Ok, so Effie is now almost 10 months old and I am thinking it's about time to get this done. I have heard that it is better for the rabbit as they get less diseases, also reduced aggression. I keep putting it off, I almost want to cry when I think about it. I am afraid to take him to get...

Hello! I want to get a decent cage, not one of those Super Pet cages, but something like this: http://www.leithpetwerks.com/indexpage.cfm?category=1 I wanted to order from this site but since it is from the US, customs will charge me 40%! On a $400 cage that is $160!!! PURE INSANITY! I was...

Oh, and I am still force feeding, but have eased off from 3 times daily to twice daily and decreasing the amount. The more I see him eat on his own, the less I have been forcing on him.

Now that I am giving Bene-Bac twice daily with his Baytril his appetite is coming back. Last night he ate two pieces of fennel, one endive "bloom", a broccoli sprout, a small piece of carrot, a handful of Timothy hay and two tablespoons of pellets!! I take him out every evening for a...

Well, I once had asked a doctor if I could take my personal X-ray with me and they would not let me. I didn't ask about the labs but I specifically said "x-rays" so maybe that was the difference. As far as the B-comp I think it is more of a financial thing. They are expensive and the last...

they won't give me any of the x-rays or lab work. They will fax it to another vet however. There is another vet that I found that ONLY deals with rabbits and I may change vets (not that this one isn't wonderful, but they started taking dogs and cats now and it is always so busy!) Anyway...

I will, any particular reason?

I thought of something, I have chinchillas as well as the rabbit, however the chinchillas are upstairs and the rabbit is downstairs and they have never come in contact with each other and I always wash my hands between animals. However, is there some way that the rabbit got something from the...

OK, the vet tech told me that there were 2 bacteria found from the nasal swab: Gemella morbillorum and Staphylococcus Intermedius. I did ask about the B Comp injection and she will have the vet call me back. It is my belief that the Baytril is killing the good bacteria in his stomach as well...

would it help to give B supplements orally as well? Maybe dissolved in juice and syringe fed? Just curious. Oh,and he ate another big piece of fennel and more hay. Seems like he eats more when he's out of his cage than in!

Oh, and I ran out of Critical Care so I ran his pellets through a coffee grinder and mixed them with a bit of orange juice this morning and again with some pureed baby carrot food and a little water this afternoon. He just ate a small handful of Oxbow Western Timothy hay, a small piece of...

Thanks for the tip! I will talk with her tomorrow and ask her which bacteria it was and also about the B comp shot. Question: What does the B comp actually do? I have him out of the cage now and he's playing, pooping and peeing normally. Anyone else would look at him and say he is fine...

Here we go again! He was eating normally for the last four days however he just started losing interest in food again. My guess is that the Baytril is eliminating the good bacteria in his digestive tract, this literally started this morning. Therefore I am giving him Bene-Bac to keep the...

Ok, sorry for no postings in a while, I went to New York City for four days and had to board the bunny at the vet. He did not have Pasteurella, but another bacteria (can't remember the name), however he is back to normal eating and pooping more than ever. Thanks for all the support during...

Poos are bigger and more numerous today, at least 25 to 30. Also he ate more basil and a big leaf of book choy just now!

Well, the bunny is happily playing which he hasn't done in three days. He even did a little binky for me! The exercise will do him good, and keep everything moving. I have been forcing at least 10 cc's of pedialyte and baby apple juice three times daily. In addition I either mix the...

Well, my first thread was about my buns health, so I thought proper introductions were in order. My name is Ken, I am from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania but lived in Philadelphia for the last 10 years, up until last year when I moved to Montreal, QC, Canada. I worked as a bank manager but got sick...
