This totally makes sense…

So far I have not tried any of the antibiotic… I wanted to introduce the meloxicam first and see the effects. This way I can know what drug is causing what etc.

This was the only form of azitromycin I could get. And the pharmacies here are more like convenience stores and less like a place where they can create a…[Read more]

Good point, wouldn’t want resistance. It’s so tough, the vet wanted to wait on antibiotics but his nose kept looking wet so I made the call to order them. I tried to call tonight and she is out of town for 2 weeks :/ So I suppose I’ll keep giving them (assuming they can give me more since I’ve wasted a bunch already) and halt bonding. Just gave…[Read more]

Hmmm, yeah i can’t really advise on the meds, but you should check with the vet. My concern would be that if there was an infection, it could become antibiotic resistant with only doing a partial course of meds.

Yes, it’s a lot. I’m debating stopping the meds for Ruby. I don’t know if it’s worth how she is acting right now considering she probably doesn’t have symptoms (I thought under her nose was wet one day but not sure)

I could probably stop the side swaps and bring Maxwell down to a bigger area in the living to play each day..

For the dates, they…[Read more]

Honestly, I’d prob pause dates and side swaps while you handle their meds etc (but maybe keep doing litter box swaps). I think it just may help Ruby to have a bit less daily handling, and  I think it’s probably just a lot for all of you to handle! It’s generally not recommended to bond while either rabbit has a medical concern, so that would be…[Read more]

Yeah I definitely agree with you.

it’s hard, I try looking this things up online “bite wound” “lesion” “swelling” on rabbits and it’s impossible to find any pictures to compare it to. My vet is full this Saturday so he’ll be going on the 13th. Every day I’ll be checking to make sure the size, shape, etc hasn’t changed. I hope he’s okay.

I’m…[Read more]

It’s possible that it was a nip that is infected, thus swelling though the actual entry wound has closed. It could also be something separate. For rabbits, sometimes we will have small lumps from an ingrown hair or other innocuous reasons, while also there being lumps for serious reasons that need treatment. Since it’s impossible to diagnose…[Read more]

Well I guess the meds are just too gross, I couldn’t really get anybun to eat them in other food. So stuck with the force feeding which Ruby is not doing well from. Max bounces back, but she is acting depressed. She has slowed down eating but not stopped completely so I think OK for now.

I put them on a short date today, but now Ruby is afraid of…[Read more]

That’s awesome! It really is so wonderful when they start to build their bond!

Thank you very much for the input. I think that is the best idea. I already have them on the floor now and they are doing well so I don’t want to rush it. I can deal with it, its not really that bad.  So we will stay in the bath room for a while longer! They are starting to get really cure with each other 🙂

Thanks all. I’ll try to respond to everyone.

You have some parallels! We tried the two cages about a foot apart for several months. She never got used to our female dwarf, who is apathetic to all the aggression. Both are now in their own spaces (one lives free roamed in our oldest child’s room, the other free roam in our…[Read more]

Yeah, the hay had a lot of fluff seeds in many parts of the hay and one of my buns was sneezing but she’s enjoying them! That’s good to know, my buns usually eat the dandelion stem and the flower itself, they enjoy it a lot and I’ve never fed them the seeds before.

I’ve been doing that today actually, they seem to like the older hay and they…[Read more]
