Saline solution is a good idea, sounds like a much better general medicine than gentamicin. Thank you so much 🙏 It could be from a tooth infection, but could it also be from something getting in her eye? I was taking out hay one day for her and she shoved her face in my hand 😅 I think a piece got in her eye, I saw it there for a day or two before…[Read more]

I’d try to rinse the eye with saline eye wash for humans. I have small single-dose plastic vials with saline, which are easy to use for the purpose of eye rinsing, plus of course very hygienic since you only use each vial once.  Wipe off the goo with clean and soft tissues/compresses, use several if you need to. Fucidine drops/ ointment is…[Read more]

Yep, we had it checked.

We are getting him tested again in January, just to make sure it hasn’t reoccurred, but his urine tests showed 3 weeks ago that it was gone.

He is peeing as much as he’s drinking, so I don’t think any of its getting stuck or lost anywhere.

We’ve had everything checked with the vet, two detailed urine sample tests, and…[Read more]

Yes, how many times did I thought of sneaking Ollie away while I was pet-sitting for her… Poor bun 🙁 Sadly we got into an argument because I told her that the situation wasn’t safe: neither for me nor for him.

He escaped his tiny hutch as soon as you opened a crack to feed him. Then he bolted through the house like a maniac, and I couldn’t get…[Read more]

What a nightmare situation, this is awful! I’m so sorry for your loss 🙁

Binky free sweet Loki…

RHDV2 crazies! We’ve all got it!!!!

You did the right thing! Don’t worry!

Baby rabbits do not truly bond, so in addition to preventing pregnancy, it’s important to separate before hormones kick in and trigger fighting:

My understanding is that if the rabbit is drinking a lot but not peeing a lot, that is cause for concern. And drinking a lot can be a symptom of other issues, but the drinking in itself isn’t bad.

Is the vet 100% sure the UTI is cleared?

I don’t have the exact measurements, but he drinks a bowl and a bit each day. About 6 months ago he only drank about 1/3 of that. However, that article is reassuring, thank you for linking it.

His urine is coloured, and the vet thought it was a good healthy colour.

We were just alarmed at the sudden change in the amount he drank, which made s…[Read more]

Yep, his teeth have been checked, they’re all fine, and yes his kidney function has been checked, first thing we did.

As long as there’s no risk to his health from drinking so much I’m not concerned, I was just worried that it would lead to issues further down the line.

Rabbits drink a surprisingly high volume of water. Have you gotten a measurement of actually how much he drinks in a day? https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Diet#Water

What color is his urine typically? If it is indeed excessive water intake, the urine will be more clear rather than colored, since the body is taking in more water than necessary.
