We just had our rabbit neutered, and he has caused nightmares.. So just make sure you check his wound multiple times a day! We caught him chewing on the stitches about 12 hours after surgery and he ripped some out. Had to get him glued back up and now he has to wear an e-collar as without it he...

They are cecotropes. He cannot eat them off the cage floor as the collar prevents him from doing this. He is doing much better, the cone should be able to come off in a few days. He is eating plenty of hay and when I take off his cone at night when I can supervise him, he eats plenty of fresh...

Well, my sock collar has worked. He wore it all last night and managed not to get it off. He can eat and drink with it on, but cannot get down to the wound. Problem I have now is just his cecotropes. As he cannot ingest them, and they are mushy, they are all over him. About to give him a butt...

Hi all. So it seems Winston, our problem child (8 month old neth. dwarf cross) is once again causing us emotional and financial anguish! He has in the past had a problem with mushy cecotropes... anyhow, after flagyl, seemed to clear him up so booked him in for castration as we have been...

Our bunny had the exact same thing develop. When we got him, he was saved by the vet clinic as the breeder was going to put him to sleep as he had an ulcer in his eye due to trauma. He was only a baby, the vets kept him and put drops in his eye to heal it and then we fostered him at about 5...

A similar thing happened to our bunny... but he just lost hair on his side. It started smaller and got bigger, lost hair and skin went scabby. He did not seem too fussed about it but used to lick it a lot. It kept getting worse, more hair loss and skin was looking puffier and scabbier... they...

Thanks for the reply.. He drinks plenty of water. He won't drink from a bottle, so he always has a heavy crock of fresh water and I see him drinking from it often. While he has been on the hay/water diet he is drinking even more water, which makes sense I guess! The last few days I have not...

We have a dwarf cross bunny, who is approx 8 months old. We rescued him from euthanasia as a breeder brought him to a vet clinic to be put to sleep due to an abscess on his eye (vet thinks it was simply caused by a bit of hay or something similar poking him in the eye) The clinic did not want...
