Oh fab thankyou! I’ve been struggling with the details of caring for him whilst he’s like this!
just chatted with the vet and so far bloods are normal, can’t remember what bloods are back first it was a panel of some sort (still waiting on kidney and EC)

he seemed better this morning but this eve he’s quite quiet and seems like his front paws se…[Read more]

Yes ma’am both neutered.

fluffo has sight of his home area and bounces back and forth. Pepper stays in the kitchen. He doesn’t even come out when I open the gate to his enclosure. Should I be keeping them both in the kitchen without letting fluffo go back and forth to his home area?

Oh great!

Patience really is key, and it’s so wonderfully rewarding when they suddenly decide that the hoom perhaps isn’t so bad after all 😄

Clarification on the treats – the treats are tastiest that hold different values of foraging stuff, she still has MORE hay but we just want to keep encouraging the eating as much as we can.

The reason we were on board with stopping the recovery food is it wasn’t making a difference. She was having that alongside the hay and it did nothing for her…[Read more]

I agree it does look a bit like she pulled it herself as the skin underneath looks good.

Is she spayed? Wondering if she could be having a false pregnancy and nesting.

I’m so sorry he’s doing poorly. I hope he can regain some leg function soon and that the pain meds help. I can take a week or two to start seeing any improvements from the Panacur. You do need to keep a really close eye out for urine scald, it can be extremely painful and hard to deal with.

I recommend checking out some housing recommendations on…[Read more]

Just to confirm, are they both neutered?

Are you doing all of the interactions in neutral territory? They should only be allowed to interact in places that are completely neutral, so not within sight of their home areas, or any areas where either bun has been before.

What’s the longest session you’ve had?

In the grand scheme of things 2 weeks is not long! I’ve had a few bonds that took 3-4 months, and the buns were SUPER closely bonded at the end, so don’t worry! If they were fighting before and now are not, that is progress. Patience is really the most important thing.

When I’ve hit plateaus with my buns,…[Read more]

Yeah, I’m so glad that I’ve got the medication and thankfully he absolutely loves it so he’s inhaling it all which is wonderful. However other rabbit is HATING this, she’s anxious that their main hide is now overrun with me and him and the medicine ended up being a huge fight to get in her so feel pretty grim!

Today isn’t looking brilliant…[Read more]

Actually I’ve noticed this spot maybe a year ago, but i didn’t think it was something serious. Now i see the same spot (hasn’t grown larger) and her skin is not irritated, so it’s in the same state from a year ago. I don’t know if it’s from pulling fur of some kind of alopecia.

It seems that they’re at a stalemate. It’s been 2 weeks now and although they’re doing well all things considered, they’re not really moving forward much now. Will they eventually get over this stalemate or could this possibly be as close as they’ll be? There’s no grooming, no laying beside each other at their x pen fences, no further progress it…[Read more]

Just keep a close watch on her and maybe focus on high-fiber treats to keep her digestive system happy. Hopefully, the blood results will give some clarity soon. Hang in there, and definitely keep us posted on any updates.

Vestibular disease (head tilt) is a classic symptom of EC. However, it is not the only symptom and many bunnies suffering from EC flares do not have head tilt. So I would be concerned if the vet was only looking at the classic symptoms and not the big picture. Hind end weakness is a common symptom and so is incontinence.

If your vet sent you home…[Read more]

Looking at the nice, neat shape of the bald spot… I’m going to say looks self-inflicted. Has she been scratching at all? Or given any indication of irritation or something bothering her? If not, then it may not be mites. The other possibility then would be self mutilation/fur pulling. I had a bunny that would do this when he was stressed. He…[Read more]

Hello again. Fluffo is the bun I had for 2 years. Pepper is the new bun that used to be a school pet. When I first introduced them 2 days ago pepper wasn’t so aggressive. Fluffo humped pepper and pepper humped fluffo back. It was going back and forth. I guess pepper really didn’t like it because he started hiding under the kitchen stands where flu…[Read more]
