I agree with Bam that supportive care can go along way. Do his ears feel cold? Do you have any past pain meds you can give him?  How is he doing now?

It’s a little hard to tell from the picture but they don’t appear to be red?

Were they covered by a flap of fur? If so that’s more of a callus, so I would just keep an eye on it and try to make her flooring softer.

The total travel time isn’t terrible so that’s good. I wouldn’t worry about letting them exercise, the more important thing is creating a calm enough space that they eat during the layover. You should also have a plan for if you get delayed (such as a cancelled connection). They will likely be ok in the same carrier, but do you have a back-up plan…[Read more]

Sometimes bunnies just decide this is a very fun thing to do. Giving her a digging box is a nice idea, and adding a litter box screen should also help with the digging.

Are they 100% sure she doesnt have a molar problem? Drooling and weight loss could indicate she is having enough trouble chewing that she is losing weight. It can be hard to see the back molars without anesthesia or x-rays.

I agree that increasing pellets amounts slightly or adding critical care (or a similar product) to be sure she’s getting…[Read more]
