I've only had her a few months.. About two months or less when I noticed the weight loss so maybe 3 now.. The people that gave her to me never seemed to feed her any hay, as there was none in her cage, and I was not handed it. They had her on some gross seed, pellet, coloured-thing party...

Bunson is not improving. She seemed to he gaining a bit of weight while on the meds and critical care, but is back to losing it at an alarming rate again now that they've stopped. I haven't been able to pay towards previous vet bills because of course it seems everything must happen at once...

The vet check yielded no known cause. In fact, the vet seemed uninterested in the 'why'. There were mild dental spikes, but nothing he deemed to cause pain. He pushed me to purchase Oxbow brand hay and pellets, and prescribed 3 meds and some critical care after Bunson (who is female, after all)...

Update on Bunson: He hasn't seemed to touch his hay today at all, but his pellets were gone. I'm planning a vet appointment to a Petsmart Banfield in the morning, where there is a rabbit-savvy vet. I appreciate everyone's concerns and input, and will attempt to keep this thread updated on his...

How would he have obtained worms? He's an indoor rabbit. :( I have another indoor bun. They don't have contact with each other, but they are caged in the same room. She shows no signs of weight loss. It wouldn't be something she could catch, is it?

I adopted what I'm pretty sure is a buck (he won't safely allow me to check!) mini lop. I do not know his age, though he appears to be an adult, but not a senior. He came to us in perfect health, but did not come with hay, leading me to believe he had probably never been fed anything but...

It was great to hear your opinions. :) I'm afraid working at a pet store that sells mainly the more holistic brands of everything and my vet have me a little brainwashed. Also, I work with rescues rabbits. My newest acquisition is a mildly obese rabbit and my vet gave me "the look" when I said...

So my rabbits have always been on Purina rabbit chow Complete. Because it comes bulk and is cheap. It is also a plain pellet, not mixed with seeds, sugar bisquits, or other filler nonsense. To be dead honest, I've fed this pellet for years and are ashamaed to admit I never bothered to look at...

No pet store here /doesn't/ deal with live. I try not to put too much heart into anything that comes through but to be honest idk if we even have a store vet... I've never heard of one if we do. If the bun's sick or unwell, we simply RTV (Return to Vendor) the animal, since we know the vendor...

The pellets have no brand name I can find. They're given to us for store use. I highly doubt it, but they look like the FortiDiet Crunch. I remove all the lil orange crunchy pieces. He's drinking decently. I'm constantly giving him new hay to make sure he eats it since some buns don't like...

Hey! To those of you who remember me, I'm sorry it's been so long since I last posted here! But now I work at a pet store and I need some help. We have a male dwarf hotot mix in the store. He's a few months old. Hard to say exactly how old, but he's not super-young since his testicles have...

Sorry to anyone who misses my crew's postings... I just don't have the time! But if anyone wants to keep up with me or the kids, we're ALL on Facebook! Megan Virginia Grape (Me... Please refer to me as Ari. I much prefer it than my real name...) Jasper Bun Amber Nugget Luna Babbit...

I tried to find a list of rabbit-safe flowers for a fundraiser going on through my mother's church- they're selling bulbs for spring! They have a limited amount of stuff to choose from, though. And the few I came up with on the list were gladiolus and day lily. Those were about the only two in...

My parents have the Care Credit Card, which is how I paid for Jasper, my Flemmie mix's, vet bill. But I've been reminded by my parents on a constant basis that this is for emergencies only. My parents do NOT see rabbits as a 'vet pet'. I'm worried they will not understand that the chewing...

Thank you for the input. :) I'll be sure to let her know what the conclusion is in the morning.
