Hey everyone, I’m P.

I’m in a similar situation to Bunbuns.

I adopted a male bunny after seeing a post saying that his owner loved him, but she no longer had the space/time for him after a couple months, and that she would send him to a shelter is he wasn’t adopted. I adopted him to provide the little on with a loving home. Everything was…[Read more]

I was very nervous about getting my bunny spayed but I did it because the risk of getting cancer and dying from it was more than the risk of dying when getting spayed. 60 % of unspayed female rabbits get it over the age of 3 and 80 % by the time they are 6. Of course, there is always a chance of them not getting it but it is very unlikely. I don’t…[Read more]

It seems like a very low dose. 0.1 ml ×0.5 mg/ml loxicom gives a dose of 0.05 mg meloxicam.

Normal dose for a rabbit is 0.3-06 mg meloxicam (the active substance in loxicom) per kilo body weight. For severe pain you can give up to 1.5 mg per kilo body weight and day.

The dosage us 0.1ml twice daily. I got it mixed up.

I guess I’ll give it a try in the near future..  with the fifth session in trying to take steps back and reducing time they spent near each other hasn’t really made a difference.. neither does changing locations.. they do the same thing.. nipping, biting, scuffles, chasing.. there was Shadow trying to hump that could’ve lead to improvements but I…[Read more]

As LBJ says, rabbits can grunt. I had a very vocal bun who would grunt if displeased.

Oh yes, apples seem to be all the rage. Isn’t that weird?

Yeah the doctor said we could do an xray but it would be 80 dollars and thats kinda expensive so she said after 10 days we will see how the bunny is doing and go from there. I asked her about uterine cancer or anything like that and she said that is not very likely but we plan to spay her soon just in case!

That must be some UTI if there were blood clots. Did they do any additional tests to make sure the blood isn’t coming from her uterus? An infection inside the uterus can cause blood clots too, which is what I mentioned earlier as a possibility.

It looks like calcium to me. Calcium in rabbit pee is normal. They readily excrete excess calcium through their urine.

Humans are not very good at assessing risk. Take fear of flying as an example. So it is understandable that you might feel like it is “risky” either way. But as Dana pointed out… the risk of cancer is a MUCH higher than the chance of a complication due to spaying. Is it possible for a rabbit to die during surgery? Yes, it is possible. But with…[Read more]

Was it a cough? Or a grunt? Rabbit grunts sound weird sometimes.

They think she has a bladder infection! So antibiotics for 10 days and we will see how she’s doing on friday or saturday! she has only passed blood clots once since the first time and i haven’t seen bloody urine either!

Yes, how did it go at the appointment? Any update?
