  • Blood tests results are back and no surprises, he levels were off the charts positive for active EC infection. I might get treating his companion as a precaution and treat them regularly as a precaution too going forward now that it is confirmed he definitely has it. thankfully, he’s doing great otherwise but now treating…

    Sex hormones are not the only hormones that are affected by the increase in amount of daylight that occurs in spring. Plus, buns and humans, both male and female, have some testosterone production in their adrenal glands, and this production persists or gets exacerbated by castration. An increase in amount of daylight causes a decrease…
  • Springtime aggression - pinkiemarie 06/04/2023 01:18 PM
    My bunny Ben gets extremely aggressive with his bonded “brother” Wally every spring. Both rabbits are neutered. This goes on for several weeks. Ben is a 2 lb Polish and Wally is 7 lbs. Wally is very docile and refuses to defend himself. The aggression typically involves chasing and mounting and has led to Wally…
  • A week is a short time to treat for EC, the bendazoles are slow-acting drugs, plus the tissue inflammation that ec causes needs time to calm down. I’d ask about the albendazol/fenbendazol.  Fenbendazol (Panacur) is by far the most common choice for the treatment of ec, although I know of two buns (in the USA)…
  • Oh oops and she’s been getting treatment for about a week
  • I’m not sure why the vet chose albendazole. I will definitely be asking them about that tomorrow.
  • How long has she been getting treatment? Is there are reason for using albendazole instead of fenbendazole? Currently, fenbendazole is the standard for EC treatment. Unlike albendazole, fenbendazole can cross the blood-brain barrier.

    As you said, the vast majority of bunnies simply do not like being picked up or held. This doesn’t mean they can’t come to tolerate it though. You can work on getting her more used to being handled, but you may need to be more firm about it. When you grab her, you have to…
  • UPDATE: now she’s eating her veggies like crazy… she’s so back and forth every single day would it make sense to put her down IF she stops eating veggies? I’m beside myself right now, I just lost an 18 year old cat. I can’t imagine losing her too this is beyond difficult and exhausting.
  • Hello, my rabbit is almost 7 years old and has E Cuniculi, pneumonia and has been having seizures up until yesterday when she started seizure meds. She’s on Tribrissen (for pneumonia) but I’ve already had to stop them once because she just does not eat anything except some veggies here and there. It’s probably been…
  • Holding bunny - ToffeeBunny 06/03/2023 09:46 PM
    Hi, sorry if this is really long but it’s just something i need to kind of rant about. my bunny is 9 months old. She had a vet appointment today where she completely freaked out when she was about to be picked up and almost dropped off the table. This is when the vet said…
  • I have a 4 year old female (Opal) who’s 4 year old male partner passed away in December 2022. She immediately became depressed so I attempted to bond her with another male in January 2023. I attempted bonding every single day for multiple hours a day but ultimately this pairing did not work out because…
  • Yes! It was stressful but they were sooo cute!! It’s so hard to avoid the temptation, I have backtracked on what I had in my head so many times out of being impatient lol.
  • Reply To: What did my bunny poop out ? - DanaNM 06/03/2023 02:27 PM
    It looks like mucus to me (but agree it’s hard to tell from the photo). Mucus in poop is not uncommon with stasis as it can occur when their is irritation to the gut lining. It should resolve as her stasis resolves. What medications is she on?

  • Reply To: grain mites?? - LBJ10 06/03/2023 07:20 AM
    Hmm… I can’t imagine grain mites sticking around if their food source is eliminated. Are you sure they are grain mites? They would be super tiny and hard to see…. like less than half a millimeter. Are they attracted to the bedding/litter you are using? What does your bunny have in his enclosure?
  • grain mites?? - bumpybunny 06/03/2023 07:14 AM
    A while ago my hamster had a grain mite infestation in his enclosure. His cage is right next to my rabbits in my room. I got rid of them within a few weeks and also did a deep clean of my rabbits cage to be safe. Today I refilled my rabbits water and like 30…

    It’s hard to see in the photo. I would say it’s either mucus or a foreign material. Did you squish it to see if it… how should I say this… disintegrated between your fingers? If so, then it is mucus. If it’s a solid piece of something, then it’s foreign material that she ate and…

    I don’t watch too many rabbit youtubers, but I really love the Howcast series by Mary Cotter with Amy Sedaris. They are very helpful and informative videos, and I find them to be very trustworthy! I trust Mary Cotter a lot!
