RHG started the topic Guilty over my carelessness in the forum RAINBOW BRIDGE 2 years, 6 months ago
I have had rabbits before on and off since I was a kid. I am in my early thirties now. I also have never been perfect at taking care of them but, have always tried my best. I was given the responsibility recently a few months back to take care of a rabbit named Sweet Pea for my “second parents” as I have been living with them. She was about 6…[Read more]

I’m glad he’s doing better!

Thank you all so much for the input. He is doing much better now. He started eating and drinking early in the morning. Bowels moved and all! I have a vet appointment scheduled. I know washing bunnies is frowned upon and I made sure he was nice and dry and no cold water. My fear was poison was on his fur and he kept cleaning himself so it was only…[Read more]

EC tests can be unreliable so you might inquire about treating for EC anyway. Many vets will treat on suspicion without a test result. The treatment is relatively safe and affordable.

Yeah just with a scope. I have to wait a week for the EC results.
She said if the results come out negative the next step is a CT scan.

My rabbits all love palm plates and grass mats for chewing. Willow and apple sticks (fresh ones!) are also a favorite. It can def take some experimentation to find chews that your bun likes.
As for hides, you could build one out of wood (there are also a lot of “Ikea hacks” using various wooden crates they sell), or you can get a plastic laundry…[Read more]

I would call poison control. They should be able to give you more specific information about the toxicity of the poison you used. I’m looking at the active ingredients for the Zevo ant and roach spray and it looks to be mostly essential oils, which could cause some irritation but it’s very unlikely they would cause a systemic reaction. I agree…[Read more]

I agree, sending good vibes that things will start healing for her now!

Did they just look in the ear using a scope? They wouldn’t be able to see an inner ear infection. Also, Dana suggested EC, which would also no be visible from looking in the ear.

So I took her to the vet yesterday and they said it looks to be just excess skin. They poked it with a needle and no fluids/liquids came out and she didn’t have much of a reaction to it. Looks like things are good for now. Thanks for the extra info!

I have a video but idk how to upload it, i tried but then it goes away. Vet checked her ears and didn’t see any infection.

LBJ10 replied to the topic Rabbit Tipping Over While Walking in the forum BEHAVIOR 2 years, 6 months ago
Yeah, this sounds like more than her simply having issues with getting around. If she falls over while shaking her head, that would suggest something is going on with her ear(s) and it is messing with her equilibrium.

Yes, is there actually a roll of skin under there?

I’m glad to hear things went well. Hopefully this will provide a turning point for Budja.

I imagine it would at least give you an idea of whether their sinus/breathing problems are the result of mucus buildup alone.

Budja’s in is recovery now and is doing good, the surgery went very well, she was under for a couple of hours. She had to have three teeth removed as well as the two abscessed areas on the same side. Some small bone bits around the jaw had to be removed as well. Her gums were sutured, and an antibiotic gel was put in, they said there was…[Read more]

Hey everyone, so from the X-ray that was taken of Budja’s jaw in July to the C-T scan they literally just did on her at Cornell (without contrast) It is showing advanced signs of disease. In her left jawbone, two teeth have pretty much disintegrated, two upper molars on the same side are showing some disease, as well as the upper right side are…[Read more]
