pinkiemarie started the topic Springtime aggression in the forum BEHAVIOR 2 years, 10 months ago

My bunny Ben gets extremely aggressive with his bonded “brother” Wally every spring. Both rabbits are neutered. This goes on for several weeks. Ben is a 2 lb Polish and Wally is 7 lbs. Wally is very docile and refuses to defend himself. The aggression typically involves chasing and mounting and has led to Wally scratching his cornea before.

Bam replied to the topic Rabbit with EC not doing well, is it fair to keep her going? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 2 years, 10 months ago

A week is a short time to treat for EC, the bendazoles are slow-acting drugs, plus the tissue inflammation that ec causes needs time to calm down.

I’d ask about the albendazol/fenbendazol. Fenbendazol (Panacur) is by far the most common choice for the treatment of ec, although I know of two buns (in the USA) that get oxibendaxole for ec flare…[Read more]

I’m not sure why the vet chose albendazole. I will definitely be asking them about that tomorrow.

How long has she been getting treatment? Is there are reason for using albendazole instead of fenbendazole? Currently, fenbendazole is the standard for EC treatment. Unlike albendazole, fenbendazole can cross the blood-brain barrier.
LBJ10 replied to the topic Holding bunny in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 2 years, 10 months ago

As you said, the vast majority of bunnies simply do not like being picked up or held. This doesn’t mean they can’t come to tolerate it though. You can work on getting her more used to being handled, but you may need to be more firm about it. When you grab her, you have to do it with confidence. Otherwise, she will find ways to avoid being picked…[Read more]

UPDATE: now she’s eating her veggies like crazy… she’s so back and forth every single day would it make sense to put her down IF she stops eating veggies? I’m beside myself right now, I just lost an 18 year old cat. I can’t imagine losing her too this is beyond difficult and exhausting.

Hello, my rabbit is almost 7 years old and has E Cuniculi, pneumonia and has been having seizures up until yesterday when she started seizure meds. She’s on Tribrissen (for pneumonia) but I’ve already had to stop them once because she just does not eat anything except some veggies here and there. It’s probably been 2 weeks since she’s really…[Read more]
Kay_32484 started the topic I Thought My Two Females Were Bonded but Now There’s Chasing and Nipping in the forum BONDING 2 years, 10 months ago

I have a 4 year old female (Opal) who’s 4 year old male partner passed away in December 2022. She immediately became depressed so I attempted to bond her with another male in January 2023. I attempted bonding every single day for multiple hours a day but ultimately this pairing did not work out because the male kept hurting her (ripped her e…[Read more]

Yes! It was stressful but they were sooo cute!!

It’s so hard to avoid the temptation, I have backtracked on what I had in my head so many times out of being impatient lol.
DanaNM replied to the topic What did my bunny poop out ? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 2 years, 10 months ago

It looks like mucus to me (but agree it’s hard to tell from the photo). Mucus in poop is not uncommon with stasis as it can occur when their is irritation to the gut lining. It should resolve as her stasis resolves.

What medications is she on?

LBJ10 replied to the topic grain mites?? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 2 years, 10 months ago

Hmm… I can’t imagine grain mites sticking around if their food source is eliminated. Are you sure they are grain mites? They would be super tiny and hard to see…. like less than half a millimeter. Are they attracted to the bedding/litter you are using? What does your bunny have in his enclosure?
bumpybunny started the topic grain mites?? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 2 years, 10 months ago

A while ago my hamster had a grain mite infestation in his enclosure. His cage is right next to my rabbits in my room. I got rid of them within a few weeks and also did a deep clean of my rabbits cage to be safe. Today I refilled my rabbits water and like 30 mins later it was filled with a TON of the grain mites. Does anyone know if these can hurt…[Read more]
LBJ10 replied to the topic What did my bunny poop out ? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 2 years, 10 months ago

It’s hard to see in the photo. I would say it’s either mucus or a foreign material. Did you squish it to see if it… how should I say this… disintegrated between your fingers? If so, then it is mucus. If it’s a solid piece of something, then it’s foreign material that she ate and then pooped out.
