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]

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]

Glad things are going well for you! 😊

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… 😑

Happy 9 years to your two fluffy bunsters!

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]
