Hi, I've been trying to bond 2 of my rabbits on and off for a few months now with no luck so i'm hoping you can give me some advice! Pippin is a neutered male, almost 4 years old who lost his sister a year and a half ago. He used to be outgoing and friendly but withdrew into himself when she...

Hi, well to be honest I don't know for sure it was a gut motility injection, I just assumed it was as it wasn't antibiotics and she was to go back to get another injection if she still wasn't passing anything. I wasn't able to collect her so I couldn't ask questions and my relative who collected...

She's much better today, I got her to pass a small amount after the 2nd dose of infacol, and the xrays showed no obstruction. She got gut motility injections and am continuing the feedings and she has passed a few more soft pellets since. Appetite seems a bit better. Fingers crossed :)

Its an exotics clinic, vet gave fluids and wants to see if fluids + CC will help before xray, if there is nothing passed by tomorrow morning she is going in for the xray. Depends on xray what is done next. She is still doing ok right now, no signs of pain or discomfort and is taking critical...

She has lots of green hay in with her but she has only nibbled it. I gave her 1ml of infacol and a few mls of watery critical care. Will give her more in a few hours. Vet suspects an obstruction so x-ray and possibly surgery tomorrow :(

Hi, I have critical care, I was worried about force feeding her though in case it made the blockage worse by filling her up even more. I have pureed baby food as well (I make a bowl of 1 part diluted critical care to 1 part baby food to 1 part pineapple juice for one of my other rabbits every...

I don't know how old exactly but i'd estimate 8-10 weeks old. She is fully hydrated, I checked her skin turgor and she has been urinating normally. I have only had her since yesterday so I don't know whether she has ever had any fruit/veg before. I am hoping that now the matt is gone she...

Hi, thanks for the advice, Where could I get gas medicine? vet clinic or is pharmacy with human products ok? She's nibbling a little bit of hay now and again but not for longer than a minute or so at a time and not nearly as much as she should be eating. I got a pack of the food she had...

Hi, I got a baby lionhead yesterday and she seemed to bein good health. However she has not passed a single dropping since then and i'm very worried.When I was double checking her sexa few hours ago I noticed a very small but tight matt right against her bottom blocking anything from passing...

The others are now vaccinated but im worried about 1 who is very down in himself. Not sure if its the start of symptoms or if he's depressed from losing his companion. Will be keeping a close eye on them all, fingers crossed :(

He was put to sleep this morning after the vet confirmed it as myxo. Was very quick and peaceful. Rest in peace buddy :(

Hi everyone thanks for the replies, I've read all the links and am still convinced it is myxomatosis. I've stayed up with him all night, he's been wrapped in his blanket in my arms to keep him warm. Been giving him fluids orally and critical care solution. He's taking the fluids easily but I...

My rabbit was diagnosed with the snuffles yesterdaywhile I was away at college, and I came home for the weekend tonight and it didn't look like just snuffles to me. I'm terrified he actually has myxomatosis, and don't know what to do as all vets are closed (its 10pm here) He's not vaccinated...

Hey :)I last posted a while back asking for advice about whether to get a new rabbit as company for my lone male rabbit after his sister died. I decided to wait until summer so i'd be home from uni and have time to give enough attention to a baby rabbit and time to bond it with Pippin. (my...

She def would be too busy to be doing bonding on top of everything else, so the reason im posting so soon after Shad died is I really only have thismonth to use asa bonding period while im home. I think im leaning towards company as I feel bad thinking of him with nobody to snuggle against or...
