I would get a really long runner to put down so your bunny has a path to make it out into the living area. I assume you probably have an area rug further into the room that your bunny could potentially get to.

Otomax contains an antibiotic and a steroid. The other one is an anti-fungal. Not sure what the Otomax is for. Sometimes vets will prescribe it for an ear infection when there is a lot of swelling. You want to use that with caution though. Topical steroids are not as bad as oral steroids, but they are still steroids.

Yeah, he’s probably feeling the hormone swings right now.

Thank you for answering..yeah that’s why I wanted to bring up the angry ness cause I was worried ge could have an underlying health issue but like I said he just got nutered on Sunday and I’ve heard it’s normal for rabbits to be like that for a few weeks for hormones to calm down..he breaths fast but its not like he’s having trouble breathing at all

My bun Dorian is a big hay eater, he often eats around 3 large handfuls of hay (which is roughly his size) a day… however, if we were talking pounds I don’t think even he could put away 10lbs of hay! That said like Dana I generally only worry if I don’t see him in there munching several times a day especially if he has a fresh batch, if its…[Read more]

How does the skin look? I understand we’re having issues with posting images on the forum right now, but if you’re able to upload a photo to Google Drive or another website and post a sharing link, our active members can take a look.

I’m not familiar with the first two listed treatments, but I am quite experienced with ringworm and I don’t think…[Read more]

Time and appropriate flooring — rabbits do not have pads on the bottom of their feet like dogs/cats, so they are always wearing fuzzy socks. You can imagine that if you were always wearing fuzzy socks, you’d be less likely to explore and would be more challenged in exercising on slippy floors. Rabbits who are housed on slippy floors are at risk…[Read more]

There can be a post-neuter craze due to hormonal adjustments following a neuter which can exacerbate hormonal behavior (e.g., more aggression). That being said, it’s important that you also consider whether this change in behavior is an expression of stress due to a health or frustration/boredom issue. Since he is eating, drinking, and pooping…[Read more]

To confirm/clarify, by colic, did you veterinarian mean GI stasis? Colic is not a term typically used and from what quick googling shows, it may be a reference to GI stasis. Is the vet you saw rabbit experienced exotic? What medicine were you given (Critical Care is not a medicine, but a food)?

It is natural that her poops are smaller if she is…[Read more]

She ate all her dinner greens and her pellets, I gave her a little extra and she ate that all up too. She’s been proving her ability to chew her cardboard box louder than Dorian which is confusing him. I am trying to keep his schedule fairly intact and give them both equal attention. Do the original buns sometimes have issues with a little…[Read more]

Thanks for replying! My clinic doesn’t have any bun vaccines at the moment, but I’ll definitely look around. I also didn’t know anything about this vaccine that covers both RHVD2 and myxomatosis! ♡

Hmmm, I am not sure! All the maps I know about are of North America only, but I will keep an eye out for global maps. There must be some, because the outbreak is also happening in parts of Africa.

If your area has myxo I wonder if you could eventually get the vaccine that covers all three viruses (both RHDV strains and myxo)?

That’s wonderful 🙂

I just love the transition when they start settling in at home. <3

I agree with trying something more fragrant, and offering the same thing repeatedly, even if he doesn’t take it at first. My buns don’t care much for spinach in general. Big hits with my crew are cilantro, carrot tops, fennel, and dandelion.
