Are you sure it isn’t an atypical syphilis infection? Sorry, that just randomly came to mind as a possibility.

7 isn’t really that old for surgery in general… but it all depends on what the surgery is and the chances of recovery. If she has multiple abscesses throughout her head then it would be very difficult to cure. Usually you can only know the full extent with a CT scan, which is very expensive and usually only available at specialist hospitals. I…[Read more]

Thank you guys i really appreciate it

In terms of the wound it really is so strange, the vets took a sample and sent it out a few days ago but we haven’t received an answer as to what it is -And they don’t seem to know aswell. Vets just said that it’s spreading to her actual eye almost… And because she is 7 years old it’s dangerous doing a…[Read more]

I’m so sorry, what a sad turn of events. Would it be possible to get a second opinion or see a specialist?

I think you should go to see her on Saturday. It will be hard, but I think you would regret not going.

Oh dear, it seems to me like ending her suffering is a bit premature? I know you’ve posted about it before but what type of a wound is it? Is there an abscess?

There are “flesh-eating” bacteria, but they typically do their work of destruction really, really quickly. This seems more like a slow spread, like some sort of pyoderma (what’s known as…[Read more]

That’s great! Thanks for the update 🙂

Thank you all for your help 😊 my bunny is doing great and no more problems. I will slowly start giving him treats but I’ll break them up.

This does sound like it very well could be a dental problem. The fact that she saw some sharp looking teeth AND he isn’t wanting his hay suggests that the points very well could be bothering him. Hay requires the most side to side chewing and is usually the first thing to go when a bun has molar spurs. It’s not uncommon for buns to need a trim…[Read more]

thats great!

i wasnt able to get her into a vet today but she is slowly starting to get better. i got her to eat a lot of grass, a little lettuce, and some thyme. shes also eating a tiny bit of hay.

unfortunately i dont have any dried willow leaves but i did offer her some dried rose petals and she ate them all! shes starting to get more active and back to…[Read more]

A beautiful tribute to a beautiful bunny. Bun Jovi was well-loved around here. He made it to 14, Dana. You must have been doing something right.

Binky free Bun Jovi! We will miss you!

How is she doing now?

I wanted to add that when my bunny had gas, I would offer him dried willow leaves. They are a natural pain remedy and it seemed he would instinctively eat them, even when he didn’t want to eat other things.

I don’t have any pain meds for her, but if i take her to the vet i will see if i can get some to have on hand if this happens again. she still isnt eating, ive been syringe feeding her and giving simethicone. if she doesnt come out of her hideout in the next hour at 4pm (which is usually when she wakes up from her nap) im going to call some…[Read more]
