This happens with cats as well. The cat or bun smells “strange” when they’ve been to the vet. The best thing is to bring both buns to the vet, for simple procedures the vet will probably not mind.  I’ll be bringing both my buns when one of them is due for his yearly vaccination in July.

I wanted to add a few good brands to help you look.
– Sherwood ( what I feed my bunnies )

– oxbow

– small pet select

These are just a few and there are many more. Maybe talk to your vet about what they think would be best. Also what hay are you you feeding him/her alfalfa and oat? Those are linked to weight gain in adult rabbits.

I did a very uneventful session again with the boys yesterday. Maxwell has seemed a lot more interested in Snoopy last night and today. They are sooo weird, Maxwell had his foot poking thru the gate, and Snoopy made sure to be one inch away so they didn’t touch :/. Maxwell looked to nip a tiny bit but it was really nothing. I do notice Maxwell is…[Read more]

Okay, hopefully they re bond easier then the first time because that was rough. I wanted to bring Cinnimon but the vet told us it wasn’t possible, next time he needs his teeth trimming I will make sure cinnimon goes. Thanks you for your help.

Sadly this does happen fairly often, sorry this happened to you 🙁 . The thought is that they smell different when coming back from the vet. In most cases the buns can be rebonded , sometimes quickly. Best bet is to keep them separate as the vet suggested, and go back to pre-bonding (side swaps). Then do bonding sessions in neutral space as you…[Read more]

Hmm, yeah some buns benefit from some time (a week or two or more) of just getting settled in their new home, especially if they are very timid or reactive. But yes I think trying some short bonding sessions would be a good next step. 🙂

I did do prebonding for a week and a half ish. I think I’m going to try the short bonding sessions and leave it on a good note like you said. Thank you for the reply 🙂

Oh for sure they are friendly but also very territorial with each other so I’ll try that too!

Ok that makes more sense!

Awesome! The vets are closed today unfortunately but they’ll be hearing from me first thing tomorrow morning about the medication. Thanks again for the help everyone on here is absolutely incredible.

Oh nooo, not actually lift her from belly but like under her chest I meant, so only her front paws will go off the ground. She usually lets me do this but as soon as I go to put my hand under her bum she’ll hop out my hands.

I have used her carrier to bring her in a few times but sometimes she avoids it because I think she knows now that i’m goi…[Read more]

Yeah we are going to try a different antibiotic. We’re looking into options to decide our best approach, now that we’re armed with the knowledge that it is definitely EC (before he thought he might potentially have something else going on causing the hind limb weakness, but I’ve believed it to be EC all along).

His mobility isn’t a concern…[Read more]

I’m glad you got confirmation and you are continuing to see improvement. As for the URI, would the vet agree to trying a different antibiotic?

Thank you for providing additional information! As the others said, treatment can take time. Sometimes it will be weeks before you see improvement. Oddly though, how quickly you see improvement does not appear to be related to severity of symptoms. Every bunny is different. I would suggest asking your vet about their choice of medication. While…[Read more]

Having another unbonded rabbit near them (or in view) could also be part of the problem. If she’s within their view, you might try blocking their view of her pen by clipping some towels or blankets to the pen walls.

For regular daily transportation, you might consider training her to go into her carrier. That way you can safely move her from the garden to the house.

TBH A vet should be able to handle a rabbit that doesn’t like to be held. In my experience a lot of it is about the technique of the handler and less about the rabbit itself.  I have a few buns…[Read more]

Oh wow, yes I think getting a second opinion will be very good!
