Oh my, they are ADORABLE together! He has such a sweet squishable face. Potamus does too, of course! And I agree, their names are great together! 😀 How/where did you get him?

It’s possible but nowhere near as common as it is with dogs. Rabbits are prolific pooper so they have things moving through their system all the time. They can also bend right down to eat their cecatroph “poop” and can groom themselves efficiently around the genital region.  We normally refer to the glands on each side of the genital mound as…[Read more]

Can their anal glands get infected like a dog’s?

I have used Bactrim, but not Ditrim, with 2 rabbits. Both got it for respiratory tract infections. Neither of the two developped any bad tummy side effects. Both got well from their airway infections. Treatment duration was 2 weeks.

I gave a probiotic a couple of hours after the Bactrim. Theres no absolute evidence that it helps, but it wont…[Read more]

Mmm.. maybe this page will give an idea of other things to try if current treatment does not resolve this.   ie lufenuron for ring worm / fungal infections, injectable ivermectin for mange.  You’d definitely need the vets advice when it’s suitable to introduce something else, if necessary.

I use Protexin probiotic pellets (with saccaromyces cerevisiae) and Synbiotic D-C (with enterococcus faecium) for my bun.  The Fortiflora for cats and dogs contain enterococcus faecium, which is great, but they also contain meat and meat by -products. My bunny Bam did get a dog probiotic from the vet back in the day, when there were no special…[Read more]

Didn’t have room for last photo in the above post.

Oh yes, calling all the white rabbits!

@Hazel, here is some pics of my “new” boy. Adopted June 2019. He’s 7 yrs old and his name is Pegasus. I had to keep his name because Potamus & Pegasus together is just too silly & cute! 😄

The first 4 pics are from June. Final one is pic from last week, showing off his airplane ears.

He’s been a joy. Ve…[Read more]

Hi everyone – a bit of an update: It’s day 12/14 of the miconazole topical cream, and it seems that his ears have gotten pretty flaky again, and looks like when I first noticed it a few weeks ago. I did apply the Revolution on 4/28 as well.  I am going to call the Vet back today and go ahead a book a follow up appointment so they can see him…[Read more]

That’s quite a while.  You should be in the clear unless he wasnt desexed like they told or something was missed  during the op.

How old is the girl? You’ll probably have to keep them separated until after she has had her spay.

oh, thanks!!! for some reason i’d never thought of trying puzzle toys but i’ve been meaning to buy him more things so i’ll definitely look into that! as well as the baby cups and the keys. really good advice, thanks!

Jersey girl thanks for replying. The nest is in their room in one of their little houses so it’s fine where it is. I will leave it there for now. I’m glad it’s not going to hurt her if it is a false pregnancy. And I got him in November so they have been together for a while.

No problem!  I did it in MS Paint as Im on laptop but there are lots of apps that it can be done on.

Looks like I made it a teeny bit short. This one might be better.

We’ve had Gina nearly five years and its only recently she’s shown any signs of mellowing towards any human…

Snow!!! What it been like getting reacquainted with the weather further north?

I dont think Im ever going to get over Loki and Dawn together. So friggin cute!

Thanks Dface (and Hi!)

Ive put these memorial posts up together but they didnt pass in close sucession. Goose went last year not long after the forum went offline last year. Ailis passed 3 months ago now. I still feel sad about them on some days, of course.  Hard to let go all those “if only” thoughts.  I did want to honor them here like I have m…[Read more]

Okay, thanks! It’s good to get a baseline of what you see on a normal basis.
