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]

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.

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.

So sorry for your loss, hope it gets easier with those two new buns. And they look soooo soft!

The timing is just weird I guess.. it only happened once he actually started taking the antibiotics. He’s not on painkillers, just the antibiotics and he’s taking Azithromycin

Okay, so after I applied the Clindamycin lotion to my face this morning, I just washed my hands and then did his litter box, refilled his hay/pellets, and gave him his treat. He will probably be totally fine, right?

No he’s only on antibiotics- no pain killer. I also feel like the antibiotics aren’t working. He’s still sneezing and his nose is still whistling and its been 8/10 days of the antibiotics.

The antibiotics are suppressing his appetite which I was told could happen. At first he would eat nothing and now he’s eating most of his veggies, some pellets…[Read more]

i called them earlier and now they’re saying they dont have any pain medicine that would be safe for rabbits. i’ll call again and ask if they have metacam but im assuming they dont.

i checked her incision and it looks like it has some scabs is that normal? im trying to add a picture on here but it isnt working. if she doesnt eat on her own by…[Read more]

Keep feeding grass if that’s what she wants. You should also syringe feed some pellet mush before you go to bed tonight, if she hasn’t started eating properly by then.

As I wrote in your other thread, I think you should try and get pain medication for her. That she was groggy and unwilling to eat yesterday was probably due to the pain meds she’d…[Read more]

I think you should call your vet and ask for a prescription for Meloxicam (Metacam, loxicom are common brand names). Tell them exactly what you’ve said here, that she’s not eating, not moving around much and that you’ve heard her chop her teeth. Not all rabbits “bounce back” after a spay. Some do, but others don’t and what you’re describing are…[Read more]

I agree that unless the antibiotics are inducing a GI-disagreeing reaction, it is unlikely the antibiotics. The act of being forcefed antibiotics can be stressful/anxiety provoking, in addition to feeling ill over having an infection to begin with.

What antibiotic were you prescribed?

Since rabbit socialization works in a hierarchical fashion (i.e., dominant vs. submissive roles), it is not unusual for grooming behavior to be skewed; that being said, being bullied/excluded is not a healthy dynamic either. Does it appear they are all truly a bonded trio or are the remaining pair simply tolerating Fawkes? How are interactions…[Read more]
