thank you - I've never heard of it even being possible to accumulate in the body and cause any damage, as it's main benefit for using against insects are the microscopic, razor-sharp edges that eviscerate dry exoskeletons, but do no damage when the DE is wet - and I just assumed all mammals'...

Hi JBUN - could you please cite any information you have on ingesting DE being dangerous for rabbits? Not the dangers of them breathing in the dust, because that's pretty well documented for all most if not all animals, but rather ingesting/consuming DE and consequently causing buns any harm...

Do not trust the exterminator to know if something they use is actually safe for rabbits or not. They're spraying stuff literally designed to kill animals - why on earth would you ever just hope for the best and that your pets won't be affected? That would be extremely poor judgement on your...

of course he knew and still knows how much you love him... and I guarantee you, he loved and still loves you just as much IMHO this thing we call "life" is a very, very short-term thing/existence, as compared to what's waiting for us all. Rest assured he'll be there with you, along with all...

yes, it is your fault - there's no denying that... BUT it was obviously a mistake and mistakes do obviously happen - even very, very serious mistakes that you would do anything to change or take back, but of course cannot. If you have pets (or children for that matter), you WILL inevitably make...

If you're ever thinking of getting more pets, please keep in mind that there are HUGE advantages to adopting adult pets; not having to litter box train them just one of those. Glad it worked out for you in the end.

over the last few years there has been quite a bit of research done regarding waiting longer before neutering pets and how very, very good that is for their health especially in their senior years (specifically with preventing cancer and liver/kidney issues). Preventing their normal hormone...

thanks for replying - that's what I assumed the reasoning behind it was Best of luck with your little one.

Excuse my ignorance, I'm just trying to learn in case I need to know for my guys in the future, but is it apt with rabbits to use motility drugs when they're already urinating (I'm assuming she is) and defecating normally? I'm questioning whether it is a good idea and/or safe to induce bowel...

EXACTLY - very well said on your part! Whenever you can get multiple perspectives/ideas you can usually figure out an answer to the problem you need to solve. Best of luck to you and your family. I hope it all ends up well for you guys.

I understand you wanting to be responsible and take care of things yourself, but in this case the most responsible thing you could possibly do is to ask your parents for help. In very serious situations like this, when my kids came to me asking for help or guidance, I never thought any less of...

I'm just trying to think outside the box, so to speak, but tap water can be "altered" for many reasons - typically due to safety concerns with the water supply, when they have to shock it back for potable safety. Perhaps your bun is reacting to whatever chemicals (or a stronger concentration of...

this might sound a bit weird, but are you 100% sure he isn't confusing the smell of pine or wet hay with urine? There are many people whose noses confuse the smell of urine with other things. IF this is the case, simply changing the litter box medium might do the trick. It helped with us when we...

Have you ruled out their drinking water being a problem?

3% - 12% hydrogen peroxide should remove the stain, including the old stains, IF the stains aren't first set by other cleaning products (then it gets tricky but still not impossible). Spray H2O2 until thoroughly wet, cover with clear plastic wrap, weight the plastic wrap down to prevent the...
