Welcome to BinkyBunny!! I currently foster a Rex and she’s quite wonderful, so I understand the love!

As for glaucoma in buns, one of our old members (Asriel&Bombur) use latanaprost eyedrops for her ec bun who has cataracts that lead to glaucoma. They do the job, he gets 2 drops twice per day and his pressure is down from 40 to 25 (should ideally be 20).

Most things buns ingest do pass through because they chew their food (and non food) into very fine bits. They can swallow big chunks of things like dogs do.

If he’s eating and drinking and acting normal tomorrow as well I think he’s out of the woods. Most buns do get into non-food items now and then and there’s rarely a problem. But you can of…[Read more]

Hi and very welcome to the BB forums!

If you have a large freezer, then yes. The hay would need to be super dry though.

Hi everyone!  Hope you and your buns are all doing good! The Popsicles sound a treat! Miu and Dorian have been so happy to be out on the deck and luckily no crazy hot weather.  Miu has gotten way more snuggly, which is always the best so totally get you being excited Bunny Lass! Hope you and your buns are all doing good!

Yes, a nebulizer is generally considered safe. There are others on the forum that have used them for their bunnies.

Was he being treated for EC otherwise? What were the antibiotic drops for exactly? Did the vet think he had a secondary infection? Antibiotics aren’t going to do anything for cataracts. There are drops that are used for dogs…[Read more]

hahah I’m the queen of foster fails, so I get that. I think if he has a stuffy and can see the other buns, he will be just fine, especially if you can spend some time with him each day.

Hay is the absolute best pre-biotic for buns. Pre-biotics is food for the desireable gut microbes. Its important for humans, but its way more important for buns. Humans break down food with the aid of various enzymes as well as microbes, rabbits are pretty much totally reliant on microbes.

Thank you, I’m trying not to be hard on myself. I could have put them in smaller areas and refereed them, and kept trying other things, but my gut was saying it’s not worth the added stress. I do think Maxwell and Ruby have a difficult bond for a third to enter into due to their super closeness, and Maxwell is generally difficult, lol.. they may…[Read more]

That’s really so hard, but don’t beat yourself up. I tend to focus on the trio success stories in my mind, but I think the reality is that trios are very hard and far from guaranteed to work. I think especially since you had a tougher bond with Ruby and Maxwell it might just be a very difficult combo of personalities.

Snoopy will be ok, perhaps…[Read more]

Yes, sometimes Snoopy nips first, so of course that just seems to set things back farther.

So, Maxwell somehow got another chunk of fur from Snoopy’s nose one night thru the fence. It’s not bad by itself but combined with the rest he has a lot of bald area on his face now 🙁   That said, even though I’m sad for Snoopy living alone, I think I’m g…[Read more]

I’m so sorry. 🙁

Having just had to make these decisions for 2 pets, I know it is so so hard, but know you are making the choice out of love.

I hope you can give him lots of snuggles and bananas. <3
