Have a bunny with vent disease. Is there anywhere I can get penicillin procaine or am I going to need a prescription from a vet?

I just bought a holland lop doe and took her to a show today. The judge in the second show said she had a urinary infection because her genitals were red. Is he talking about vent disease? He said she would need to be treated with antibiotics. Can I get the antibiotics some where or am I going...

I am sort of in the middle on this problem because I am friends with both parties and both have asked for my opinion. A breeder sold what she thought was a doe to another breeder. This doe had even been show and placed by the originally breeder. Now the breeder who bought the rabbit found out...

I bought a rabbit at convention and was having him transported back to my state. The transporter called me to tell me he died about 2 hours into the trip. They said they were driving and heard a bunny scream. When checking the bunnies they found mine looking like he was sleeping. He seemed to be...

I bought a rabbit from a breeder. The rabbit was transported by the breeder and shown at the ARBA convention. I paid to have the rabbit transported to my state by someone transporting rabbits back from convention to this area. The rabbit died on the way back. The breeder says the rabbit was fine...

Does anyone have any suggestions how I can get him looking better for next weekend? If I brushed him everyday this week will it work?? Any other ideas??

My doe had a litter of 8 kits. They all developed fine and were weaned from their mother at 8 weeks. They are now 12 weeks and in the last week 4 have died. One day I found 1 dead in their exercise pen. He had been acting fine and didn't appear to have any symptoms. The next day another died and...

My french lop broken chestnut buck and my french lop frosted pearl had a litter and I am baffled on the color of a couple of the babies. All are are broken. There are som chestnuts and some chins. On a couple of the broken chinchillas their faces and ears definitely look chin color, but behind...

If a bunny has diarrhea can you give him a little pepto bismal?? I have heard you can use keopetate(sp?).

Moderator's Note: This subject has NOW become ... how can you find pet homes for the culls......and culling/killing and attacking breeders for their choices will NOT be allowed. I am curious what others do with your culls? Especially if you can't find pet homes for them.

I have a first time mini lop mom who had 8 kits. They are all doing well, but I think Mom is peeing in the nestbox. I noticed how wet the bedding was the other day so i ended up cleaning it out and putting dry bedding back in. Today i noticed one of the kits white fur was yellow so I pulled it...

I have had rabbits all my life, but only got into showing and breeding a year ago. What I have found in showing rabbits has got me kind of frustrated. One example is I took a JR mini lops sold doe to a show. There were 10 other rabbits in the class and the judge absolutely loved her. Said she...

I breed mini lops, holland lops and french lops. There is not very much competition showing the french lops and I have been lucky to get a very nice buck and doe. It is much harder to find mini lops and holland lops that are a quality that are able to do well at the shows. Breeders tend to keep...

I have six 8' x 30" cages. They each have 3 or 4 holes in them. The do not have pans. I have them sitting on sawhorses. All I have to do is rake underneath to clean up. I would like to build a shed to put the cages in so in the winter I can keep it just above freezing. I need to come up with an...

I have a french lop doe in my rabbitry. She is 4 months old. She seems very healthy. Has H2O 24/7 and gets hay and rabbit pellets. Haven't given her any veggies yet. Her butt has a giant poop ball and the back inside of her thighs are poopy. She does seem to poop in regular formed poop. I also...

I don't have the new standard of perfection book yet. Need to find out what the minimum a holland lop and mini lop can weigh to show as a junior. Thanks

If a mother rabbit won't feed her babies what do you use and where do you get it. want to be prepared if this happens. Thanks.

Does anyone have the new standards book? Did the weight change for JR french lops or is it still have to be over 51/2 lbs to show? Thanks.
