Welcome back! I’m so sorry for your loss of Bernard. 🙁 You did a great job with her and if I remember correctly she had a lot of issues.

We’ve dealt with similar situations at the rescue, where someone has a “pet” that is basically a stray bun in their yard or neighbor hood. This bun was most likely someone’s pet that either escaped or was “set…[Read more]

That does sound like she could have a bladder infection or possibly a kidney issue. Sometimes EC will also cause excessive urination and urinary incontinence. How old is Daisy, and is she spayed? Also, how often do you clean her litter box?

Also, does she have a litter box upstairs? Sometimes buns will mark in a new area, or if they are too far…[Read more]

That is so common! That’s why we’re always harping on people who get “two sisters” as babies, because it seems like 9 times out of 10 one is a male!

Hey Jude! (ha!)

And they did a really thorough exam of his teeth? Often to really see what’s going on some light anesthesia is needed.

And yes liver torsion is not always immediately fatal, and the surgery to correct it actually has a pretty high success rate. Definitely worth asking if they think it could be an option!

Hmm, it’s not a terrible idea, but I’m thinking to actually have a big impact you’d want to get a pair of clippers. I don’t think the level of trim you could do with scissors safely would actually help that much. Even just giving them a good grooming to remove as much loose undercoat as possible will help.

One thing my buns seem to use more than…[Read more]

But the stuff he’s refusing is often softer herbs, and wouldn’t he refuse the brussels sprouts all together if it was dental issues? When I give him swiss chard from my mom’s garden he’ll nibble at the leaf but eat the whole crunchy stem (he used to eat the whole leaf but not touch the stem at all) He’s also eating a lot of timothy hay. Other than…[Read more]

Yes, the biggest issue is he’s refusing to eat. He hasn’t eaten hay or pellets in a week and the only thing he nibbles on are his apple sticks or some fresh herbs if offered (and not really with much appetite as these are usually treats that he devours). We told the vets to check for anything it could be (our specific concerns were issues with…[Read more]

Often picky eating is a classic symptom if dental issues. Molar spurs can sometimes be very difficult to see in routine vet check ups. Also sometimes the tiniest spur can cause them to become picky. Dental issues can be slow and progressive before any serious symptoms start to show and often the rabbits will act fine until they develop tounge…[Read more]

Yes it was quite funny when she was like ohhh it looks like I see a penis and sure enough there it was…of course I don’t love him any less he’s still my sweet boy, I’m just trying to get used to calling her a him  also to call him Jude now

On the topic of Breintje being dramatic about me feeding other bunnies:

I forgot to add that Daisy has been eating and drinking normally. She has also been acting normal, too. She doesn’t seem in pain at all
