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]

I thought cyniclomyces was part of the rabbit gut microbiome. Just like anything else, it can be opportunistic… but it doesn’t sound like this is the case here. I mean, at least by what you’re describing. I didn’t read through everything. Have you considered a probiotic?

I agree. It’s probably gastric distress as Wick suggested. I wouldn’t be too alarmed if he is still eating and pooping. You could always try giving him some simethicone though to see if that helps work the gas out. Since this has been ongoing for a few days, it does make you wonder if something new (but consistent, like a new food) has been introduced.

I’m glad she is doing better! Thank you for the update! I’m sure this information will be useful to someone in the future. If they do a search, it should pop up in the results. 🙂

When I first bonded my rabbits, the girl was peeing outside the box for a while. She would even go back to the closet where I bonded them and mark all over! I tried different litters and boxes.. but it was probably just the new bond and time helped. I think it was several weeks then she suddenly started using the box all the time again.

Glad to hear the buns are doing good in the temporary placements! It’s also great Cooper and Bonnie stopped bickering.

Not much of an update but so I can help myself keep track: we did day 3 of stress bonding today. About 50 min in the car. They didnt lean together as much as I’d hoped, but they were still forced to be against each other. No fighting or nipping that I saw. At times Ruby was half on top of him trying to get out.

How many days of these carrier only…[Read more]

Glad to hear they are doing well.

Stressful doesn’t begin to describe it.  Many break downs thinking I was going to have to give critters up!

Hey, maybe we should start a data base of members that would be able to help in similar situations?  Location and what critters we could care for??
