I am having up & down success with my trio. I am trying in the back of my car boot with my three bunnies (another Millie), with a bonded pair Harrell & Maggie. This is the only neutral territory that does not smell of the house! We have rubbed a bit of banana on the girls heads to get them to...

Sounds like head tilt?? balance issues....I'd take it to the vets so they can do a proper check and possibly prescribe antibiotics

Excellent refresher on this complex and worrying topic....I am going to cut & paste and email to my vet!!

Just on the topic of this thread I have decided to cut out our Oxbow pellets based on 4 out of my 5 babies ALL getting gas over this past week. They were a new bag of pellets too!! Nothing else could have caused this - all their veg is washed and they have access to hay 24/7 it's fresh out...

Thanks that helps - yes, they get pumpkin but once we got a bad batch and all three (we had three at the time) all got ill!! it was organice unsweetened pumpkin NOT the pie filling...

Thanks - I've started to give her the cisapride twice daily (squeezed the liquid into the middle of a tiny bit of apple) and am going to hold off on the antibiotics as they can upset the stomach flora anyway. The vet wants to see Millie in 2 weeks to do a check-up x-ray!

Millie, our mini-rex (1.6kg) has had a few gas issues in the past few weeks, nothing that simethicone/Oval hasn't put right. She's also not eaten all her pellets (1 tsp twice a day) or salad (handful twice a day). She eaten enough, but left a bit. Eating hay as normal and this is always given in...

11am -3pm Sunday October 8th at WISE Hall, Corner of Adanac St. and Victoria Drive, Vancouver - WIN a Rabbit Condo!!! two storey space for multiple rabbits - Vet check-up - Rabbits (ofcourse) ;) - Competitions -Food/snacks - Bunny supplies www.vrra.org

Thanks! yes, only 1 of our 4 takes the tablet and ironically, she isn't shedding as bad...typical eh

Our vet recommended crushing1/2 largepapaya tablet and mix with yogert to syringe orally to our bunnies, to help them with their shedding and gas problems. Is yogert safe? I would use organic plain/natural, no flavouring/added sugar. All four are going through terrible shedding, and our big...

Harrell began to eat normally this morning and sees much more sparkier....thanks for the feedback about the pain medications everyone, we will bring it up with our vet.

Thanks for your response - no, the vet did not prescribe paid med based on the fact it is just a teeth file. He is not shaking or grinding his teeth as if in pain. Okay - we should expect to do more critical care this weekend with hopefully lots of encouragement of food (his favourite treats)...
