    RIP Pepper

    My baby girl, Pepper, is now gone. She fought as long as she could. :cry4::cry4: Peppers head tilt and behavior that started a day before her death was due to her infection working its way into her brain, there was nothing we could do anymore (We certainly tried everything under the sun for...

    Peppers Medical Journey - Please help!

    Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers, guys. Last night Pepper developed, completely out of nowhere, an instant case of the wobbles. She can't make it into her cage without assistance as she needs to hop up, and her eyes are rapidly moving. I can only assume this is wry neck even though there...

    Peppers Medical Journey - Please help!

    Thanks for the thoughts and prayers - she's still acting normal today, so I'm not as worried anymore. Naturally, my thoughts are always on her (AKA, I'm freaking out a lot!) but seems great after the scare I had. I don't mix her duo-pen with anything, neither one of the Vets have mentioned...

    Peppers Medical Journey - Please help!

    Of course, that course of action is always on my mind when anything happens, as she has been having problems for over 2 years. Ultimately, she is alert, affectionate, has a good appetite, and I don't think there is any reason right now to do that. Pepper hasn't been worse in any way for almost a...

    Peppers Medical Journey - Please help!

    Oh, I thought I should add that if it was a stroke.. it's hard to me to tell any sort of facial problems. Pepper has no eye on one side, and her face is very distorted on said side from multiple surgeries, and a growing infection. She hasn't had a surgery since last May, I believe, so it's...

    Peppers Medical Journey - Please help!

    Hi there - tonight after giving Pepper her Duo Pen injection, she started breathing heavily, sort of whimpering, stretching a bit, and stiffened up both her front and back legs (mostly front). Afterwards (I was holding her at the time rubbing on her injection site like I always do to calm her...

    Peppers Medical Journey - Please help!

    Hi, y'all! Does anybody know of any products OTHER than a neosporin type of deal that I can put on Peppers open wounds? She had a lot fill up in her face in too many different spots and the skin got so thin between them, it's pretty open right now. She doesn't act like it phases her, but I...

    Teeth Filling

    My rabbit has needed clipping since she was just a baby, she was born with seriously misaligned teeth and won't chew on toys or much hay because of it. I have one vet that recommended clipping them (nail clippers, etc) and another that recommended having them filed with a low speed power tool...

    Oh goodness! Thank you SO much for the donation, Pepper and I truly appreciate your compassion! Pepper really IS a trooper! She has been through so much, a never ending journey! She is so loving and sweet though, so the troubles make it worth it to me!

    Peppers Medical Journey - Please help!

    Hi again everybody! Thought I would post another update, this time with a couple thumbnails of pics taken today! Pepper now gets her medications in 2 different places which brought down the cost a smidge (about 20 bucks a month). We were able to buy an entire bottle of the Duo Pen for her...

    Pet Insurance???

    I couldn't afford a pet insurance for my perpetually sick bun, but I did apply for the Care Credit Card... used just like a credit card for vet bills (and human doctor bills too!) Other than the fact that I lost quite a bit of points on my credit score for applying TWICE because the numbers...

    Weird sore on back? *pics*

    I can't see the pictures, but from my bunny experience... she gets bumps and sores from her injections (she gets one every other day) Sometimes it is caused by me possibly not putting the needle in fully, causing a bubble and sometimes it it simply from too many injections in the same area. I'm...

    HELP-rabbit won't or can't drink or eat

    My bunny had had some quirks in the past with eating and picky behavior... When she is going though bouts of not eating a way to jumpstart her that has always worked was to make a "rabbit smoothie" with some carrot or other veggies, water, hay, few pellets, whatever she loves and is healthy for...

    Peppers Medical Journey - Please help!

    Sorry about the delay in getting back over here. Miss Pepper is still alive and kicking (I have been so so busy!) she was able to get an xray with a helpful donation from my mother and it's a sure thing that she needs all of her teeth out. They don't want to take them out until her face...

    Peppers Medical Journey - Please help!

    This was super forever ago that I posted this thread, but we've been busy! Pepper met her new vet (her abscess was getting particularly large) mommy had a breakdown in the vets office (what a super first impression!) and we spent almost 300 dollars, waited for about 3 hours, and didn't get...

    Rabbit teeth trimming

    I'm sure this is one of those topics that gets brought up a lot here, so I'm sorry, but I'm having some long rabbit teeth issues! My rabbit has been having her teeth clipped since mid/late 2010, and I was assured this was a perfectly fine way to go about fixing long teeth, however, I've been...

    Rabbit Has Abscess

    My rabbit has had abscess problems in her face and been going through surgeries since November 2010... she currently is having some unfortunate build up right now as well! If it's something that hasn't opened up on its own, you should always leave it alone until the whole thing can be...

    Administering Medicine

    I was told to always give fluids sideways, through the side of their mouth behind the teeth. If you shove it deep into their mouth or go from the front, it's easy for them to aspirate. Also, having them tilting their head back too much (if they're trying to get away, laying on their back, etc)...
