I’m so sorry for your loss. 🙁
I agree with others that he was quite sick… things can start to cascade quickly. You did amazing with him so I hope you don’t beat yourself up.
If your girl starts to show signs of depression I agree with fostering can be very helpful. I fostered after my Bertha passed. I wasn’t ready to adopt another bun at that…[Read more]

Not personally, but there has been more than one case on the forum. It wouldn’t hurt to check into it, even if it is just to rule it out.

We can of course never know if those two weeks made a big difference for the outcome, but I wouldve been wondering too, and I’m sorry you have to live with that. The saline probably gave him some relief though and it could have prolonged his life.
As for your other bun, try to spend as much time with her as you can. She needs you now that her…[Read more]

Bam replied to the topic Saline Inhaler Safe? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 2 years, 12 months ago
Nebulizers can be used for bunnies with respiratory issues. One of our members used F10 antiseptic in a nebulizer for her chronic snuffles bun. (This was in the UK). Saline can be used too. Some antibiotics can be nebulized.
Rabbits can have N-acetylcystein, which helps make mucus less thick. I have only administered this orally.
One of my buns…[Read more]

Hey guys! I’ve got a rabbit that unfortunately has a respitory infection that I’ve been treating with antibiotics for 2 weeks now. Unfortunately, his breathing is incredibly labored and he constantly makes noises while breathing. I want to help him out, but I’m not sure what the best option is. Do you guys have any tips? I definitely don’t want to…[Read more]

It certainly could! Have you dealt with adrenal disease in animals before? Or seen any instances like this?

Thank you guys also for your advice throughout all this. I do feel like we would have had a different outcome had we not been left waiting so long for CT results. He had 2 weeks with no treatment (I was nebulising him myself with pure saline) and I’ll forever wonder if they acted sooner, they could have saved him. His heart just gave out in the e…[Read more]

Considering her age, could it be a hormone imbalance? Adrenal disease can cause erratic/hormonal behavior in spayed/neutered rabbits.

I’m so sorry. I agree with Bam. He was very sick and fought hard, but it was just too much.

My 9 year old bun has been dealing with a bad infection that is causing severe swelling in his hind leg. We are looking at amputation now. Anyone have experience with a hind leg amputation? Any tips or helpful items that you used in your rabbit’s recovery?

We have a 9-year-old Holland Lop who has been the absolute sweetest rabbit since we got her at 4 months old. 2.5 years ago she lost her mate, and shortly after started showing signs of Snuffles (Pasteurella). I know the bacteria lay dormant in most rabbits but can be brought on by traumatic events. Anyway, we’ve been treating her on and off with…[Read more]

I’m very sorry you lost him. I was hoping for a better outcome since you recently saw some improvement. You really did everything you could for him, but he was just too sick. You both fought so bravely.
It is very hard to lose a beloved bun.
Binky free Wolfie 💔
Thank you for the update.

A final update.
my brave boy fought so incredibly hard, but has fought his final battle. I feel he was absolutely failed by vets who simply took too long to treat him.
my previous baby Wolfie. I truly could have not asked for a more kind, gentle & caring soul. I will miss you for eternity my boy. and i will forever ask God why.
