I'm so sorry about Louie. I think you're making the right decision - he can enjoy his last however long with you and Bernie. No matter what decision you make I think you (I certainly do) torture yourself that you should have made the other decision. At least you can spend this time with him...

Unfortunately I don't think a UK vet would inject with penicillin more frequently than once a week. It's so far from the (UK) standard doseage. It always amazes me how much variation there is between different countries, we first encountered this with one of our cats, a few years ago,when he...

Their coats look so velvety. I bet you get people queueing up to stroke them at the fairs!

LOL! Snorting bunny fur sounds like a good pastime! I must admit I love to burrow into their fur! I'd better steer clear of rexes, if they're addictive, as my will power is not good! :happybunny: Andrea

Hello, The greenish stuff is the scab/crust on the lesions. The colour on screen is a bit off, it's more a yellowy colour ("normal" scab colour, if you know what I mean). Each time the lesions clear up his skin looks very healthy, but our vet is hoping for a fungal infection to show up on the...

Hi Dawn, Thank you for that information, I'll ask my vet if that can be used over here when I speak to her tomorrow. Fingers crossed we can use it, and give it a go. Andrea & Dougal

Hello :anotherbun Do you breed Rexes? I've never actually seen a rex "in the fur" LOL!only in photos. Who is the very handsome bun in your avatar? I love seeing all the gorgeous avatars - I must get mine uploaded, Not sure which bun to use for that....

Thank you for the welcomes - I love the term "bunny slave"! Andrea

Hi Crystal, Thank you for the welcome and your kind words:) I've been rescuing buns for just over 4 years now - it's a bit of a chaotic madhouse here LOL! Andrea

The penicillin must be given by injection, and is given usually for 3 injections, with a gap of 7 to 10 days between each one. The rabbit must be very carefully watched for an hour after each injection to make sure of no anaphylactic (sp??!) shock, and must be checked for digestive upsets over...

Bun Back Rider! (Bare-back rider) Andrea :happyrabbit:

Hello, I've just joined up today. What a great forum this is :0) My name is Andrea and I run a rabbit rescue in the North East of England. We currently have 41 rabbits here. Andrea & the rabbits :headflick::rabbithop

Hi, I apologise in advance for this long post, but I would love to be able to finally find something to make Dougal permanently into the well and happy bunny that he is between outbreaks. Dougal came to our rescue in May 2009, after being "left behind" along with 3 other rabbits when a man...
