Technically, “snuffles” isn’t a real disease. It is an umbrella term for an upper respiratory infection in rabbits. People typically associate it with Pasteurella. But an upper respiratory infection can be caused by all sorts of bacteria, not just Pasteurella. Yes, Pasteurella and other types of bacteria can be “contagious”. However, an upper…[Read more]

I’m glad you were able to get some pain meds. Did they say anything about her possibly choking on something? I thought about that too since there appears to be a green tint, as if food was mixed in there.

Hello! Thank you for advice!

I actually have expanded the space and it seems like the male rabbit is way less stressed. They are spending some time apart, but will lay next to each other too.

The growling has not completely stopped, and yes I think you’re right, it’s not full boxing, just swatting when he growls. A new behavior has emerged too…[Read more]

Im glad you took her so she got a painkiller and GI meds! I think the GI is due to some sort of dental or facial issue, so if the drooling persists, it needs to be checked out. Is she still drooling?

And regarding the teeth and the drooling the vet said she doesn’t think that something is stuck in her mouth she opened her mouth but she can’t see anything without x-ray so if the drooling continues I’m taking her to the other ambulance for x-ray.

No I’m from Europe:) I took her today and they gave her the same 2 injections from the last time she had GI stasis (pain relief and something to get her metabolism working) and she seems better not great but better than yesterday. She eats from my hand only. I’m taking her again tomorrow and they will be examining a sample of her poo for any…[Read more]

Bam makes a good point. An emergency vet may be able to stabilize things by providing fluids and pain medication until you can see a rabbit vet. Are you in the US? Monday (today) is a holiday. Bunnies can’t go for days without eating, so you have to get something in her.

Hey!

So what you are describing does sound fairly normal during bonding. The male is showing a bit of aggression because he is probably feeling territorial and is not ready to accept the female entirely just yet.

Bonding can sometimes be quite difficult and take some time before the rabbit establish their hierarchy. Is it true boxing you are…[Read more]

Yay! 😃

It does sound like it was a bout of gas. Rabbits can get gassy due to stress/a fright, some are of course more prone than others. Many buns get gassy at the onset of a molt. Once the gas passes, the rabbit goes right back to normal again.

If its sth thats gotten stuck or trauma to teeth or the jaw, it can of course happen very fast. Then it gets worse due to swelling, which causes pain and discomfort. You must keep her warm. If she hasnt eaten in 8-12 hours you should syringe feed some really really sloppy CC or pellet mush. She does need to see a vet asap. Idk if you could find a…[Read more]

Thank you all! When I checked on Beatrix this morning, she was starting to eat and flop again! At first, she didn’t want treats, but she ate hay. Since she was eating, I held off taking her to the vet, since she hates carrier rides. A couple hours later now and she is eating treats and acting completely normal again. So strange; last time, she…[Read more]

Is there a particular reason you’re looking for a supplement?

I would not used the described product.

Years ago, one of my buns had a piece of willow stuck in the back of his throat. This is rare, but obviously can happen. Has your bunny been chewing on anything that could possibly create a piece that has the potential to get stuck? Willow? Apple sticks?

She stopped eating this morning. She hasn’t eaten anything all day only drank some water and she seems like she’s in a lot of pain. I’m panicking and I’m so nervous that vets don’t work on Sundays. She’s been hiding all day, i tried to give her lettuce and pellets but she pushes my hand. I don’t understand how this happened so fast because…[Read more]

Hi and welcome to BB, Nat!

This really is an old thread. Many of the members that were active on the forums back then are nolonger active. Procedures and prices have changed a lot since 2014. I recommend that you start a new topic about this. I think the chances that you get relevant answers are greater if you do!
