My baby girl, Pepper, is now gone. She fought as long as she could. :cry4::cry4: Peppers head tilt and behavior that started a day before her death was due to her infection working its way into her brain, there was nothing we could do anymore (We certainly tried everything under the sun for...

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers, guys. Last night Pepper developed, completely out of nowhere, an instant case of the wobbles. She can't make it into her cage without assistance as she needs to hop up, and her eyes are rapidly moving. I can only assume this is wry neck even though there...

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers - she's still acting normal today, so I'm not as worried anymore. Naturally, my thoughts are always on her (AKA, I'm freaking out a lot!) but seems great after the scare I had. I don't mix her duo-pen with anything, neither one of the Vets have mentioned...

Of course, that course of action is always on my mind when anything happens, as she has been having problems for over 2 years. Ultimately, she is alert, affectionate, has a good appetite, and I don't think there is any reason right now to do that. Pepper hasn't been worse in any way for almost a...

Oh, I thought I should add that if it was a stroke.. it's hard to me to tell any sort of facial problems. Pepper has no eye on one side, and her face is very distorted on said side from multiple surgeries, and a growing infection. She hasn't had a surgery since last May, I believe, so it's...

Hi there - tonight after giving Pepper her Duo Pen injection, she started breathing heavily, sort of whimpering, stretching a bit, and stiffened up both her front and back legs (mostly front). Afterwards (I was holding her at the time rubbing on her injection site like I always do to calm her...

Nancy - Thank you.. We really do appreciate that! Imbrium - No worries, I appreciate you guys for trying. I also emailed you tonight! I hope it was the right email! :)

Hi, y'all! Does anybody know of any products OTHER than a neosporin type of deal that I can put on Peppers open wounds? She had a lot fill up in her face in too many different spots and the skin got so thin between them, it's pretty open right now. She doesn't act like it phases her, but I...

My rabbit has needed clipping since she was just a baby, she was born with seriously misaligned teeth and won't chew on toys or much hay because of it. I have one vet that recommended clipping them (nail clippers, etc) and another that recommended having them filed with a low speed power tool...

Oh goodness! Thank you SO much for the donation, Pepper and I truly appreciate your compassion! Pepper really IS a trooper! She has been through so much, a never ending journey! She is so loving and sweet though, so the troubles make it worth it to me!

Hi again everybody! Thought I would post another update, this time with a couple thumbnails of pics taken today! Pepper now gets her medications in 2 different places which brought down the cost a smidge (about 20 bucks a month). We were able to buy an entire bottle of the Duo Pen for her...

I couldn't afford a pet insurance for my perpetually sick bun, but I did apply for the Care Credit Card... used just like a credit card for vet bills (and human doctor bills too!) Other than the fact that I lost quite a bit of points on my credit score for applying TWICE because the numbers...

I can't see the pictures, but from my bunny experience... she gets bumps and sores from her injections (she gets one every other day) Sometimes it is caused by me possibly not putting the needle in fully, causing a bubble and sometimes it it simply from too many injections in the same area. I'm...

My bunny had had some quirks in the past with eating and picky behavior... When she is going though bouts of not eating a way to jumpstart her that has always worked was to make a "rabbit smoothie" with some carrot or other veggies, water, hay, few pellets, whatever she loves and is healthy for...

Sorry about the delay in getting back over here. Miss Pepper is still alive and kicking (I have been so so busy!) she was able to get an xray with a helpful donation from my mother and it's a sure thing that she needs all of her teeth out. They don't want to take them out until her face...
