Wick & Fable replied to the topic Rabbit Bleeding in the forum DIET & CARE 2 years, 10 months ago
Without being able to physically look/examine it, it’s hard for online users to confirm that it is completely ok. I’d make sure to keep the area clean if there is any indication of infection or improper healing, like swelling, pus, odor, etc., See a vet immediately.
If the bleeding has stopped by now, that is a good sign. I would double check the…[Read more]

Toulouse started the topic Rabbit Bleeding in the forum DIET & CARE 2 years, 10 months ago
My rabbit, a nine week English lop, seems perfectly healthy, but tonight I noticed a small cut at the tip of her ear. It is not bleeding much, but it is bleeding and that is visible on her paws. This seems fairly common among English lops, though it hadn’t happened yet. I have read to apply pressure and warm water, but was wondering if a mild c…[Read more]

crazylittlebunny started the topic need advice about dog issue with my buns in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 2 years, 10 months ago
When Im not busy with life stuff (I do work but its usually in the mornings), I bring my rabbits up (their enclosure is in the basement) to play. They are usually up from 12/1 pm to 8 pm so they get a good amount of play time (I think?). My little issue comes from the fact that my home has 3 dogs: rex, loki, and peanut (we took my grandparents dog…[Read more]

Update:
He has pooped quite a bit today, but the mucus and very soft/wet/mushy stool persist. He has eaten some little few pellets, absolutely devours his fresh greens, and even munched on a couple stems of hay. He seems to have moments every few hours where he goes to his hay and wants to eat, eats just one strand and then stops again. He also…[Read more]

Thank you so much for the information!
I can only find something called “Cat grass” in pet stores here, is it the same?
Also, I did manage to find the drug under the name metacam, for animals, but it’s strictly sold only if you have a perscription from the vet, so I’ll need to get that first.

Susanne replied to the topic Trio bonding… again (Myra, Bonnie, Cooper) in the forum BONDING 2 years, 10 months ago
That sounds really hopeful! It does seem easier only having 2 to work with, and could totally see how that would work with certain bunny personalities. That’s great to see a little groom, those small wins count!

Hello, I’m in the process of bonding 2 rabbits and one seems more interested than the other, is this normal? Any advice on how to progress further with the bonding?

They sell “pet grass” at pet supply stores. It’s usually just wheat grass.
Meloxicam/metacam are sold as a liquid for animals. Usually the vet will add flavoring to it to make it palatable. For bunnies, it’s usually a sweet flavor.

Hello, thank you so much for the reply and the information!
The rabbit vet told me, since he was eating vegetables, I shouldn’t syringe feed him. He doesn’t eat the mashed up pellets, I might try mixing them with a bit of apricot to see if he’d like that? Before I force feed him? I want to try and avoid unnecessary syringes because he absolutely…[Read more]

LBJ10 replied to the topic Callus or sore hock (side of foot?) in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 2 years, 10 months ago
That looks to be more consistent with a bunny being kept in a small cage and the side of their foot rubbing on the side or bars.

DanaNM replied to the topic Stasis Recovery questions in the forum DIET & CARE 2 years, 10 months ago
The treatment he was prescribed is very unusual for stasis. Your bun is definitely a fighter! Normally the recommended treatment for stasis is pain medication (very important), and sometimes fluids, sometimes a motility aid, and almost always syringe feeding if the rabbit isn’t eating. Syringe feeding and pain meds alone can often bring a rabbit…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic 2nd bunny in the forum BONDING 2 years, 10 months ago
It isn’t recommended to bond unless you can get your female spayed (the term for the procedure in a female animal). When the female is hormonal it can trigger a lot of issues with bonding and it can be impossible to get a stable bond.
1 K is very expensive … what country are you in? Bonding aside, spaying in female rabbits is good to do as it…[Read more]

Hello everyone!
A bit of backstory if it’s relevant:
I have a 7 year old dwarf rabbit. On friday, 2nd of june, he started having very limited eating and pooping, but because of an emergency with another family member, I entrusted his care to my mother and brother, for three days. I gave directions to them, but they are not rabbit-savy and…[Read more]
