She had beenparalyzed for 5 months. She can't keep herself clean. I don't keep it unsanitary. I bathed her and cleaned her cage out every day but thanks for the vote of confidence and understanding. She passed away after a 5 month battle three days ago. Her vital organsjust shut down...

I would stand by the motility drugs my vet gave me. My bun went into complete stasis for over 24 hours. I tried simethicone but it didn't work. Within 12 hours of giving her motility drugs, she was completely back to normal and hasn't had another issue since. I know there are different kinds...

Yes she lives inside. Always has. It's a constant struggle to keep her clean. I bathe her every night but then keeping her dry is a problem. The vet said clean and dry is the key but he has some $2,000 piece of machinery that dries her with a balloon full of hot air. Because he has such a great...

The vet says it's fly strike. He said he can take care of it, though. I guess that's good. Now I'm wondering what I can do to prevent it. I'm considering putting mosquito netting around her cage.

I've found that magnetic clay is an absolute miracle for rabbit skin (and my own eczema). I use it along with hydro therapy. My vet told me that and it works for me. You spray decent pressure water on their skin (I just use the hose sprayer on my kitchen faucet) and it causes it to accelerate...

I just found 3 worms around my bun's anus. She's been unable to stand/walk for 5 months now and probably has ecuniculi or some neurological disorder. She's been on panacur and a horse dewormer before but I've never seen worms. I'm taking her to the vet first thing in the morning but is there...

The only thing I've seen really knock out gi stasis are motility drugs (spelling?). They do a great job of clearing out any blockage. I think they're basically just minerals and oil. They lubricate the intestines and push everything out. Ask your vet.

Good news, she is making a recovery now. The clay is actually working. Her wounds are half the size that they were and she has started laying on her right side. She hasn't done that in 4 months (since this started.) She has atrophy in her legs now but as soon as the wounds heal I'm going to...

her urine burn is gone but her wounds are very bad. I'll probably have to put her down soon. She has 3 large chunks of skin missing. I've had them stitched up so many times she has no more skin to stitch. I started using healing clay (a desperate move) and it is probably too late for it to work...

I'm going to try some herbal salves but she she has open wounds that I'm still trying to heal up first. I really don't think it's good to put that on an open wound. She's actually getting better in every other aspect. I finally figured out how to keep her dry. I put a training pad down, then a...

They lose muscle mass rapidly when immobile too. I'm not sure of your exact situation but if there's any exercises at all you can do that could help.

I'm not sure if the price is different, it's just that he already has toltrazuril so I can buy only the amount I need. Really, I can deal with the ecuniculi but the urine scald is going to kill her. It's absolutely horrible. I just took a couple of pictures of it. Even after being on antibiotic...

I really just can't afford ponazuril. My vet gave me toltrazuril and said it accomplishes the same thing. The problem is I have to buy a big tube for a horse if I want to try ponazuril. The toltrazuril unfortunately has done nothing for her as far as I can see.

Has anyone ever tried anything besides western medicine? Homeopathic, acupuncture, clay baths? I'm thinking of trying something else besides the refrigerator full of medicine that hasn't seemed to do much so far.

It happens when they're immobile, or so my vet told me. Happened to my bun too when she became paralyzed. I don't think there's much you can do except put ointment on it and keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get infected (Then you will need antibiotics.) She still has hers but they...
