Apollo seems to have resigned himself to his fate. He still twitches and squirms a little, but nothing like before. It probably helps that he’s only getting one dose a day rather than 3 as well. Who knows if his slightly better behaviour will last, but I can only hope.

He did pee on the table a couple days ago, but that’s my fault for pulling him…[Read more]

Aw, that sounds promising. You guys take such special care of him.
Happy Birthday, dear Teddy!

Is he on anti inflammatory meds at all? That would be helping with both age related ailments but also EC if he happen to have active infection. If ex causing some recent issues, at least so thing like metacam would begin treatment.
Is the test they do now more accurate? PCR test right?
I would have convo with vet about how older buns like him go…[Read more]

I’ll definitely use that advice! I’ve been making sure to keep a close eye on how they’re feeling before, during and after their meetings to make sure they aren’t getting too stressed. Thanks 🙂

Haha yeah the vet is no longer spaying or neutering rabbits because it scared them so bad. I just started switching them between cages and they seem to be doing okay with it… not even stressed. I’ll definitely keep trying with it! Thanks :).

Thanks,

I honestly didn’t realize there was such a difference between them being in the same cage and having bars between them. I’ll definitely keep that in mind while I keep trying :).

Today they had two shorter dates, but it didn’t go all that smoothly. Owen is humping a lot again and Molly runs away every time. This causes quite a bit of excitement, and he honks while chasing her. It doesn’t help that he nearly always face-humps her, and she shoots out from under him.

The good news is that he actually managed to locate her…[Read more]

Ah, I see he’s already dressed in black with a punk rock hairdo! 😎

Have a very happy birthday Teddy! 🥳

Yeah, I saw the Revolution recommendation on there and wondered about that. I mean, fleas could potentially be a vector. But fleas feeding on an infected wild rabbit would have to somehow make it onto your bunny. If they are kept indoors, then this is extremely unlikely… if not impossible.

I agree, that box looks too small.

EC is probably less likely in this case. Arthritis could explain a lot of this. Plus he IS 13… so there could be some other age-related things going on. I suppose it doesn’t hurt to have him tested, but I don’t know if you would want to take him to the vet just for that. Maybe something the ask about next time you’re there?

I don’t know what specifically a bumbox is, but yes, that is small. Rather than basing purchases off what YouTubers have, consider what would be best for your rabbit. It sounds like you understand that more space is needed, so go with that. That box is definitely too small.

There is some good information here:…[Read more]

Thank you all so much!!  For your kind wishes and for all your help over the years 🙂

Agree with Bam about Revolution. There is a product called Vectra 3D that can be safely dosed by a vet (our vet back in SB figured out a regime because we were having a lot of deaths from Myxo) that does repel insects before they bite (as opposed to Revolution, which kills things already feeding on the bun). But if your buns are housed inside and…[Read more]
