Thank you! She is home now!

They still don’t know the cause, and her blood PCV (packed cell volume) is still extremely low, so she’s still anaemic. PCV should be at least 35%. Under 30% is considered anaemic. On Thursday morning she was at 18% and today she only increased to 20%. The vet said that it’s the kidneys that communicate to the bone…[Read more]

This isn’t really something that is documented. Assuming you actually had salmonella or listeria, the only way for you to pass it your bunny would be via contact with bodily fluid or your poop. As a precaution, you would probably want to wash your hands thoroughly before feeding your bunny. You would probably want to avoid kissing your bunny too.…[Read more]

Oh wow! So did they ever determine whether or not it was the spider? How scary! I’m glad she seems to be doing better and can at least come home.

Thank you so much for your response, it has been really helpful and I just hope things will get better for him and us. Sorry I couldn’t reply earlier.

So Manchas got neutered today. We were both really nervous and scared. But everything went well. I’ve been noticing that he licks his wound. I see a little blood, but I’m trying  to prevent from h…[Read more]

I’m glad she gets to come home! 💗

Oh, I could do it then! Great idea! But my dad is up at 2:30 to give them more water, so I could to it at ten if I decide to. But you’re right, 11:15 would be better. And I won’t overdo the fruit. I will send my mom out again at 5am too.

I would not give them a lot of extra fruit, that could cause other problems and upset their gut. Extra veggies are hydrating though.

I can’t say how long it will take for the water to freeze, because I don’t know the specifics of the temp in the hutch.

If you go to bed at 11:15, why can’t you refill their water right before that?

Such good news!!!

Good news from the vet this morning. Luna is still doing well so they are happy for her to come home today. Still two and a half hours to wait but I’m very excited 😁

There’s no way of knowing if she’ll continue to improve or not, we just have to do what we can for her and hope for the best. I already stocked up on some fresh veggies this morning,…[Read more]

Well, would 10:00 pm be a good time? Bc I can’t get up at midnight, I go to bed at 11:15. I will just do it at 10. And I will try a larger bowl. I could hide fresh fruit for them to find, that would be moisture.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>I use wood pellets but I use them in a sifting litter tray. This means that most of the urine is running through and keeping their feet clean. I put a sprinkling of wood pellets in the bottom catch tray, and then a single layer of wood pellets in the sieve tray where they sit. They pull a lot of hay out of the rack…[Read more]

I realize this is a little bit of an old post now, but for a bit more info regarding guinea pigs and rabbits, it would most likely be fine to have them in the same room as long as they aren’t in the same cage or directly interacting. You also probably wouldn’t want them in side-by-side pens.  Transmission of Bordetella is typically from prolonged…[Read more]

If you have no other option, the safest thing would be to set an alarm and check on them at some point during the night (maybe about midnight?).

A larger bowl will take longer to freeze, so if you fill a large crock with warm water that will buy you more time.

I have two buns one had a small case of GI stasis on Tuesday and gave him simethecone 1ml every hour for only 3 hours and he was feeling better instantly, he’s eating now regularly and running around
