Mr. Bunny is a 3-year-old, neutered, 7 lb REW male. He suffers from Sebaceous Adenitis (which he's mostly gotten rid of since August) and a salivary gland infection (which he's currently on Penicillin injections for). Ms. Rabbit is a 1-year-old, spayed, 3 lb Mini Rex/dwarf mix female. She's had...

Definitely try feeling for lumps. This is exactly what happened with one of my rabbits - one day, he suddenly seemed to have a huge dewlap, except it was on his chin. He ended up having an infection that needed antibiotics. Is she spayed? I've heard of unspayed female rabbits getting big...

I personally like Wood Stove Pellets. They're cheap ($5 for a 40 lb bag), and they take care of the pee smell very well - I only have to change the litter every 3-4 days. And plus, they're safe for bunnies to nibble on. I've seen them at Wal-Mart and various supermarkets.

It's usually easiest to bond a male to a female than a female to a female. Females tend to want to be the dominant bunny in a bonded pair/group, so it can be hard to bond multiple females.

They should get salad everyday. 1 to 1 1/2 cup per 5 lbs of bunny is a good amount. I agree, be very careful with the treats and pellets. It's really easy to overfeed them, especially if the bunny loves food. Also, if you ever introduce a new type of veggie or hay, take it really slowly...

I agree - bunnies smell great! I love just sticking my nose in their necks and smelling them. They always smell so sweet and clean. This might sound a little strange, but I even love the smell of dirty bunny litter. :)

He is currently being given what I'm pretty sure is Bicillin. I'm sorry, maybe I didn't say it very clearly. He was prescribed 30 days of Penicillin, not 2.5 weeks of it. The vet isn't entirely sure of the diagnosis - he said it's impossible for him to be certain without removing the masses...

Does he react to bright lights, or having something shaken in front of his eyes?

A little background: Last September, shortly after we got Ms. Rabbit, I noticed some lumps on Mr. Bunny's chin. He was also much sleepier than normal, and he didn't seem to have his regular appetite. I immediately got him to a good rabbit vet. He examined Mr. Bunny and checked his teeth, and...

I believe that it's Bicillin, but I'm not quite sure. Yes, the vet showed me how to check to see if it was in a blood vessel first - the strange thing is, I didn't get any blood when I did that tonight.

(Hopefully, this is the right forum for this type of question...) My rabbit Mr. Bunny is on every-other-day Penicillin injections for a salivary gland infection. He's had 7 shots so far. The vet instructed me to give the shot into the skin between the shoulder blades. Well, tonight, after...

If there's any hay dust or dirty litter around, that's probably why he has a little extra snot. One of my rabbits has always had this a little bit - his nose gets a little crusty any time I don't clean up for a while. Try cleaning his cage more often. You might be able to stop the wire chewing...
