Yeah I have… thank you all!

Its frustrating when you get more accurate information and better advice from an online forum than you do from a system of ‘skilled veterinarians’…

Her eyes don’t look like they’re bulging at all… and she isn’t keeping the bad eye closed as much this morning or guarding it as much. She still has the same amount…[Read more]

Given that she has recently turned 1, weight gain is not entitling surprising if you’re feeding the same amount as you were a few months ago. At a year old most rabbits have stopped growing so they don’t need quite as much food as before. The easiest thing to do is to reduce the amount of pellets you give, it doesn’t sound like you’re giving much…[Read more]

You have received some wonderful advice here. I just wanted to add in regards to the eyes if they look like they are bulging out, you may need to get them pressure tested (not every vet has the tool for this). If the pressure in the eye is too high they can rupture, the eye may need to be removed if the pressure is too high to prevent rupture. I…[Read more]

Maybe you could foster a bun thats too young to be spayed/neutered? Then you could get to know that bun properly before you tried bonding him/her? My bun was 3.5 months when I got her. She turns 6 months next week, which is the earliest my vet wants to spay her. (I’m quite nervous about this, of course).

I tried calculating the dosage. I have dog fenbendazole of the same strength, 10%. According to the label, 1 ml contains 100 mg fenbendazole.

If you give 0.15 ml, it contains 15 mg fenbendazole. (100 ×0.15= 15).

This is a bit low for a bun that weighs 1.35 kilos. Standard dosage of fenbendazole for e cuniculi is 20 mg per kilo body weight. A…[Read more]

Thank you so much everyone! I feel so much better after hearing your stories and advice. I would definitely find an airline service that would allow him to be with me! I wouldn’t let him go in cargo, I read that’s even harder and no matter how kind people may be, I wouldn’t trust my bun with strangers not qualified to handle him. I am relieved and…[Read more]

Here are some photos of her eyes, head tilt, and the medication I have been giving her.
I haven’t figured out how to add them straight in my post but I uploaded them so you can just click the links.

I know.. thats the most frustrating part… essentially having to be her vet. Its scary when you’re self diagnosing as well as getting the correct medications and calculating the doses.

I tried to attach a photo here but it wouldn’t let me so Ill see if I can figure out how to add photos.

This is what he gave me:

Thank you so much for your kind words.. its been a rough few weeks.

If I do choose to make the trip, I can stay the night there in a hotel or something – which would be okay if I can find somewhere that will let me stay with a pet.

Im also wondering if dosage is correct… its so frustrating trying to be my own vet.

Thanks for your support I…[Read more]

You’re right… its just so hard to watch her be so uncomfortable and disoriented. Shes so sweet and small… she doesn’t deserve this.

I think there is tissue inflammation and it could be the reason for her head tilt.. Ive been noticing today that she has been keeping her worst eye closed and that is the same side that is tilted down… I think…[Read more]

I have and I found some but I just don’t to now if it safe or not so I was looking for other people who know of one that is

I don’t know of any pet strollers without at least a mesh window, even the hard-sided ones.

I hate that you are essentially having to self-diagnose the problem. That must be very frustrating. I can see how it makes you feel defeated! As the others said though, you are most definitely a good bunny mom. If you hadn’t taken her home, it’s likely she would not have ended up in someone else’s home. At least this way, she knows love.

I agree…[Read more]

I just Googled and maybe 1,5 cup is like 110 grams of lettuce. Can this be right? 🤔

Aaah thank you for the picture !! I need to have a look at my measuring spoon.

Its weird because as I have seen in other bunnies I don’t give mine a lot at all and it still seems too much. Is it really like that, they should eat so so little pellets? Ugh

If you touch the spine? Do you press it just gently or harder? Sorry it it’s a weird question but I think this is the main thing that’s confusing me. If I should just pat it or literally press it to try to feel.

Yep, i give her a little less now and I will weight her in a week. It’s just as she really looooves her pellets and begs for them all…[Read more]
