I had good result with adding some rolled oats (porridge oats) to my Vilde, who was a hard keeper. Rabbits often love rolled oats, its easy on the tummy and gives good energy. A few sunflower seeds and/or pumpkin seeds could also be beneficial. I have a young fosterbun who was very skinny when I got him due to a situation where his brother hadn’t…[Read more]

It could be a endometrial aneurysm thats causing the bleed. It should be considered as a differential in young unspayed does that presents with bleeding from the uterus. My rabbit savvy vet held a lecture for our rabbit wellfare society in November 2021 where she mentioned this.

A full spay is curative if its about venous malformations in the…[Read more]

Thanks, Dana and LBJ! We have been looking for a vet who understands rabbits ever since we got her but have had little luck so far. this vet is the best we have come across in the last 2 years, so unlikely that we will find someone better / more experienced.

Sweet Fable :heart:

Considering her age, it could be an infection in the uterus. Cancer is also a possibility. Either way, the best course of action is to have her spayed. I realize that there are not many rabbit savvy vets there. If finding one with more experience isn’t possible, then I agree with Dana that attempting the surgery is better than not treating it at all.

Yes, let’s hope so!

Miu, my skittish bun, is a lionhead, and she is always getting tangles and and things stuck in her mane or pantaloon fluff on top of needing grooming and it really does work for her. I also just let them stay on the ground and do small bits until they seem very annoyed and then just come back later. They have adjusted to it and Dorian is actually…[Read more]

their behavior became better the longer they were together, so we ended up doing a marathon session and they spent the night together in semi neutral territory… technically it’s more like both of their territory, but neither of them seem to care much about territory. Lots of reciprocal grooming, few snuggle sessions. Miu in particular was super…[Read more]

Sounds like a great start!

Rabbits learn clicker training very easily! I always make a kissy noise when I give a treat and my buns come running from all corners of the house LOL

That’s great, happy to help!

I always bring both buns to the vet, even if one can’t actually stay with them at the vet. I will also bring the other bun with me to pick up the poorly bun from the vet, so they have the car ride to get reacquainted, and have never had an issue.

Fingers crossed!

I’m sorry you are going through it. 🙁 It does sound like uterine cancer, which is very common in unspayed rabbits. Spaying (removing the uterus and ovaries) is the recommended treatment, and if caught early will usually remove all of the cancerous tissue. How many spays does this vet do? If they are not rabbit savvy, could you potentially find…[Read more]

((((Binky free Fable )))) <3

I am bringing Budja’s into the vet’s on Wednesday to have it flushed out. I will also be picking up azithromycin and more penicillin, to kind of dual attack this thing with the penicillin and more metacam. The vet actually said this may mean not doing a surgery.
