    Old Bunny - Quality of Life Question

    Thanks, guys. Oh, don't worry, JBun, I am NOT rushing into pts at all. I don't want to do it, unless it gets really bad. But, I was just looking to see it from other people's perspective. Maybe other people think THIS is really bad, and I am hanging on more for myself, and being unfair to him...

    Old Bunny - Quality of Life Question

    Hello all. Long time no see; I haven't been 'active' (besides lurking) for a few years now, but, you know, LIFE, hehe. Been crazy. So, I need your wise opinions. Over the past two years, I have lost two of my bunnies. Both aged 14! They both had the same thing happen: they exhibited...

    Lump on chest; Vet Visit?

    Update!! Toby is healthy! His cyst was benign, so we just need to watch it and as long as he's not uncomfortable, we don't need to do anything. I saw it all the way since they had to shave him to do the biopsy and it was SO much bigger looking it actually surprised me. My first thought was , 'I...

    Lump on chest; Vet Visit?

    We had the punch biopsy done yesterday, and he complied with everything so they didn't need to put him under at all! I'm such a proud mommy! He has one suture, and he'll get that out in 10 days, but right now he's mostly acting completely normal (except he won't let me lift him like the vet...

    Lump on chest; Vet Visit?

    So, we went to the vet on Saturday. They tried to get a sample to look at under the microscope, but the lump was so hard, they couldn't get anything. We're scheduled for a punch biopsy tomorrow, but I'm concerned. They are going to try and not put him under for it, which I would prefer. But...

    Lump on chest; Vet Visit?

    Hello all, Last night I was holding my bunny, Toby and found that he had a lump on his chest! It is hard, but movable. I measured that it was sticking out a little over a half inch, and was about an inch in length. I can move it around with my fingers, and it doesn't seem to cause him any...

    Bunny drinking loads of water, losing weight

    That's what I figured, reading on what other people's buns have had. I guess it's off to the vet we go! Realistically, what am I looking at, here? Does it depend on how fast we caught whatever it is? For how long, and treatment-wise. Sorry, I can still fill out what I can of the...

    Bunny drinking loads of water, losing weight

    I have an 8 year old English Spot bunny, Toby. He has recently begun drinking almost triple the amount of water than he used to, but he is losing weight. His little bum and spine are bony and for an always husky fella, this is not normal. I would blame age, except for one thing: we had a 9...

    RIP Indy

    RIP Indy (Indianna) my little deer. (She looked like a deer, she had deer eyes.) I'll have to get a picture of her up. January 2002-April 29th, 2008. She's one of the babies, so sad for her mommy and daddy and brother who are going to be missing her.

    Need quick answers!!

    Ok, just back from the vet! Toby had twisted his pelvis, and another part of his spine that started with an 's' (I can't remember... scapula? Something to that extent.) out of place! The vet said his motions last night were most likely him trying to pop it all back into place. He's not a free...

    Need quick answers!!

    Thanks guys. Toby seems 100% better today. He's moving around and standing up. AND he peed... and sat in it, of course. I did find a vet!! Finally. Now, he has an appointment for tonight, though I thought about cancelling since he seems so much better. That vet's gonna be like 'There is...

    Need quick answers!!

    Sorry, I was sitting with him, and then I couldn't get back online. The good news is, he voluntarily ate... But only if I hand fed it to him. A bit of banana and some Timothy Hay. He won't stand to drink, but I gave him water in a bottled water cap (how he drinks when he go out) and would only...

    Need quick answers!!

    When I rub his tummy he just lies there... Then when I let go he's straining again. His little sides are heaving, then he looks back like to lick off the poo or something.

    He was lying flat, but then he gets up to strain. And he's hunched and just straining so hard...
