I appreciate all your answers! I actually panicked and ended up going to the vet. She took my rabbit in and it turned out to be maggots. I was pretty shocked, but i'm glad i ended up going (since the situation is more serious than with little worms). She gave my rabbit a shot to kill parasites...

Yeah, i'm uncomfortable with giving it anything but the exact medicine. My only hope is to ask the vet that we went to if i can just buy the medicine, not pay the consultation fee. (80$) EDIT: I called the vet and they told me there's no pinworms in rabbits and it could be maggots, which is...

I had the same issue! The vet told me to ease up on the veggies, fruits, and commercial rabbit food. Hay is supposed to make up main part of a rabbit's diet apparently, and it helps poop come out dry. Maybe you could wrap her in a bunny burrito while restraining her?

I lifted my 1yo Netherland Dwarf up today to clean some soft poop that was stuck on the hairs around her butt and saw she has WORMS! They're white, thin and pretty much as big as a staple. I saw about 7. I naturally entered defense mode and started cleaning around there. She also has irritation...

Thanks for your help and get well wishes! :D

My rabbit's nail just snapped off today when she decided to jump around. It was bleeding for awhile and i did a cold water compress and she was licking it and it pretty much stopped. Two minutes later she got distracted or 'over it' and she's eating. Do i need to do anything else?

Thanks so much guys. I tried the saline thing but she just rubs her eyes after.. with her front and back legs. Why are vets closed whenever i need them most.. -_-

So i came back from my college residence for a few days to see my rabbit who was in my mom's care. Something's definitely wrong with her eyes. I think she tears up and it dries up in her hair around her eyes? Well, i tried to clean the dry bits and hair around her eye just came OFF! I'm really...

Yesterday, my female netherland drawf stopped eating, drinking and pooping. It just sat hunched over in its cage and grunted when anyone came near. Naturally i assumed the worst and google was telling me it could die anytime, so i sat with it all night and tried to feed it alfalfa hay and water...
