Hi guys, thank you both for your helpful comments and suggestions. I think you are probably right, and a ER vet will not be much help, as he is eating/drinking normal, pooping normal and behaving like his usual self, I’ll wait until Monday when I can take him to my usual, rabbit specialist vet .

He still wants to be around me and is en…[Read more]

Hmm… this doesn’t look normal. As Bam said, this looks like nystagmus. We are not vets, so we can’t give medical advice. That being said, I don’t know how much an emergency vet will be able to help. They generally just provide supportive care and then refer you to your regular vet for follow-up. Will he be OK for a couple of days and not get…[Read more]

I’m not 100% sure what I’m seeing, but it could be “tracking” ie nystagmus, if he’s moving his head from side to side, quicker to one side and slower on the way back. Sometimes you see the white of the eyes while its going on. Is he doing this head rolling pretty much all the time or just occasionally?

There are two major (msjor as in most…[Read more]

Wasn’t even a cat scuffle, my cats are dumb as hell sometimes and think flat things are solid when they are infact not.

Consistently isn’t a issue, unless I don’t have the energy or I’m away, bonding will happen in one shape or form.

Rabbit relationship dynamics, like human children, can be confusing. Consistency is key in bonding, so take the small victory and hope for the best moving forward! The cat scuffle definitely makes sense as something to muck up progress, so just keep moving forward and stay diligent.

With the strangest development honestly I don’t even know.  These rabbits are confusing me.  😫

I placed them in a slightly larger area for bonding tonight.  Usually it’s a scuffle but this time it was just a lunge and a small chase and a spray.  No issue.

Added a litter box and usually this is a fight but nothing happened.  If anyt…[Read more]

I agree, this all sounds very hormonal. And yes, they can definitely have “mood swings”.

It sounds like whatever was going on is working itself through! I’ve been in that situation before concerning the vet and it is awful. Bam gave great advice on supportive care, warmth is very important.

It could be either gas, a partial fur blockage, or cecal dysbiosis (or a combo) given the mushy poops. Cecal dysbiosis can cause gas and be very…[Read more]

Thank you for all the help! I deeply appreciate it.

Thought I’d give a small update: he’s eating more hay and when I push him to move every twenty-ish minutes, he has more of his leftover veggies from earlier in the day. Appetite is nowhere near normal for him, but it’s noticeably improving.

His poops have also gone from soft, mushy, near liquid…[Read more]

(As you know, we can’t diagnose rabbits here because we are not vets).

This said, if a vet visit is out of the question, I’d try the following things that I do for gas pain:

Simethicone baby gas drops, if you have that. You can give 0.5-1 ml per hour for two or three hours.

Metacam (meloxicam) is very good, since you seem to have that, because…[Read more]

I agree, a large dog crate isn’t big enough for one rabbit, let alone a pair. They are likely fine during the day because they are sleepy and are more active at night. There is some info here on house rabbit housing: https://binkybunny.com/infocategory/house-rabbit-habitats/

Simply adding an x-pen to your dog crate would make it a lot more…[Read more]

Okay thank you 😊
