The nutritional analysis seems OK. I’m not seeing an ingredients list on their website though. I assume it is grass-based.

OK, negative for parasites. That’s good. I mean, it is possible to get a false negative with coccidia but you would think they would have seen something if the bunny was exhibiting symptoms. Anemia can also be caused by…[Read more]

Fortunately she tested negative for diseases and parasites, they made blood and poop tests!

At the time she was having tons of incidents of double poops and nowadays she haven’t made a double one since the treatment.

I feed her pellets from a brazilian brand called “NuTrópica”, it’s nationally recommended to small mammals, i feed her the…[Read more]

Happy July! I was mostly just trying to make sure someone wasn’t freaking out last night from the fireworks.

Hmm… anemia, underweight, unable to gain weight, weird poop… was your bunny tested for diseases or parasites? Coccidia comes to mind. Here is an article on it: http://www.medirabbit.com/EN/GI_diseases/Protozoal_diseases/Cocc_en.htm

Severity of symptoms depends on how many oocytes were ingested.

I had to google Domperidona. It’s a motility…[Read more]

Treats are no problem with healthy buns! Its just poorly buns that shouldnt have sugary stuff  since it can slow their guts. Bet Thumper is like “Omg, I got the best mum evvah”?!” 🥰

The buns loved their popsicles! Thumper had his gone in less than 10 minutes! Blossom took a little longer but she still ate it which is a win since she doesn’t really like ice cubes!

It’s been in the high 70’s- high 80’s °F for us, I’d love it to be in the 50’s, ah well. Enjoy your cooler weather also that is a great picture!

Hi! Thank you so much for answering. Usually the symptoms which is only this discharge persist for just one day and only happened one time at one day. It occurs one to two times in a month.

Since we adopted it starts happened, the weird thing is that i expected it to end when she started doing the treatment.

When we first get her, she was too…[Read more]

Thank you so much for sharing it with me, for real. I’m always concerned and worried about my bunny health and i felt truly scared, specially because it’s my first time as a bunny owner and i searched everything before adopting her and got her to veterinarians who are reference in São Paulo because i want to give her an excellent life. Binky…[Read more]

@BunnyLass568 What a lovely treat for hot summer days!

Our summer has become very cold and rainy. Yesterday we had 57 F (14 C) during the day. Perfect temp for buns though, they didnt like the warm weather we had in June.

Just catching up, I agree with the others that megacolon is an interesting diagnosis for a bun this young and with her markings. But that’s not to say she isn’t having some issues with the functioning of her cecum. It could be that something similar is happening that isn’t linked to the genes that megacolon is linked to.

How often were her…[Read more]

OK, I typed out a bunch of stuff and it disappeared. AH!

Thank you Bam for the links. I think they do a better job of explaining what I’m trying to say here. Vienna marked bunnies don’t necessarily have blue eyes, but they almost always have at least a white snip on their nose or front paw (and in other Vienna marked bunnies, the white can extend…[Read more]

Megacolon in English spots or white rabbits is caused by double copies of a gene called the KIT-gene. This gene can occur in other animals as well. It interferes with the development of gut innervation.

Your bun is not a pale color, so she’s unlikely to have that double copy of the gene. This is why its a little unusual to see fullblown megacolon…[Read more]

some disorders and diseases in rabbits are colligated to their breed directly?

she has dark brown eyes, i’m trying to pin a new picture here but seems like i’m unable to do it 🙁

thank you so much, i’m going to search them, but do you have any recommendations of groups to me?

since in Brazil we don’t have a large bunny community, i always tend to join foreign bunny groups!

she’s been under treatment so far and it’ll be so important to see how other bunnies’ owner are coping and caring with their babies diagnoses

Yes, most megacolon bunnies are almost all white with just a little bit of color (usually on the head/face). Megacolon is linked to the broken (En) gene. This isn’t to say other bunnies cannot have megacolon, but it is less common (i.e. not the classic case). You bunny looks Vienna marked. Does she have blue eyes?

Double poops usually indicate a…[Read more]
