainly until Monday in any case. I assume it’s too small to need sutures.

Plain Neosporin (without an added painkiller) is bunny safe. Your bun is very likely to lick off any type of ointment though, if the sore is in a place where he can reach it.

Try to distract him from…[Read more]
