Well more then one scuffle to start with, first few times someone broke through my bunny proofing rooms ( vale ) and got into the fight with the other two resulting in blood and a missing chunk of ear when he was unfixed.

We had some really good progress for a week before my one cat thought my sheet and make shift roof was solid and broke Cid…[Read more]

She is on Cisapride, metoclopramide, and meloxicam. I took her to the vet on October 7th because her appetite has decreased a lot and they noticed her back molars were a bit too sharp so they trimmed it down. But her appetite still hasn’t gotten to her usual self and now I’ve noticed the tipping even when she shakes her head she tips over.

I am…[Read more]

What medication is she on for her mobility?

The combo of reduced mobility and loss of balance sounds like it could be EC. Loss of balance can also be due to ear infection.

Sorry I’m a bit unsure of your question, I had trouble reading your initial post. From the sound of it you have only been doing bonding a couple weeks and then there was a scuffle due to someone getting out of their pen?

It sounds like maybe things have settled down and they are doing ok in sessions again?

As frustrating as it can be, one month isn’t very long. “Ignoring” them is really the best approach . In other words, “play hard to get”.  Spend time with bun but don’t try to pet her. Hand feeding is great. Clicker training is also great to interact with a bun that isn’t ready for petting yet. It’s very normal for buns to run away with their…[Read more]

Hello again.

Good news, the vet still feels there’s nothing serious at the moment. Their general health is good. Heart, lungs, teeth, temperature all fine. Possibly a seasonal issue that will clear upz although I’m not convinced by that. Just going with Metacam for now rather than more antibiotics.

Bad news, I’ve been quoted £1,040 for a…[Read more]

Are you sure it’s skin and not molting fur? Sometimes buns get a very unusual looking molt line. From the picture it looks like it could be a molt line but it’s hard to tell.

My other thought is it could be an abscess or some sort of growth, which should definitely be seen by a vet

Hello LBJ10.

I was wondering if that was an option, I will look into that. Thanks.

It sounds like she likes you, but it can take some bunnies quite a while to become trusting. Some never fully do. But how I bonded with my rabbits was by sitting on the floor with them and ignoring them. I would just go about my business, playing a phone game or reading a book or something near them and pretending they weren’t there. Eventually…[Read more]

Thanks for mentioning the appetite thing, I don’t think I’ve seen him eat much hay today so I’ll accommodate for that. I will continue the meloxicam too. Thank you both. 🙂 I caught him doing a couple binkies today, actual in the air binkies and not just head binkies, which he hasn’t done in a while. Hopes are still high this will help him.

What about having their sinuses flushed?
