So sorry to hear about your rabbits. When wefirst got our rabbits we had 2 that were both girls, in fact they weresisters. One was so dominant, that she would bite the otherone constantly, she even pulled out the hair on her sisters back andleft a big bald spot and then bit her until her back...

Thank you all for all your kindmessages. We seem to think now that our bunny may have had astroke of some kind because she is dragging her back leg. Itmay of been the anesthesia that she had from the surgery. Anyway Ithink we have made the right decision to send her "over the rainbow", Ijust...

Thank you for your thoughts and advise. Grunteris almost 5 years old and I spoke to my vet this morning. He wants meto see another vet that treats rabbits, because rabbits are not hisspeciality. I spoke to the other vet this morning and after a big heartto heart he had suggested the same thing...

Well, Grunter is not doing well, she has stillgot her soft stools (she only eats timothy hay and pellets), the vetgave me some medicine for her and also told me to give her1/2mm of amodium, well I think she is worse. Now every stool issoft! I took her off it today, and have a call into the vet...

I dry her off constantly with a paper towel andwash her with warm water everynight just to get all the urineoff. She has no sores on her hocks and her sore on her backfrom the fly strike is all healed. I put fresh pine shavings in hercage daily. Because her stools were soft and I was trying...

I still can't get my bunny to use her litterbox(Iuse Yesterdays News Litter). She hates it and jumps out just as soon asI put her in it. She now sits with her front paws in the litterbox butnot the rest of her body. Also I notice that her back legs and tail isconstantly wet? She is in a cage...

I don't have the problem with my bunny moving itbecause I also drilled holes in mine and tied it with heavy dutywire. But she just wont go into it. I put her inand she jumps right back out, she will only put her front paws in herlitter box, and forget about using it. No Way, I'm just notsure how...

I have a question about litter box, my rabbitwon't use it, she only puts her front paws in it, so consequently hertail and hind feet stay wet because we have her inside. Shewas an outside rabbit but is recovering from fly strike and I can'tseem to train her again to use the litter box . She...

My bunny had fly strike and she is stillrecovering, she had loose stools which led to the stool collecting onher tail , we never even saw an open wound. I ended up taking her tothe vet and hecleaned her up and then he notice an open woundon her back, when hestarted looking closer the poor thing...

Since she has already been checked for parasitesand came out clean, I am following the advise in the article and haveGrunter on a hay only diet for the next 1-2 wks. She doesn'tlike it and it is very hard not to give her something else, especiallywhen she comes running when I put my hand in the...

I am still having a problem with soft stools, mybunny is only on timothy hay, oats and pellets. Is thereanything else that I can give her that will keep her stoolshard? Could I begiving her to many oats? I haven'tgiven her any vegs or fruit because I am trying to get this undercontrol. I know...

Her stools are getting better. They arefirmer than they used to be. She can hop into her litter box. I try toput her in there when I think she has to go, but she just jumps out. Iam letting her run around the garageand she loves it , shekick up her heels. There is really nothing in there because...

Grunteris doing much better, she was atthe vet on Fri just for a check and he said she is healing well, theonly thing he is worried about is where the maggots were on her backshe has quite a tear in the skin and he may have to put a stitch. Ijust read the post about the vanilla in the water for...

My bunny was beingeatten alive by maggots, I took her to the vet and he had to sedate herand clean her all up. She is healing now, and doing muchbetter. I think the biggest culprit of this was her...
