I still can't believe that she is gone, that this is all real and I will never get to hug my bunny ever again. I woke up this morning thinking that this was all a very bad dream and I started to go to her area to check on her and Ninja. But then I realized that it was not a nightmare but the truth.

Today at about ten thirty this morning Oct. 31 we got a call from the vet saying that Hope's heart stopped during her spay surgery. They said she was doing so well with the iv fluids and they don't know what happened, that perhaps she had a heart defect. They tried to do emergency procedures to...

Well for the rescues in Canada who are strictly for rabbits my questions would be: Where do you get your funding? Can you request some government money? Also do I need a permit? The obvious things to consider are the room/space to run around and house them, a quarentine thing etc but those...

Hi there, As some of you know I am passionate about rabbits, I am passionate on talking to pet stores to try to get their staff more educated so that they are not sending people home with false expectations and the rabbit ends up in a shelter, I am passionate about talking to people who breed...

Hello, I don't know if you have the same passion for rabbits but I love them. It breaks my heart to see them homeless at the shelter that I volunteer at. It breaks my heart to see ads for them on the internet based buy/sell sites and when they are brought back to the pet store. It seems like...

Manitoba rocks but then again I'm biased, I live here. Do you have google? Google Winnipeg which is the city I live in. Then look up things like the Forks, the Whiteshell, the Manitoba Museum, the Winnipeg Art Gallery, Folklorama, The Fringe Festival. There are tons of things to do! Summers are...

The rabbits seem quite interested in me cutting roses. their noses are twitching, they are jumping around like crazy. I don't want to give them any until i find out if they can eat them. Nothing on house rabbit society says yes or no.

Hi everyone, forgive me for never being around. I have six rabbits and also volunteer at the animal shelter so I don't have a lot of time. Today at the shelter I was lifting a rabbit out of it's cage for a run and it was very fat. When I felt it's stomach I also felt these weird nubby things. It...

Hi there, I took Oreo to a better vet who was more knowledgable and she thinks that Oreo has glaucoma. Does anyone have experience in this? She did exrays of many different angles and didn't find any abscesses, she also said if there was one that it was so small that it could not be seen. We...

How do abscesses get detected? She said that it is hard to detect asa rabbit is hard to anesthisize to get an x ray.

This will be my first time at this vet and I did ask if she was knowledgable with rabbits and they said yes. My regular vet was not available. And my vet said to get him to a rabbit doctor right away. So I did it. She did a lot of investigating like taking his temperature and pressing on the eye...

Hi everyone, I only come on the board when something is wrong. I noticed yesterday that Oreo had this white puss substance coming out of his eye. I looked closely and there was a white film covering it. His eye is definatley bulging out a bit and it is red. I took him to the vet as the vet...

Well he looks like he is molting all around his fur. How can I tell if he has fur mites? How is it treated and will Hope have it too since they live together? Are they contagious to humans?

OMG I can't stand losing another bunny but I am afraid something might be wrong. I hope that it is just his new mate licking him that is causing the fur loss. I am taking him to the vet as soon as I can get a hold of them and make an appointment. Ninja has no fur on the perameter of his eye. It...
