LBJ10 – Yes, her bun is on probiotics but they’re not helping.

Maria, there are lots of different puppy pads you can use. Those basic blue ones are really thin and not that absorbent (I’m using them for a baby bun who’s only a month old and they are not absorbing properly – the urine just leaks right through), and buns tend to destroy them for…[Read more]

I’m very sorry for your loss.

She really was very lucky to get such loving parents.

Binky free, Rydeen.

That’s a really great idea BZOO! I think we used to have a database of rescues as well, but a lot of the links aren’t valid anymore.

That’s great they did well in the car! Most buns don’t seem to get overly stressed from car travel, which is nice. I used to be so afraid of driving my buns anywhere, but after driving cross country with mine I’m a lot less worried about it! LOL

I think dryer or car is up to you. Do you think they did better in one over the other? I also think…[Read more]

Thank you so much for the update! Wonderful news and great info for other rabbit owners!

Thanks for the nice and informative responses. We are still sad but a little relieved now.

@DanaNM Yes she was spayed by the group we adopted her from.

I have a main gift which is the Christmas tokihut forage mat this year. Then 3 other gifts for each of my bunnies. I also don’t have a job yet because of age but I save my bday and Christmas money for this. I am planning on spending about 65 dollars this year.

That’s a great idea! Thanks!

I’m so sorry for your loss. 🙁

How lucky she was to have you after such a traumatic past. <3

The Oxbow Digestive Support tabs are perfectly fine — like many other commercial-made goodies for rabbits, they may contain ingredients that, in large quantities would not be great, but in small amounts as designed by good-quality companies like Oxbow, they rarely bring about issues in rabbits.

For what reason specifically were these…[Read more]

Thanks, Bam. I saw the article already. That’s why my heart is telling me that something is not right regarding his treatment. He needs to be assessed again. His poop definitely not watery, its a mushy poop, his bottom is clean though. It’s a mystery.

I made an appointment for Saturday.

Hi DanaNM,

Thank you for you reply.

The behaviour I was seeing the netural was them both seeking each other out to sit/lie next too. With Basil(boy) he was also flopping alot something he didn’t do in previous bonding attempts.

They would also both groom each other but Coco would request the most and also give the most. Coco was my original bun…[Read more]

Both are great bunny greens, ribwort plantain is very practical because it grows throughout most of winter. I found an especially beautiful specimen last spring in one of my pallet collars (I grow most vegs in pallets collars), for rabbit purposes I transplanted it to a big pot where its still thriving =D

Broadleaf plantain is a sturdy plant that…[Read more]

Rabbits don’t really get pneumonia from stress, but stress can aggravate a pre-existing condition or make the rabbit more prone to illness. Silent pneumonia isn’t uncommon in rabbits. It will as a rule show up on chest x rays.

From what I can find, cyniclomyces is often found in diarrhea in rabbits, which doesn’t mean that it causes diarrhea. I’m…[Read more]

Yes! When she was a baby she and 2 other babies got what I assumed is the Nest Box eye. Their eyes were crusty with what looked like a little pus. We caught it right away and would use a warm wet cloth to clean the eyes. If I remember right it took 3-4 days for it to completely go away. As for her eyelashes, I will Have to check when I get home.…[Read more]

DanaNM, I am also confused. Initially they said his does not have any ova/parasites/yeast growth. Then vet talked to a specialist outside of my province and that specialist recommended nystatin. And they think he has mild pneumonia because of ?stress. I am keeping my bunny in a quiet separate room. Now I am considering to have further…[Read more]

Thank you for the update! Wonderful news! And a very helpful post for others that might find themselves in a similar situation.

Thank you so much for the update and I’m so glad to read that she is doing better! This will definitely be useful for people in the future.

… If you wanted to upload any photos of your baby, please feel free 🙂

Hmm… they look like corneal abrasions. But it would be weird for it to be on both eyes. Usually it would just be an injury to one eye. How are her eye lashes? Curled in eyelids can cause problems with both eyes simultaneously.

Another thought… I found this article on MediRabbit:…[Read more]
