OK, I was just curious since some bunnies can have an adverse reaction to ivermectin. I didn’t know what coloring these bunnies had though.

I’m sorry this happened. Something was obviously going on. As Bam explained, it is possible for a bunny to have an internal ear infection that isn’t easily detected.

@LBJ I believe it was Selarid (selamectin). He has prescribed that for other buns in the past and it has worked well. It seems to have helped Churro quite a bit. They were treated at the same time, about 2 weeks before Bon passed away.

@Bam oh ok, that makes sense, thank you for explaining. 🙂

I would get a new one.

An ear infection in the outer ear can penetrate into the middle ear via the tympanic membrane. The middle ear is very close to the inner ear, which is basically the brain. If infection reaches the brain –

You, as a bun caretaker,  would not notice symptoms, which is what’s so insidious about this. You can basically not detect it without skull…[Read more]

I don’t see anything wrong with frozen treats. Everything in moderation, right?

Do you know what the vet used to treat for the ear mites?

Hi Bam 🧡!

Thanks for the information! Yes, Bon was a lop, but I never noticed any hearing problems. I had wondered about an ear infection, too, but didn’t realize they could be so easy to miss. I suppose that might also explain the leaning and head tilt. And holding his ear in a weird position. Is it possible for lops (or any bunny really) to die…[Read more]

@auntie Great news! 🥰

My bunnies are doing great 😊

thank you for the input!

In my experience, random internet people looove telling others that what they do is horribly wrong.

Admittedly, it would be bad if your buns consumed vast quantities of ice very rapidly. This is very easy to understand, imagine yourself gobbling up like a pound of ice in moments. Youd probably get an ice cream migraine and possibly throw up…[Read more]

Hi BrunosMama 💚!

I’m very sorry you lost Bon.

Was Bon a lop? I’m asking because ear infections are very common in lops and these infections can go undetected for a very long time, even with regular vet health checks. Did you ever notice if he had a hearing problem? An undetected ear infection can sometimes heal spontaneously after having caused…[Read more]

I think the risk is low if it’s a dirt basement/cellar underneath the house. Your bunnies would not come in contact with the spray and as long as it isn’t aerosolized, I don’t see how it could reach your bunnies.
