Im happy to hear you guys still have a bun in your life. Is your daughter into rabbits now too? 🙂

Have the vets put Daisy on an antibiotic yet?

I’d discuss with vet starting on penG injections for perhaps 2 weeks and see if helps with any discomfort she may be experiencing. And possibly shrink the abscess.

It also gives you chance see how sh…[Read more]

Hi BunzRus! This thread is very old (2014). If you have a question about your bunny, I would suggest starting a new thread so people do not get confused.

Same!! So worried about my bunny. She’s 4 months and doesn’t usually act up, but she jumped out of my arms! I was so scared. Don’t remember how she landed, but I’m bringing her to the vet for an appointment in a month. Will she be okay?? I’m so scared!

About Zelda: this happened way before we started bonding so I don’t think that has heavy connection but generally yes. She’s excited for hay, eats it normally, poops are normal. She’ll munch down on these feeds with different leaves and flowers we get from Happy Bunny Club. I was aiming to get them checked out before bonding but we don’t have ma…[Read more]

Thanks for the responses! It’s been 17 hours or so and still no signs or symptoms of poisoning which is good. Really appreciate the comments as I’m a first time rabbit owner 🙂

Regarding the fourth date, that doesn’t sound too bad! Not sure what will happen, but not fighting is good.

About her not eating veggies: is her hay consumption good? Is she pooping normally? Bonding can be very stressful for rabbits, so it might be good to take a day or two off just to make sure she’s OK. If this has been a slow change, you…[Read more]

Hi @achai ! I see you got some replies on this question in your thread, so I will lock this one to avoid confusion!

What type of prognosis does the vet give? Is she generally in good health now aside from the abscess?  I had a younger bunny with a dental abscess that we treated aggressively and it didn’t return (he passed away of other causes though). He actually recovered really well from the abscess cleaning and molar removal, I think the teeth were really…[Read more]

I agree. If it has been this long, then you are likely in the clear. Bunnies have been known to nibble on so-called toxic plants and have no ill effects. This isn’t to say they can’t be poisoned, but it doesn’t seem to happen very often.

Oh yes, I remember Link and Zelda! 🙂

I don’t know if it is a “common” practice in the UK. It isn’t terribly common in the US, but it seems more and more vets are willing to try such treatment when surgery isn’t a good option. Obviously, it is preferable to surgically remove the infection and any affected bone. But there are definitely cases when…[Read more]

So I tried their fourth date — would’ve been their fifth if I did a session yesterday but didn’t have time — I don’t know how to go about it. We had it go on longer till it seemed they weren’t interested in each other.

First was the usual deal, some nipping, a little fight, some chasing and grunting. At some point Shadow went to hump Zelda but…[Read more]

Hey, Bam.

Good memory!

Yeah, Link was an absolute trooper.

We lost him almost exactly two years ago. Link and Navi were incredibly close and Navi had to go in for surgery after eating crayons and developing an obstruction. Link didn’t cope with her going away, even temporarily and he just… Gave up, for lack of a better term.

Even after him…[Read more]

Frances Harcourt Brown says acute plant poisoning usually manifests with symptoms within 6 hours sfter ingestion. If your rabbits havent shown any signs of poisoning after 12 hours, you should be in the clear. From what I can find, Strelizia (bird of paradise) isnt very poisonous.

Of course keep a close eye on appetite and poop, encourage…[Read more]

Hello! So my rabbit also ate a few leaves of the birds of paradise plant. Did your bunnies end up developing any symptoms? I’m worried and I’m not sure if I should bring my pet in for a check up at the animal hospital.

I remember you well, especially Link. I actually often think of him and how amazingly good aim he had with just one eye.

From what I recall, one of your vets was Livia Benato, possibly also Richard Saunders? Vets like that zid trust

This is a very difficult decision. I had a bun with very bad teeth, luckily never any abscesses, but severe teeth…[Read more]

The other bun that Ouisie is taking about is our boy Zelda, who we lost in 2013. He’s the bun in my profile picture and we were very active members of the forum back then. As well as with our other buns, Link (he lost an eye during his battles with E. Cuniculi, and Navi)

Daisy isn’t showing any signs of pain while eating. Anything we offer her,…[Read more]
