des replied to the topic Personality change on antibiotics in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 4 years, 6 months ago
Okay, thank you so much. Unfortunately last time I cancelled my regular vet appointment because I ended up having to take him to the emergency vet for the antibiotics so my regular vet isn’t aware of what’s happening.
I did call and give them a run down on his symptoms and they said I should be okay to keep the current appointment I have but if…[Read more]

Hey all 👋
I’m after some advice on one of my bunnies. Every now and again he ends up with huge clumps of poo clogged at his backside. It takes so much delicate cleaning and it makes me so sad that my busy work life means I neglect to keep on top of it before it becomes an issue 🙁
When we initially had him from 12 weeks old, we were told by the…[Read more]

Chest x-rays would be the surest way to check his lungs. Its difficult to hear chest sounds on a rabbit even with a stethoscope.
An ear infection can be suspected if the external ear canal seems irritated plus if the bun f ex scrratches its ears a lot and shakes his head. Skull x rays as a rule tequires anesthesia/sedation and its not without…[Read more]

attemptedquad started the topic How much hay?!? in the forum DIET & CARE 4 years, 6 months ago
I was looking up a rabbit boarding/bonding service and found a post that they made that said bunnies should eat 2-3x their weight in hay A DAY. To me, this is entirely baffling. I fill up my bunnies litter boxes multiple times a day, so they always have hay and I never go through nearly this much hay. 2 of my boys are 10 pounds, so for the 2 of…[Read more]

Yes I have an appointment on Tuesday to check on him again because I just felt like something still wasn’t right.
do you know what testing they’ll do for him in order to figure out what’s wrong? To be very honest I only have like $700 right now and I know x-rays alone are like $300 I just want to be somewhat prepared because need be I can borro…[Read more]

I think you should contact your vet. If he’s breathing faster the infection could have reached his lungs. A concurrent ear infection should also be ruled out. There are connections between the nose-mouth and middle ears where bacteria can travel. An ear infection is very painful and the bun should get a painkiller. If its the lungs, you can get a…[Read more]

Lol. I know right? I wonder if it has to do with having a good vantage point? I notice when I have my buns out, especially Toesie, they like seeking out a high point. And, what better high point than your shoulder?
Though, they have also enjoyed standing on my head, face, and neck… 😑

2/17/22 updates:
went in for a follow up. He’s been back to eating pooping normally last week. Todays follow up was for his lungs and blood panel. Kidney and calcium values are now within normal range but his lungs haven’t really improved much despite the antibiotics that he’s been on. His incisors also have pretty much grown back to their origi…[Read more]

Back to bonding! I’m just going to keep updating this thread to have a record of the steps we took and in case it can help anybody else.
I’m heartbroken about Freckles passing last week, but I’m not letting that stop me from moving forward in making all of the bunnies friends.
On Saturday we took the visual barrier down and put everybun in their…[Read more]

I have been keeping an eye out for another bun for a companion for Dorian. My shelter has been pretty scarce in the single lady bun department, so I decided to see how a got along with a couple of the boys. He has a playdate tomorrow with a young boy named Theo. Theo is tiny, but has a lot of…[Read more]

This isn’t unusual. Sometimes bunnies just suddenly discover something is “fun”. Can you use a litter screen to deter digging? Then all you would need is a way to anchor to litter box down.

I’m sure he will be fine. If you are worried, you could wear gloves when you apply the cream. But I really think that is overkill.

bumpybunny replied to the topic My bunny started being destructive.. in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 4 years, 6 months ago
has he been neutered? rabbits that arent spayed/neutered can be very destructive.
does he have a lot of toys to play with? sometimes rabbits will do these type of things if they are bored. try giving him some new toys to keep him busy.
