LOVE LOVE LOVE the dress!!!!!

UPDATE: Liffey made a full recovery. head is fully upright and he's back to his normal self. he's actually been better for awhile but after 3 months of morning sickness that really should be called all day and all night sickness i haven't been on the computer much to do any updates. Thank you...

My Liffey had head tilt 3 months ago. i was a wreck. I posted about it on here and everyone was VERY helpful and supportive. The one thing i found confusing is that everyone had a different opinion about how to treat his head tilt. some people didn't agree with what the vet put him on. i had run...

lol...fran you should be due to start working on another hooman yourself...isn't your little one over a year now?...lol....i'm just kidding i'm sure you got your hands full with your crew =) the zoo crew and the kid crew!

he's still not back to his normal self but it's only been two weeks so we shall see. i think in time he will have a full recovery. as for the new sibling...this should be interesting since this is our first baby. so liffey hasn't seen a little "hooman" ever....lol

he's actually doing quite well. he just finished 2 weeks of abt therapy and still has 2 to go but eat eats and drinks on his own. he is moving about his cage. he's in the small store-cage not the nic cage but for now that's good for him. if i leave the front door of the cage open he puts his...

with time things will change. my bun is OCD about his litter habbits but when he was a baby he'd poop everywhere. even now if i have to put him in the bunny cage to bring him to the vet (he's normally in a NIC cage) he'll poop everywhere. i think he just wants his smell on everything. i...

the down eye right now is doing good. but right now he also is holding his head up fairly well to clean himself. but then when he's done it flops back over. he's already on the bene-bac. that's the only med he likes right now. he's been drinking a lot of water now from his water bottle. i...

randy----do you think it's safe to administer liquid probiotic? i'm assuming a rabbit can't digest yogurt even in small quantities. i felt around lif's skin and truth is----he really doesn't have much meat. i'm thinking i'd have to inject in his hind leg. do you find the pectin in apple to...

Randy---if i were to switch to PCN and inject where do you inject? lif is like a bag of bones......he's a good eater but active so he never got any extra meat on him. it's funny---i inject people all the time and yet the thought of injecting lif makes me sick. i know i could and would do it if i...

fran---our vet in perkiomen was closed----along with practically every vet in our area. but doug found one here in bethlehem......Genevieve LaFerriere.....luckily she and her vet tech both have rabbits. I think at least until tuesday liffey is gonna have to keep on the current meds. mostly...

Fran......hopefully he'll get better. the poor thing---he tries so hard to play. he likes to take stick and throw them up in the air and then hops over to where they land to do it again. he's just knawing on the sticks now. he hops around. one thing i noticed is that as much as he wants to be...

the vet said she couldn't say for sure if it was a parasite or and ear infection. she is treating both. fenbendazole SMZ_TMP bene-bac

i'm only catching this thread now.....skimming thru the infirmary b/c my bun has head tilt. i completely understand how you feel. i literally almost threw up when i saw him. hubby ran him to the vet while i was at work and i just felt like a bunny-mommy failure. he's my baby and last night when...
