Thanks for thoughtfully caring for the rabbits you have opened your home and heart to! BinkyBunny forums rule 3-C states:

The vet did tell us to use a cone, and they gave us one as well. And when she did have it off, she would try to pull stitches, so I had to sit next to her and push her head away from the stitches a little tiny bit when she did it. And putting it on was worse. She don’t want to cooperate, and she just squirms and scratches and bites. All the motion…[Read more]

The trio has been hanging in there! Each day they all join together to find destruction, which hasn’t bee my favorite hobby of theirs. 😕 Thank you for asking! 🙂

Hopefully the next meeting goes just as well! And so long as we have pictures, I’m happy. 😉

Bunny should be restricted for a few days, but that doesn’t mean he has to be locked up 24/7. He can come out to explore. You just want to discourage him from running around too much and jumping on things.

Yes, e-collars are not recommended for rabbits. They are used when there is no other alternative and the rabbit won’t leave the sutures alone. I agree with Dana, see how she does without it. An alternative to the e-collar is to make a vest that covers the affected area out of an old sock.

I’m glad she’s back to normal!

If she’s due for a check-up anyway, I don’t think a vet visit could hurt. But it does sound like maybe the blanket could have had something to do with it.

You could also get advice from the vet on what to do in the future. They may be able to provide you with metacam and/or fluids to give at home as a first if she…[Read more]

Usually cones are not used for rabbits for this reason. They can be really stressful for the bun as well. Did your vet explicitly tell you to use one for her? Was she bothering her sutures? You could try taking it off periodically for her to eat the cecals, and then put it back on when she’s unsupervised?

The usual guidelines are to keep buns from jumping or running for at least a few days so they don’t pull suture.

If he hasn’t eaten by the evening before you go to bed you should syringe feed him. Some buns just need a syringe feeding or two to perk back up after anesthesia.

Hm, this is from my mobile, and I can see your profile picture fine. Have you tried logging in and back out of BB, and have you tried clearing all your internet cookies and cache? Are you on Apple products or Windows?

For the first couple days yes, restriction is recommended so he does not accidentally strain and disrupt the wound healing.

Okey thanx..yeah I keep parsley around as a treat anyway..I’ll definitely take a pic of his incision and keep an eye..I don’t have to keep him from running around, I assumed I would for atleast a few days cause he could hurt his incision or something if he jumps up?

You don’t have to keep him in an x-pen for several days, unless your vet specifically tells you to. And I do think he’ll eat, but its wise to be prepared for if he doesn’t want to eat. Some fragrant herbs (parsley, cilantro etc) can often help spark an appetite.

That was really insightful, thank you 😀 I hope your day is amazing <3

Hi @hiphopbunny! How’s the trio doing?

I suspected that he might be,  and his meeting with Theo enforced it. He just wants to be friends. It will be interesting how he does with the next bun, especially since that meeting is at the shelter. Hope the noise there doesn’t make him too nervous.

Don’t worry I will be posting all the updates! And…[Read more]

Alright thank you..yeah I was worried about him not eating as well..do you think it’s likey he won’t want food? Also he’s a free roam bunny usually, I should keep him in his Xpen right for a few days or not?

I am so sorry for your loss! 🙁 <3

Grief tends to makes us all look for someone to blame, someone to hatch all of the anger and pain on. And more often than not, that person who we choose to condemn is ourselves. “What if there was something I could’ve done better” “What if I hadn’t done _____,  would they would still be alive”, etc. You can’t…[Read more]

Oh wow! 😀 This is definitely exciting news! Dorian seems like the type of bun to get along with everyone, so it will be interesting to see who he ends up choosing. 🙂

Pictures documenting the journey will be much anticipated! 😉

Thank you for the kind response,I hope your day is wonderful! 😀
