Wow! More replies than I was expecting! Joint custody may not work out exactly, but I like the idea of meeting at the park and gradually decrease from there. And while dogs live in the present, we have been trying to work on a severe case of separation anxiety (more from my dog than his) and...

My boyfriend of 5 years and I have decided to part ways and we have about 2 months before that will happen. We have lived together for nearly 3 of those years with our two dogs (and recently, a rabbit). My concern is how to prepare the dogs for the split. His dog will be going with him and mine...

"Snuffles" seems to be the common term used to describe it, so that's what I went with. Sounds like we have a bunch of Zithromax fans on here, so I'll see if I can push for that. What form does the drug take (i.e. injectible, oral suspension)? Also, I was wondering if there is a supplement I...

I'm quite familiar with allergies because of my dog. She has to eat a bison-based diet to deal with it. I worked briefly as a vet tech and saw 2 patients that were actually allergic to human dander. What a nightmare that would be! I'm quite certain it was injectable Baytril and as far as I...

Thanks for your replies! He doesn't have anything in his nose, both I and the vet have checked. He's on his 3rd antibiotic right now. I think a culture would be the next step. I've changed his bedding twice in the past couple of months and, quite honestly, it never occured to me that an...

My poor rabbit has had the snuffles for 3 months now! Heis a nearly 8 month old un-neutered lionhead rabbit. I've posted about this same problem before with him and followed all of the advice I've been given, but my poor guy is still sick! He's been to the vet 4 times now. The first time, he...

I listen to my local NPR station constantly.

I'm currently living in the house that my grandparents lived at for 40+ years and never really took the time to notice the GORGEOUS lilac bushes my grandmother took care of in her backyard. This spring, they are in full bloom, adding vibrant color and great fragrance to the backyard. I was...

I bought the strawberry and my rabbit LOVED it! My human friend loved it, too. He ate the rest of the bag! Grr!

Thanks for the replies, everyone! I picked up some Revolution from the vet today and was unable to find anymore live ones on the dogs. Once I am able to bathe them, I will be using a flea bomb on the house as an extra precaution. I just have to wait until I am able to get everyone out for an...

My two dogs definately have fleas at this point, so I treated them with Frontline to help with it. My lionhead rabbit does not appear to have any and I intend to keep it that way by any [safe] means. What can I do?

In the past month: I have losta family member,moved, been getting ready to move again, lost my job, repaired my car and been to the vet twice with my bun to battle a stubborn case of the snuffles. As a new rabbit owner,I would be going insane if it weren't for RO! Despite the loads of research...

Thanks for your help everyone! I took him in on Wednesday to a new vet that I haven't seen before. She has 2 rabbits at home and, of course, knew what she was talking about! He's on Baytril now and doing much better. I wasn't expecting the medicine to cost so much, but as long as he's...

We'll miss you! My father recently joked that he is giving up going to church for lent.:P
