Activity

Id not be concerned. Offer her fresh hay and wate -simetimes they eat more if you hand feed.. If you give her greens, serve them freshly rinsed and dripping wet. Pineapple isnt toxic. It has sugar, but unless she pigged out on a huge part of a pineapple,  I think she’ll be fine.

It does sound great! It’s very troe that ointments make the fur less fluffy and protective, which makes sore hocks more difficult to treat. Its great news that it only seems to be callousing, not open sores! 

Thank you so much!  That’s really reassuring to hear.  🙂  And Teddy will be so thrilled we don’t have to pick him up every day anymore!  😉

Unfortunately the link doesn’t send me to a photo. How are things now?

Hard to tell based on the photo angle, but there are some flemmie-like shapes there. Depending on age, he may do some more growing.

It’s great to hear he is otherwise doing well and the concern regarding creams does actually make sense. Stable weight especially is a great sign as well. Thanks for the update!!

Hi everyone!  Just wanted to update briefly — I kept up some different ointments until we took Teddy to the vet on Friday.  She actually said she didn’t think the skin looked broken, just balding at this point.  And that she would actually not suggest ointments/creams, since it tends to keep the skin too soft and can accelerate the fur loss (t…[Read more]

Thank you so much, DanaNM!!  I really appreciate your thoughts on this.  And I’m so sorry for what you went through with your awful landlord!  I’m so glad you have your own place now.

I 100% identified with these feelings:

With Bun Jovi I worry constantly, even though he’s seemingly doing great. I was just telling my husband that every day whil…[Read more]

I’m so so sorry. 🙁 I agree with Bam that Padfoot was very ill.

I had an almost identical thing happen to me with my bun Moose (completely different lead up and circumstances, but also a young bun with a host of problems). I don’t think you caused his death with the Critical Care, or any action you took. I think he was already starting to…[Read more]

I am very sorry you lost Padfoot, and in such a traumatic way.

I think you did do what you could. You should feed Critical Care, without food in the system, a rabbit goes downhill very, very fast.

I think Padfoot was very ill.

Rabbits can get vascular strokes. It’s probably often overlooked. Treatment is supportive care, like you did. One…[Read more]

Yes he is an adult bun.

It could subside, since he’s only been neutered 3 weeks (it takes time for the hormones to die down) and it is early spring right now, when even neutered rabbit’s become more sexually interested (“March hare syndrome”). I would block off the bed and keep it so for several weeks in the hope that he forgets about it.

For a rabbit, the bed has a…[Read more]

Is he full grown? The ears and face shape say Flemmie.
