Could you get someone to hold him? This person could hold the bun so its back is against the holding person’s belly. Hold the hind legs with one hand, (the bun must not be able to kick out!) the front lwgs with the other. You only need to take a quick peek.

Another method is to place a mirror on a table or the floor, add treats and try to sneak a…[Read more]

You do need a vet for this. He should get a painkiller and an x-ray of his would be good too, in case he has skeletal injury to his face. But at least a painkiller. Any vet could prescribe that (rabbits typically get dog meloxicam, 1.5 mg/ml), but it’s of course a problem if vets refuse to see rabbits. Meloxicam is commonly given to rabbits at a…[Read more]

You shouldn’t let be jumping around too much as that may open the incision. When Luna got Spayed she was still a bit under so it was easy to check but after a few days I would offer her a treat. Not a whole one just half. Im sure others will chime in with different suggestions.

I watched that video and tried it with Dorian when I first got him. So did not work. I can try it with Miu. I don’t want her high as she does leap and kick. She’s calmer on the ground. She totally panics and goes into full flight mode. Her little heart also starts to race really fast and she pants. On the ground she feels a little less out of…[Read more]

Awe sorry to hear that. What’s his face looking like now?

The one side of his face is clean but now the otherside is a bit messy, we had to reschedule his appointment so now it’s August 21st.

Thank you Bam! 😁

In terms of how they get it, pinworms can be asymptomatic for a while, so it’s difficult to actually identify how your rabbit got it as it could have been a while ago, but is not expressing itself until now. I would…[Read more]

I think his lip looks good! There’s practically no difference between the B and the 4-pictures.

I think he’ll be fine. Keep keeping an eye of course, but I dont think I need to say that 😃

It’s a very nice drawing!  Here’s a picture from Medirabbit, of rabbit pinworms. The red arrows point to the worms:

Is he still not pooping as much as he should?

@BunnyLass568  Any update for Thumper?

The only change would be my new job so I’m out of the house more than I used to be there usually alone for 8-10 hours of the day depending on what shifts I’m working. I haven’t noticed any changes in behaviour in either medical wise, both are pooping and eating/drinking normally. I think I will book a vet appointment to rule out any illness, just…[Read more]
