Amy the tattoo of Zaide is probably the most beautiful tattoo I've ever seen. You chose a wonderful artist!

I talked to the vet yesterday and he was concerned about Peter's rapid weight loss. He also thought that molar spurs were a definite possibility. He hadn't really considered it because he didn't see any drooling and he didn't know the extent of Peter's new eating habits (at the time I didn't...

I haven't given him any medicine today because I know antibiotics can cause nausea on an empty stomach, and since he doesn't seem to be eating very much... He's lost about 2 lbs. in two weeks by the way. Now he's about 4.5 lbs. and looks healthy. I ran into a couple of interesting...

We've had the cat much longer than Peter. The cat has had her skin problem all of her life. They're never around each other. Right now Peter has a lot of hair growth so it looks almost normal. There's just one red spot but it's getting better. I don't catch him chewing it very often. The...

Well yesterday he was chewing it again. Now there's this long, red, sore/gash-looking thing again. The hair is growing back in the center and he keeps chewing on the edges. It's like it heals and returns in ripples. I called the vet today but he didn't get a chance to return my call so hopefully...

My sister and I have gotten good at giving Peter antibiotics, lol. Well it's been a week and I'm supposed to call the vet today andlet him know how Peter is doing. His chest has been looking so much better. The fur is really starting to grow back in the center. The red sores are all gone. For...

Hmmm, alright. When my sister comes home later this afternoon I'll try again. It's so difficult just to get him in a towel. He's figured out what I'm up to.He's being sucha difficult bunny. :rollseyes A bunny burrito isa good description, lol. Thanks. :)

I can't get him to take his antibiotics for anything. I tried swaddling him in a towel but beacause he's so soft he slips right out and I can't keep a hold on him. I tried squishing him against the floor with my arm around him. He kicks and he has really sharp claws and I can't keep a grip on...

lol Hmmm I think I have some cotton somewhere...I don't know about surgical tape. I'll tackle that tomorrow unless he's miraculously stopped picking at it.

I could make a bunny shirt out of a sock. I could also try and fashion a soft e-collar. That was a helpful link you posted. I'm mainly worried that the cloth will irritate his chest though. Should I use a sock and line it with something? Should I try and make an e-collar? What material should I use?

Well I thought that the vet I saw in the magazine sounded likea good one, but when I tried to call it said the number was temporarily unavailable and when I checked their website it wasn't a valid domain. I guess they went out of business. I called the vet office located in Petsmart and they...

It won't let me edit the above post for some reason but here's another Wilmington vet. Azalea Coast Animal Care Deborah R. Scarborough, DVM 6205 Market Street Wilmington, NC 28405 Phone: 910-791-3112 Website: http://azaleacoastanimalcare.com Animals treated: Chinchilla...

Autumn that's such a clever idea! I never would have thought of that. It's such a simple solution too. I was going to call the vet today but I forgot that they're closed on weekends. Today my Dad said that he was going to the farmer's supply store and he asked if I wanted him to get anything...

My sisters and I went through a lot of hampsters over the years... Some of them died just 2 weeks after bringing them home. It was always diarhhea and dehydration. Even when given fluids only one of them actually recovered. We had a white, very fluffy hampster named Stellaluna that lived the...

Okay I'm calling the vet tomorrow and making an appointment. It probably is some skin condition that needs medicine. And afterwards I can stop feeling like I'm neglecting him by not taking him to the vet when there's clearly something wrong...

Okay so I definitely need to find a better food brand. I know that our Wal-Mart has the Kaytee Timothy Complete. I know of a farmer supply/hardware storewhere my sister swears she saw giant bags of Purina rabbit food for sale. There aretwo more pet stores that I plan to go to tomorrow to look at...

My sister's rabbit is on the same food, has the same cage, has the same bedding, has minimal toys, and my sister says she never lets him out. (I know it sounds sad.) But, he doesn't have this problem. She also has a guinea pig and although they don't play together their cages are nearby. Both of...

If corncob is bad for rabbits, wouldn't it be bad for guinea pigs also? I don't think there is any way that I can upgrade Peter or Trixy's cage right now. I'll probably move out in a couple of years and maybe then I can look into building a bigger cage. I just don't think I can build anything...

It's good to know that the butt tufts are nothing to worry about. He can't reach his rear end. It's sounding more and more like this is leading to a vet visit (which is fine, lol). I could ask her to do a scraping and take a blood test. I know what ringworm looks like and now that you mention...
