DanaNM replied to the topic megacolon? in the forum DIET & CARE 3 years, 1 month ago
I’m sorry you are going through this. 🙁
The pics did not come through, but it does sound like megacolon is a possibility, but not the only possibility. It would be important to rule out things like parasites or diet sensitivity before concluding it’s for sure megacolon. If her poops are normal sometimes, it suggests that something else could be…[Read more]

Oxbow is a good food, but it is not the only one!
I like using this chart to compare brands:

So I just found out that our hardware store (affiliated with Ace Hardware) sells Kaytee forti-diet natural pellets rabbit food and they can not be returned once bought. To avoid getting bad pellets again, is the Oxbow Essentials actually good for rabbits? I won’t be able to get pellets for so many months (I was told to just finish what I have and…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Senior bunny and dementia? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 3 years, 1 month ago
This sounds like it could be EC. My senior started showing symptoms around age 12. Circling/spinning and scanning was a main symptom for him. Ear infections do not cause neuro affects, but EC definitely does. I recommend talking to your vet about this. EC tests are unreliable, but many vets will treat on suspicion. Treating my bun helped a lot, he…[Read more]

Hi all. I was here back at the end of December to ask about my holland lop Blu and his ear infection/ head tilt. Well we’ve treated everything but here we are almost 3 months later and he is still only about to turn to the left when moving about. He is still pretty strong, and can take a step or two now in the forward direction, but he mostly o…[Read more]

Rabbits do like to pee on the ones they love. In the rabbit universe, its a compliment. It tends to subside with spaying/neutering, but intact rabbits can be quite determined when it comes to peeing on their human. Rabbits also like to pee on soft things like beds and sofas, and that often goes for both intact and spay/neutered rabbits.
It’s very…[Read more]

chaoskittiez replied to the topic holland lopXfrench angora in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 3 years, 1 month ago
Now I need to ask this. Why? Why do the pee on my bed? I was all excited that my little gray and white bun was coming to see me. He just paused on my hip and peed. This bunny has rocks for brains so I’m not thinking he’s claiming anything but his mom does it also. She waits until she out of reach and then gives me the side eye. Sometimes I for…[Read more]

It’s as if they have to put some effort into keeping their lips closed. When they relax, sometimes they let everything go and that includes their lips. It isn’t usual to see their lip sort of sagging. LOL

Some rabbits do indeed part their mouth while resting, so you can see their teeth. Generally, mouth-breathing is going to come up at pretty intense stages of respiratory distress, so w/ no other obvious indicators, it’s likely just how Eclipse rests.
