Thanks for the reply. Sometimes I just have to be more stubborn than him and wait it out and he will finally swallow what he has. I'm sticking with a 1ml syringe to make it harder to give him too much at once. And it gives him a small pause in-between. Although it does take awhile to get...

Anyone have any tips on getting him to take the critical care food? He has discovered that he doesn't have to swallow the food. I use a tiny syringe to help avoid pushing too much in but he just basically blocks it and lets it flow back out of his mouth. Sometimes if I put the syringe...

The CT scan showed an ear infection and the early stages of brain infection. They weren't certain they were connected but wanted to get him on IV antibiotics quickly. Unfortunately, after he is done with those he will need surgery for the ear. I forget what they called it but animals have a...

He is now receiving IV antibiotics for an ear infection and meningitis. He will be in their ICU for at 2-3 nights Bunnies don't make much noise but it is so quiet in the house without him.

Thank you for the reply. He does turn in the direction of his worst eye. The vet put him on Metacam (meloxicam) and Baytril and Meclizine. His eye movement is definitely horizontal. I haven't been able to get a video of it, he acts differently as soon as I get close enough with the...

Something we just noticed is his eyes move slightly before his head moves. So I can't tell if he is seeing something move in his eyes and is trying to follow it with his head. Took him to a nearby vet today that prescribed antibiotics, pain killer and anti-nausea medicine. Their guess was an...

Our 13 year old male rabbit is partially blind in his right eye and mostly blind in his left (not sure if that has anything to do with it) and has been that way for several months. He just recently started laying with his head curled back around to his left. All his life he would sleep...

Thanks, hanging around with bunnies for decades a bit of clever had to rub off on me.

My job is going to in office more days a week and I felt bad having him left without any middle of the day treats. I know they make dispensers for cat and dog treats but I couldn't tell if any of them would work with rabbit treats and some of them are expensive. Then I saw the Wyze Pan Cam...

Thanks for the reply. I will check out the links. If he was younger I'd be looking into surgery. I just think it would be so hard on him now. We definitely, don't move things anymore and if I do block an area I do it with pillows. Up till last week he'd still occasionally make his trip...

We have a bun that is roughly 12 years old. Over the last year we noticed his hearing was mostly gone. His ears look clear and he doesn't scratch at them. Then about 6 months ago one eye started getting foggy. He did really well with one good eye. He had trouble with bland colored things...

Truman says "type faster!!!" So I'm typing faster.

Truman started chewing on the plastic edge of his litter box too. The only thing that has slowed it is attaching a hay ball to the side of the cage right where he chews on the litter box. That way he has something else to destroy right there. He has toys and things to chew on elsewhere...

thank you everyone for your kind words and help. I really became clear that when we'd lay down and she'd pull herself closer to me and then my wife that Spot was doing more to try to make us feel better than us for her. We made an appointment for early Saturday, before their regular...

that is the part that is ripping me up inside, knowing when to say goodbye.

Our bunny of nearly 13 years took a turn for the worse recently. She is a spayed rex. She had a sore on each front foot that they had to open up and drain and she made it through that quite well. They did one at a time and the bandages would trip her up quite a bit but she powered on like a...

At first it was just outside but recently it has happened a couple times inside. We don't usually see it happen but most of the time it looks like she's tripped over a toy or been trying to clean a hard to reach place and lost balance. Tonight she was in her cardboard box tunnel and it toppled...

We have 12 year old rex rabbit with occasional balance problem. She's always been very active and still is. She will run around the living room and up and down the hallway. However this past summer she'd occasionally have problems when outside on our somewhat bumpy lawn she'd lose her step...
