Is your vet rabbit savvy? Rabbits hide symptoms, especially when stressed.

Was there any discussion on allergy medications? I have used Children’s Benadryl on one of my rabbits with potentially-placebo-effect benefits. Regardless, no harm was done in trying it out: https://binkybunny.com/forums/topic/childrens-benadryl-tx/

Update for anyone interested:
Took him to the vet early this morning as he was still having trouble. Turns out to in fact be allergies. He didn’t have any breathing trouble while there and is healthy, breathing fine with healthy lungs and no other issues. He’s in good health for his age and is now resting after getting back.

Ahhhh you rescued her from an Easter Bunny situation? Thank you so much!

That’s wonderful news! I’m sure Spud is taking great care of him. <3

He’s pooping more! They are still really tiny but poops! And they do suspect dental issues now (they didn’t before) as he’s drooling a bit. So his mouth is going to be checked more thoroughly in the morning. He was also a lot perkier when I went to visit him after work. He’s not ready to come home but I don’t feel so hopeless now. It seems Spud…[Read more]

His vet is amazing. I am so thankful that she started working in my town. She called me before leaving this evening and told me he was making progress. He isn’t quite out of it but said that since bringing Spud it was like a whole new bunny. When I went to visit after work he looked so much better. They are going to check his teeth more thoroughly…[Read more]

Rehoming means giving them up permanently, either by finding someone to take them on your own, or surrendering them to a shelter or rescue. Usually when you surrender an animal at the humane society there is a small fee, with rescues it varies. When rehoming on your own, it’s recommended to actually charge a fee to make sure the rabbits don’t end…[Read more]

Some pooping is better than no pooping! Stasis recovery can be horribly slow, so hopefully he keeps improving from here!

Coop literally just did the full 360 roll over flop! 😆

I was going to say I use the big “by weight syringe” to draw from the bottle, then the small one mL to draw from that, but you came to the same conclusion!

Thanks everyone! It helps to have a plan, especially since 1/2 hour is still a ways away.

So sorry @Sonn. I hope Tater makes big improvements soon, I am sure having Spud with him is helping him a bunch. It sounds like he is in good hands at the vet too. Please keep us uptodate!

Ah another sunbeam chaser! 😆

Yes, something like that. I’ll admit the first thought I had when I opened the antibiotics was that it smelled exactly like my tonsillitis medication when I was a kid. Flashbacks.

I rang the vet clinic and asked about dosage, unfortunately the person on the phone was unhelpful and just said to get a 1ml syringe from a vet clinic. That would be…[Read more]

This is most likely a URI. You should take your bunny to a vet so you can get some antibiotics to treat it. Don’t assume it is allergies. Rabbits can technically have allergies, but it isn’t a common thing. Much more common is a URI. Your bunny is 8, his immune system may have weakened at some point. Perhaps during a bit of stress. This allows…[Read more]
