Activity

Nope I don’t deworm my rabbit, deworming is not something that all rabbits absolutely need. Most pet rabbits don’t require regular routine worming. Rabbits are generally less likely to get worms compared to other animals.

OMG Bomi Looking so Adorable 🙂

OMG that’s HUGE!!!!

Finally had a 3 way cuddle!

I’m so sorry you are going through this. I just went through the same thing with my cat, it’s an awful thing to feel like you have no good options. 🙁

I hope it helps your bun feel better for some time and you get to spend some more time with him. It did help my cat for a bit and allowed us at least to have some processing time and some more good…[Read more]

Ok, thanks for the details! Logistically I am not really able to do everyday (plus it’s really hard to get them gathered up for sessions, so to do swaps I’d need a holding place of some sort too), and I’m still worried about Snoopy and Ruby bonding faster.. If they aren’t bonded by winter or so,  then I might try the technique :). Hopefully it…[Read more]

Oh yes, cold laser therapy! I think that could be really helpful actually! I have used a laser pointer for wound care for many years, both on human wounds and pet wounds. That type of light stimulates tissue healing. And as long as you don’t shine it in anybody’s eyes, it’d be perfectly safe. LED light therapy can also help, but I haven’t used…[Read more]

Thank you for the replies! It’s looking like this is my only reasonable option at this point. The other option the vet gave me was to start chemo, which would require an hour drive each way once a week (he hates the car) and wouldn’t necessarily prolong his life any more than the steroid would. The vet said given that he’s 8 and a senior bun,…[Read more]

I’m not seeing the sore. How bad is it exactly? That will help us advise you better.

Thank you so much for your reply though, I feel at my wits end so I just need like a brains trust to come up with any solutions I haven’t.

I feel like the sock situation stresses her out, and i worry about her eating the sock, the tape, and licking off the ointment and cutting off blood supply. I sort of wish i could put a little shoe on her. But…[Read more]

This is difficult.

One member here said their vet recommended them to rub bio hex schampoo on the sore hock, then rinse with water containing Nolvasan. This can of course be very difficult for one person to do if the bun is uncooperative and also big, as your girl is. It’d be great if someone could help you hold her, esp if you could do it…[Read more]

I’m sorry that happened. 🙁

What you are describing sounds perfectly normal though. Bunnies are less active during the middle of the day, so they tend to eat less and poop less. Then there will be tons of poop in the evening once they are active again.

No personal experience with this, but my understanding is that steroids are prescribed to rabbits as a last resort treatment. For example, a back injury where they need to get the swelling down immediately. Another example is when a rabbit has cancer. We know they don’t have long left, but a steroid can help ease their suffering and prolong their…[Read more]
