yes, the vet did two x-ray scan one from the top and one on the side, they gave closer observation saying my bunny teeth root has overgrown just a bit but it is hitting her nasal spot which causes her eyes to get watery,, would her overgrown teeth root affect her in the future? The vet told me her overall condition is fine though and she does not…[Read more]

yes, they did two x rays one from the top and side,, they said thankfully the jaw alignment is alright but my bunny teeth root has overgrown by a little and from the scan maybe like a 2 cm estimate? but it is hitting her nasal spot which causes her eye to get watery and I don’t really think her URI is back again because she doesn’t have any…[Read more]

thanks, I will try using a warm towel and see if it works and I could try calling the vet tomorrow but what type of questions should I ask them about this?

As long as she eats some pellets and lots of hay, she wont get nutritional deficits. Its good to keep an eye on her weight though. I weigh my bun in a bowl on kitchen scales. Ideally you want to weigh a bun every week and write down the weight. If you find she’s losing weight sth isnt right.

Small poops first thing in the morning probably means…[Read more]

Yes he checked front teeth and molars using an otoscope. It’s great she’s eating hay but I’m worrying she won’t get enough nutrients without pellet. And that strange behavior of being inactive when I’m sleeping is worrying me too since it’s followed in the morning by a batch of small poops

Such lovely pumpkins. I really miss carving them from my time in the US. They’re just so expensive here I can’t justify the cost. Since we’re in a different house this year I wasn’t sure if we’d get trick or treaters. We used to get 30-40 kids at our last place so I bought 3 packs of chocolates as a precaution. We didn’t have a single kid, which…[Read more]

Depending on how the roots are, the condition may or may not be treatable. Sometimes you just have to treat the symptoms and manage as best you can. The condition in that scenario is chronic. Did the vet confirm tooth roots to be the problem via x-ray?

I do agree with Bam that you should rule out a recurring URI.

ok, me again. Things have been going great the last few days, Friday we did about 3 hours and they at happily and did groom each other. There was a little bit of nipping and grooming standoffs but those were resolved with Buns grooming violet then going to eat more hay and Violet doing he same. The only thing that was new was when Violet was…[Read more]

I’m sorry this is such a rough time for you and Daisy. I don’t have any of the exact same experiences, but I’ve cared for some chronically ill and very sick little buns. It helped me to always remember that we are doing it out of love, and sometimes tough love is necessary. My buns would not be pleased with me during treatment, but afterward I did…[Read more]

That also sounds really positive, especially given the location change-up!

It’s OK and normal (and not a bad thing) to be a little overly cautious in the beginning phases. When they go nose to nose I like to do lots of petting at first to help them think the other is grooming (and sometimes that will lead to them actually grooming each other).…[Read more]

Thanks for the advice Dana.

We did another bonding session today. The location didn’t go as planned and they both accidentally escaped into the semi-neutral lounge when I was trying to get them into the kitchen for the date.

I called my partner and he helped me stage the lounge so it was safe and as neutral as possible while I controlled the…[Read more]

Cuni complete is an extruded pellet, so it weighs roughly half as much as Oxbow pellets do per volume. (I have control weighed these 2 brands against each other). As you are saying, its weight that matters. 2/3 cup is still a lot, though, unless she’s a big rabbit.

Just the other day I read in a Facebook group that Versele Laga has changed the…[Read more]

I only have one anecdotal story – a British bun that was bit by a fox and one of the bite wounds developped into a facial abscess. He was prescribed manukka honey in the wound (the wound had penetrated the cheek so the honey leaked into his mouth, which he apparently appreciated). The owner had to keep the wound open- which was difficult because…[Read more]

Sorry in advance for typos and autocorrects… On mobile and I’m terrible at proof reading.

Nope, we’re not to flush the wound, or dress it. Just apply the medical grade manuka honey twice a day (the email said once, but when I collected Daisy, they said twice) and occasionally give her a wipe around the site before applying more of its gunky.…[Read more]

Mucusy poop is better than no poop! Mucus is somewhat common after stasis. Keep up the supportive care, hopefully she keeps improving!

I have a failed trio. :p

That sounds like a very positive first date! I think it’s fine to keep going in the same spot, or try a larger space if you want (as long as it’s still neutral). I actually prefer larger spaces and have usually had better luck with them. So feel free to try both and see what seems to work best for your two!
