Eating only parrot food and herbs the poor bunny is probably malnourished. Your mom has to realize that rabbit food is best because it is specifically formulated to meet their needs. Maybe she needs to hear it from a vet? You could offer to pay for a vet visit for a checkup and nutritional...

Update: Penelope has been eating very well the past week. I took her to the vet today to have her blood rechecked, and her kidney levels are back to normal! 1.2 for creatinine and 19 for BUN. The vet is thinking she was a lot more dehydrated than I thought. She took an X-day and said her kidneys...

Also, when she gets gas you can give her small amounts of infant gas relief fluid - simethicone, about 1 milileter per hour.

Maybe try cutting kale and carrots. Kale can cause gas, and carrots have a lot of carbs which might also cause gas. Veggies that are less likely to cause gas include romaine and leaf lettuce, dandelion, cilantro, parsley, basil, and watercress. Celery is not really ideal as it is very low in...

I bought a bag of garden select recently for my 6-year-old since they carry it at Petco. At first I was very confused by all the varieties, but I noticed the nutritional values on the varieties are very similar. I'd say the ingredients seem better since it includes more hay instead of soy, but...

Is she spayed? When females aren't spayed they tend to follow people around and circle them, and may show aggression. If she's not spayed, spaying her with likely stop this behaviour. It will also prevent her from getting reproductive cancer, which is extremely common in female rabbits.

What greens do you feed?

I would not be concerned, unless the molting goes on for more than a few weeks. It's normal for rabies to shed in patches.

She is urinating okay, she might have been a little dehydrated when they did the bloodwork but it's hard to tell

What breed is he? My mini rex used to molt like crazy with bald patches.

I'll ask her about these other options, thanks

The only med i have is trimeth-sulfa which they gave in case there is an infection. My favorite rabbit vet is on vacation this week, but I have an appointment with her on Wednesday

I have a spayed 6-year-old Dutch rabbit, Penelope. I took her to the vet 4 months ago for a routine checkup, and they did blood work and said that her kidney levels were on the high end of normal. She seemed fine until this past Sunday when she stopped eating. I took her to another vet and they...

I decided to finish feeding the bag of romaine I already have. Some good alternatives my rabbit likes are red leaf or green leaf lettuce and organic dandelion greens.

My rabbit weighs 3.5 lbs and the vet gave me a kitten/puppy dose of Revolution, which is probably too little at 15 mg. JBun is right, if the tube is 45 mg then you should use the whole thing. 4.5 lbs is about 2 KG, so your rabbit needs 30-40 mg of selemectin (active ingredient in Revolution)...
