Do you have an “insert image” icon? It looks like a mountain with a sun above it.

I’m glad you will be able to get a CT scan for a lot less. That will make it easier for you to decide what you want to do. I’m sorry if what I said earlier didn’t come off the right way. I only meant that sometimes these expensive tests and procedures aren’t worth it because they don’t change the outcome. If the treatment is the same regardless,…[Read more]

Me too, Thank you <3

I’m glad to hear he is doing better. Keep us updated!

I’m glad you got him in and he’s getting treatment!

That is excellent news about the CT scan, I hope you can get it soon and it gives you some more answers!

It’s definitely possible, the only other condition I know of off of the top of my head that would cause excessive peeing and drinking would be e. cuniculi but it doesn’t sound like this was the case with your bun, I’ve also done some reading about vitamin d deficiency and not getting enough calcium, as I’m currently trying to get more sun for my…[Read more]

I’m glad you took him in! Fingers crossed he’ll be back to his true self tomorrow! Gas can be very painful for a rabbit, and they are as a species very sensitive to pain.

Hi, so we’ve been to the vet and he had an x-ray done. He just had a bit of gas and some blockage which they’re putting him on meds for. He’s also being syringe fed and they said it would be best to keep him for the night. So he’s all ok, he’s at the vet and I’m going to go fetch him tomorrow morning. But thank you for everyone who read this, and…[Read more]

I have a picture to show what I’m talking about but I don’t know how to attach it

Funny you mention that about the calcium, because he also drank and urinated A LOT, so it’s possible something was going on with his kidneys. We never looked into that though because we thought the drinking was likely to sooth the pain from his teeth. But perhaps there was something wrong with his kidneys and calcium absorption. In any case he was…[Read more]

Thank you, I’m just trying so hard to think outside of the box here and yet remain ahead of the game at the same time, there’s no way I’d put Budja’s through any kind of extensive surgery when it comes to bone I know that much, I cannot imagine putting a little bunny through that, your right though that is a good thing to be asking my vet, I’m…[Read more]

Oh dear, I’m so sorry 🙁

I don’t have any knowledge about lysis or osteomyelitis. I do think that if you are committed to “knowing for sure” , then a CT would be the way to go. But, it would be worth having the discussion with the vet about how the treatment would change with each different result. If there is no treatment for the things you are…[Read more]

How is he doing this morning?

The bump around the little fan-like hairtufts can’t be pulled out, the bump is part of the hair follicle. What you (sometimes) can pull out is the hairtuft with its little keratin plug, when its starting to come loose during shedding.

It’s of course always safest to see a vet!

In the picture the bump doesnt seem red or irritated, that’s good.

I managed to find a hot water bottle and I lay it next to him but he didn’t seem to move much, he’s not shivering at all but he’s gone to sit under my bed rather than next to me, so I’ve just put his water next to him and the hot water bottle. He seems tired and he’s not moving around too much and hasn’t been for a while, but he’s just gotten up…[Read more]

I put my hand over his ears which he didn’t seem to mind for a while but he isn’t as cold and he’s been drinking water in little sips but consistently. He isn’t eating yet but he’s shifting around s little less. His breathing is still pretty rapid but it’s a little more calm than before. He has been grooming his chest after drinking water…[Read more]

Yeah that’s what I had thought about Azithromycin which is why I had really pushed to get her back on it in the beginning, what is weirder yet though, is that these changes in her jaw started to developed after abscess had burst on its own and it had been drained (but the capsule was not removed) the vet told me today that according to the x-ray…[Read more]
