Watermelons, I really cannot thank you enough. On the contrary, I am glad that you picked about the ketamine because I was able to remember more details that I probably wouldn't have been able to. I was a mess when I talked to him and obviously had mixed some things up or forgotten them. I am...

Thank you so much Watermelons. :hug2: That is why I have been so undecided. On one hand, the guy obviously knows and cares about rabbits. On the other, I would prefer to try someone else if there is anyone. So far, the only two that have met the criteria for the most part are the two that I...

You can always putter around the bath sections of hardware/home stores as well to see what you come up with. I was in Orchard (hardware store) and found what had to be one of the strangest inventions ever. An "in-tank magazine rack." It was a wire holder with a hook to hang on the tank of...

First, let me say thank you VERY much to both of you for such thoughtful and detailed responses. I really appreciate it. :) I'm sorry, I miss-typed that. I meant that the painkiller was given going into surgery, not coming out of it. I kept thinking about him coming out of surgery and put...

What happened? The procedure was very routine. He received a full checkup before and was in seemingly perfect health. He was put under anesthesia for a very brief period of time. The procedure itself lasted only five minutes. The vet prefers to keep rabbits under for as little time as...

Hi all. I am looking for some advice. I'll try to be as succinct as possible but it's kind of a long story. Last week I booked two unaltered males (two of the ones I've taken in) to be neutered. One has always had what appear to be allergies and the vet decided that he wanted to put him on...

Ah, recalls. Having worked in the pet industry, I know all about recalls. Including the fact that they happen constantly especially with the better brands. Pretty much all dog foods will be recalled a some point. Unfortunately it is just a fact of the pet food industry and it ends up being...

I agree entirely, though I don't know if he has quite reached sociopath level yet! :biggrin2: He definitely needs a talking to though. There is no reason whatsoever for an eight year old to wander onto someone's property and let their animals loose. They should know better by that age if...

For dog foods, Taste of the Wild is quite good and reasonable. It is grain-free and comes in five different flavors which is good for pickier dogs. The main thing to check with those is the protein level. You should probably start him out on something a bit lower (like their lamb or salmon...

That is probably the best thing for him. Did you say that he peed on the couch tonight? If so then he's not completely blocked up, which is good. When you say struggling, what exactly is he doing? Sometimes when litter trained animals (cats, rabbits, etc.) are uncomfortable or having a hard...

I second him seeing a vet ASAP. Do you still live in San Jose? If so, there are definitely vets near you that can treat rabbits. Here is the Rabbit Savvy Vet listing for CA. You shouldn't have to drive so far to find a vet if you are still in California.

Wow, I was gone for a few days and missed a lot! I am SO sorry about your father-in-law. I can relate with the craziness and it is never easy to deal with. I'm glad that you have Woody back though and are going to keep him. Sounds like that poor dog deserves a good forever-home. AJ is...

It is worth noting that it is not a matter of the kitten being "mean" or "nice" and it is not doing anything wrong. It is merely being a kitten. Depending on its age and how early it was taken from its mother and siblings, it could be a bit rougher simply because of its stage in development or...

Heh, thank you! I have a soft spot for Phoebe. I bought her on impulse when I saw her for sale at only around 5 weeks old, being trampled by a bunch of mini lops three times her size. I just couldn't help myself. :P Ellie is so cute! She looks as if she's going "What do YOU want?" Is that...

Yeah, she's a Netherland. :) This is a better picture of her, in bunloaf position. Or maybe more like bunroll, since she's so petite. Ugh, I HATE online pricing. I find something online and they have it in my local store, so I go to pick it up and it costs $20 more than it did on the...
