In agreement it seems like a seizure. But I can certainly see why your vet want to rule out a heart event.
What was the reason for the vet visit in the 1st place? Where you seeing some EC symptoms?
Was he put on trimbutine from that day? Has he had this before?
The new round of fenbedazole could contribute to the lack of appetite.…[Read more]

jerseygirl replied to the topic should I screen for EC in Bun Jovi? in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 4 years, 1 month ago
Yes, just want to echo LBJ here, the cataract could certainly be age related. Same goes for some of those rabbits at BUNS. Possible they tested positive for ec because of exposure sometime in their lifetime (which is supposedly the case for a lot of rabbits). Unless they use the test that shows active infection./flare-up.

schoolofbuns replied to the topic Quad Bonding (currently 1 + 3) in the forum BONDING 4 years, 1 month ago
Hello, thought I’d post an update. I’ve taken the advice to try larger spaces. I think it’s actually working better than the smaller floor spaces. Possibly because all four buns were free roam before, so they’re probably super stressed in small spaces.
I’ve tried pairs bonding in a larger space first (between the two more aggressive buns). I…[Read more]

Yes, your bunny is probably just wondering who this intruder is and why they won’t go away. As Bam said, bunnies often lose interest after awhile.

Thank you Wick!
Update: I was able to find a new vet that recently opened. They did X Rays and his toe is broken. Much like you said it will heal just in a funny position but the lil guy will live 😀

Syllybunny posted an update 4 years, 1 month ago
Hi there! I’m new to bunnies and to the forum. I have eight buns and five of them are just six weeks old! I bought a female rabbit that was supposed to be five months old and unbred, well guess what? She popped out five babies.
One of the five babies just screamed while urinating. What can I do!? Is it a problem with diet? I feed free choice hay…[Read more]

Bam replied to the topic bunny in mirror in the forum DIET & CARE 4 years, 1 month ago
I dont think its about boredom, I think its just a natural response to the presence of another rabbit. Most animals, except dolphins, possibly other whales, perceive their mirror image as another animal. I’ll never forget when my dog saw herself in a wall mirror for the first time. She was just a pup. Her face lit up with delight at the sight of…[Read more]

Thank you!
Kidney disease can hurt the heart, so maybe that’s why your vets want to ultrasound the heart.
I totally agree of course, that the Gabapentin wouldn’t be the cause of lethargy if he’s been on it for a year.
28 days of fenbendazole still remains the golden standard for the treatment of EC. It seems to have fewer serious side effects…[Read more]

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Dislocated Toe? in the forum DIET & CARE 4 years, 1 month ago
If there was any bone fracture, then the bones would have done what they will naturally do which is “heal”. Whether it is “proper” is based on what you mean by that. I would focus on getting an X-ray when you’re at the appointment to get a clear picture of what’s going on and what has happened.
My Wick fractured his toe and it’s healed, but…[Read more]

MooseMouse started the topic Dislocated Toe? in the forum DIET & CARE 4 years, 1 month ago
Hey everyone!
I was just wondering if anyone has had experience with dislocated/broken toes. I was trimming Odins nails about a week or two ago and noticed one of his toes was kind of different looking. It was straightforward. At the time I didn’t think anything of it since he contorts himself in all different ways to avoid nail clippings. Today…[Read more]

Hi there,
My bun has started licking and scratching the floor-length mirror in my room and my glass shower door. Could she think it’s another rabbit? Sign of boredom or loneliness?
Thanks

LBJ10 replied to the topic Taking Molly to an expert clinic: hypersexuality, suspected adrenal tumor in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 4 years, 1 month ago
Oh dear, Molly does seem a bit young to have an adrenal tumor. I mean, I guess you never know. But I’m hoping it is something more simple like the others have suggested. There could still be a little piece of ovary still in there. Or she could be intersex and the first vet just missed the other stuff assuming they were only looking for a uterus…[Read more]

Harry123 started the topic Hutch questions in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 4 years, 1 month ago
Hello! I have an indoor- free ranging bunny who is VERY messy! he absolutely loves to pull hay out of his litter box and spread it around my floor haha. Anyways, i was thinking of getting a hutch as a “home base” because he currently has an x pen and I just think its is hideous, and takes up too much space. He isn’t even in it much because he…[Read more]
