White rabbit, I am actually concerned about the petite mal seizures too. From what I’ve seen, one of her seizures she began trying to flip herself on her back and lost awareness of her surroundings and was very disoriented. Another one she had a head tilt and peed herself. Another one she couldn’t get up and started freaking out, she just sta…[Read more]

This is a very old thread, but you definitely should not be using an essential oil diffuser around rabbits. Since this thread is old, I’m going to close it as you are unlikely to get responses from the OP and we ask members not to reply to old threads to avoid confusion.

Hmmm, this does sound like EC, but it also sounds like a very complex case. The tests are very often unreliable. Did you do the full 28 day course of medication? There are times when bun needs another round. Also, the damage done by the parasite is irreversible, so symptoms do not always resolve completely, but anti-inflammatories can help with…[Read more]

I’m happy that you finally have the vaccine now, I’ve been very worried about all those buns in areas where it’s not available yet.

Poor Miu… It’s so sad to see a bunny who’s so scared, because there’s usually nothing that you can do to cheer them up. I hope that she’ll become less scared over time.

I’m just back from the vet. Owen’s stasis…[Read more]

Owen!!@!@@!1!!!!@!!! You lazy, picky, spoilt fluffbutt! Well, at least the vet visit was cheap… 🤬

Long story short: his teeth are fine, his tummy is fine, his fur is fine, he’s a picture of bunny health. He even managed to gain weight (+ 60 g) on his diet of CC, and is now on the plump side of a healthy weight. (And that’s the thanks I get for…[Read more]

Thanks for the reply, on number 4 when I meant jumping there is nothing for him to actually jump on and his area is padded with towels and blankets, I meant more that he is binkying (which I cannot prevent) – that was more a queries about whether the lack of urination is normal, however, this morning (24hours post-op) he did finally pass an…[Read more]

Here is some general guidance provided by Wabbitwiki: https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Spaying_and_neutering_rabbits#After_the_operation

1. Typically no…. even for a neuter, a couple days of pain medication is recommended to have, at least on hand.
2. Yes, do what you can to prevent excessive prodding at the surgical site to ensure it heals. Any sort…

This will likely have no correlation, but I used to have seizures as a kid do to an autoimmune issue, and I always felt tired for 24 hours after like all I wanted to do was sleep. The seizure basically took all my energy and could by why she is “floppy.” Sometimes. Im no vet but as someone who has had seizures there are two main types are petit…[Read more]

Okay I went down this massive rabbit hole (pun not intended). I have been using diffusers with eucalyptus oil in them for the past few days to keep my bunnies room smelling nice and just realised this could be so bad for them and then I found this thread. Did anyone find a safe way to keep bunny rooms smelling fresh?

this is a good idea, I will do that! thanks!

Maybe you could contact Oxbow and ask? They used to be really great at getting back to customers’ e-mails. I dont know if that has changed, but it could perhaps be worth a try?

Desensitizing my bunny to fireworks sounds worked for me. I played fireworks sounds from YouTube at a low noise level till my bunny got used to it, then I upped the sound level to a more moderate-loud sound range (like a tv being on range) and he got used to that too. Last Fourth of July he didn’t even flinch at the actual fireworks going off o…[Read more]

Thanks Dana. The problem is that it takes a very long time for this to ever show up. When I posted this one, it still showed EDAdmin as the author, and when I logged out of binkybunny the post was not public/visible for many hours. 🙁

Look into rescue remedy.

I do not know it’s use on rabbits, but it’s great for dogs and cats (and people).
