Thank you. Is it normal to have second thoughts? We've never had to put an animal down, and I'm thinking that she'll get better, or that I can just live with it.

Ok. I have some bad news. She's getting worse. She is in so much pain she won't move or eat or anything. She starts to drool and contort and flip. We called the vet, and she said that the problem is not going to ever go away, and that she has probably done permanent damage to her head that will...

Thanks for thinking about her, that does mean alot. Her current cage is a wooden structure about 1' X 4' X 3' (all estimates, I'm very bad at stuff like that). So the bottom is long and not too wide (she's not a very big bunny), and the height is enough for her to stand up in with room. I...

Ok. Just back from the vet, and there is good news and bad news. Good news: she's not having seizures. What I mistook for seizures was just her freaking out. I'm just an overprotective mother (mother? father? whatever.) Bad news: she does through the pain because she hits her head on the...

She's normal now. I don't see anything physical that she is in pain, or that anything has happened (i.e, blindness, head tilt, or any signs of pain.) We are taking her to the vet, maybe tomorrow. Ours is very forceful about not seeing rabbits; she would rather not treat them.

I don't think I can. The vet really doesn't 'do' rabbits. I am trying though.

Ok, she's going through it again, but now there are some REAL SERIOUS issues. Don't read this unless you think you could stomach it. Watching it made me cry and very nearly vomit. Her cage is roughly 3 1/2 - 4 feet tall. She's a midget rabbit, so it's plenty of room for her. She was running...

Yes, she is quite cute. She has no long-term damage, just some minor head aches. She loves the new cage. I hope she learned not to bash her head into solid objects.

Well, we have an appointment soon. My father built a hutch like cage for her with very soft wire mesh that will not hurt her if she hits them. The holes are large enough so she can see out, but no where near large enough to get her head through. I think that she was running and jumping...

No, she keeps doing it. I don't have anywhere to move her, and I need sleep, so I can't watch her. She sits and shakes a little. And when I feel the top of her head, I feel her jaws moving, as if she were eating.

OK, my rabbit is in a cage in which the sides abd back are made of wood. She always jumps at the wood and hits her dead. She did it just now very hard. Now she's slow to move and just stands in one place, which she never does. Does anyone think that she may be injured?

Now it seems that she's getting smaller. She seems to be skinner each day. She eats healthily and it active and energetic, but to me her tummy seems smaller. This could just be my imagination, but is there anyway to tell if she is getting enough food?

Wait? (Don't think me a noob,) but are the cecal pellets the soft ones? I was taught that the soft ones are eaten, and the hard ones are the final product, and should not be eaten.

Thanks so much. I have been looking back at everyone's posts in the last few days. The vet estimated 6-8/9 months old. I give her 1/4 cup alfalfa based pellets, alfalfa hay, and about a 1/2 inch chunk of carrot everyday. Carrots are like the only veggie she likes so far. I haven't been...

She is so happy. She hates when I don't let her out. She wants to explore all..... the..... time. Now I have a food question. I asked my dad, and he said that 1/4 of a cup of pellets is enough for a dwarf in a day. But she eats more than that. She is always eating. I don't know what to do.
