koki started the topic BUNNY BROKEN/DISLOCATED TOE in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 3 years, 11 months ago
My bun recently broke one toe from his hind leg and I took him to the vet to get Xrays done but the doctor told me he would need surgery to either repair or amputate the toe. Apparently the cost would be $5k for amputation, however I don’t have the money as of now. Is there anything else I could do for the toe, at least in the meanwhile? They…[Read more]

HareIvoryWhiskers started the topic Nail clippings in the forum DIET & CARE 3 years, 11 months ago
So sorry to post so quickly after my other post. Someone I know is looking for a place that will clip their bunnies nails. Their vet will do it for like $20-$30 with an examination on top of that which is like $50-$60. She lives in Upstate NY–not saying where– and heard that some pet places will clip nails for cheaper. Can anyone help?

Damon was adorable 🥰
It really sounds like it was his time. It’s very hard for the human to make the decision to help a beloved pet cross over, but we do it because we love the pet and when we take on an animal, we also promise to not let the animal suffer when there’s no hope of recovery, if we can help it.
Saying goodbye is the bitter part of…[Read more]

It’s been a week since making this post but it really doesn’t feel like it. I just want to say thank you to all who read and to those who commented, it means a lot to me. Demon was in complete heart failure and his organs were shutting down and he had something going on where his back legs were giving out on him and the vet said he wouldn’t have…[Read more]

Bam replied to the topic Infcol/ Simethicone in the forum DIET & CARE 3 years, 11 months ago
I start with simethicone baby gas drops alone plus elevation of the bunny butt to help gas escape. I also put the bun back on the floor away from its favorite resting spot so it has to hop that distance. Body movement sets the gut in motion.
If 2 doses of simethicone don’t make a difference, I give meloxicam, famotidine and sloppy Critical Care…[Read more]

It’s such a controversial topic. I asked on another forum and the thread almost got shut down because of the difference of opinion.
Do you find that it works on its own or do you give pain medication/ gut motility medication along with it?

Bam replied to the topic Infcol/ Simethicone in the forum DIET & CARE 3 years, 11 months ago
I have used infacol with my buns. It’s not avsilable where I am, so I used to ask friends to buy it for me in the UK. Rhe taste seems to appeal to rabbits.
From what I can see in the ingredient list, it doesnt contain sugar. It contains saccharine and orange flavor. As you are saying, sugar can cause even more gas in an already gassy bun so…[Read more]

Hi all
I’m reading a lot of mixed reviews about INFACOL (Simethicone) for when bunnies have gas issues.
What are everyone’s thoughts on it? Have you found it actually works or will the sugar in it cause more issues in the bun?
Thanks

Snoa is so gorgeous. I just want to sink my hands into her fur.
Got a nice new bale of hay today for the buns. Looks nice and green too which is good, my last couple of bales have been a bit average.

He’s been like this for over a week.
There’s always a towel covering part of his cage at this time of the year because the nights are very light and short in summer here.
Regarding the calming herbs, we’ve been trying lavender from our garden in the past 2 days, as we have this Pet Remedy calming spray, but they use it at the clinic and the…[Read more]

Yes you are exactly correct, because usually she would stay with my parents who have a dog, and after the 1h drive there you would think that she would be stressed but no it’s like her primal instinct awakens there and she bosses everyone around there and even the dog is scared of her!! Haha. But this time my parents couldn’t take her so it was…[Read more]

August hasn’t started well here: Owen and Molly suddenly had 3 real fights in one day on Sunday, and now they’re separated again. The bonder is at a loss, and the only thing that she could do was recommend a valerian supplement to help things calm down. Molly is afraid of…[Read more]

LBJ10 replied to the topic Getting a bun more comfortable with contact? in the forum BEHAVIOR 3 years, 11 months ago
Yes, all four feet are on the ground and they are kept in place by your legs. They aren’t being squeezed tightly or anything like that. They simply have nowhere to you. I have a lot of luck with one of my buns that was very difficult to medicate. I actually was able to do his front nails this way too. The back legs didn’t work as well though.

Have you been gone for an extended period time before? If this is the first time and she is really attached to you, then it could have simply been stress. I agree with Dana. If she is eating/pooping, then just keep monitoring. Hopefully she will snap out of it after a few days.

DanaNM replied to the topic Rabbit acting slow after we went on vacation in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 3 years, 11 months ago
Ok that’s good, then yes I think keep monitoring and offering her lots of hay! I like to offer handfuls of hay in my buns faces frequently when I suspect something is off with them.
