I'm dealing with ringworm now. You can wait for a week, it SHOULDN'T get too bad. IS she scratching/biting? If you choose to wait, monitor very closely. How I found out mine had it was because she chewed off all the nails on her back feet and is now making a very big wound on the sole of her...

Ok guys! So I am back from the vet today with news, kind of. The vet that I saw is definitely a rabbit expert, Dr. Saver. She was recommended on this forum. The hospital is just for bunnies and kitties, and there were so many bun buns! Anyway, she said normally they would do a "toothbrush...

Hello all, and thanks! I corresponded to some rebbit people online and everyone thinks fungus. I am getting angry at my vet, for as good as he is with birds, he seems clueless about rabbits. To start, one of my new expert people who works for one of the rabbit societies as a vet, says...

Because everyone appears to be clueless, I decided to take things into my own hands. I did some research that indicates it is possible she is suffering from Onychomycosis, i.e. nail fungal infection. This makes sense because her nails look like they have a fungus, not just a problem being torn...

If his poops are negative for critters then I would probably stop the veggies for a while. I would also do my best not to be giving three different pellets. This could cause upset. My advice is to stick with one timothy-based pellet. He can survive just fine eating hay for a while and in that...

Yes, Nancy, I would really recommend asking your vet to do a blood test for Treponema (the critter responsible for Syphilis).Even though it is a bit pricey, as all blood tests are, it is well worth it. Please do put up a picture if you can and I will tel you if it looks like what Shelby...

Thank you for your prayers and kind wishes. Unfortunately after all that we have NO answers at all. The bloods came back 100% normal and the vet is completely stumped. He contacted an exotic animal expert that I believe mentored him, and he has no clue as well. The only thing he came up with is...

Oh and I also ordered her the Booster supplement from Harrison's. I hear great things in about it, in that it strengthens animals' immune systems and in general makes them healthier. Hope she is 100% soon...

Hey! Thanks for mentioning the Bene-bac. I actually did purchase it and forgot to ask about it, I am confused about its administration. 1 Gram is one tab on the Syringe (I have the 15 gm Syringe, but I am a little cautious, it seems so unreliable as a measurement. Today I just gave her two drops...

Hey everyone, I come back to update everyone of Shelby and her feet. Two toes ended up getting really bad and seeped a lot of blood and got infected. Today we get back from the vet with a new 20-day dose of Baytril and some topical stuff. We also did a full blood test to see what's going on...

Would you mind posting a picture? I went through rabbit syphilis with Shelby and how it started is the corner of the eye was a bit red and swollen, but over a week time her eye was completely crusted over and closed and started transferring to the other eye. At first we were given antibiotics...

By the way, Nala is GORGEOUS

Great! So that is reassuring. Now I am more confused than ever though about the cause of her nail issue...I was kinda excited about finding out it was the diet. Cause the diet is easy to change. Now I am back to trying to figure it out...

Heh you know i don't know how i was dumb enough not to notice all that. Yes that is the food. Does it look good then? Do you think giving a small amount if alfalfa Hay in addition to the Timothy will help her? Since it is pretty high in protein. Thanks fire your replies, everyone.

She is on Zupreem nature's promise, and yes it is 100% timothy. What other ingredients would you say her pellets should have? I will go to a store and get some? Or give me some good brands. I also give her a lot of varied veggies. Lots of dark greens, sometimes carrot, red sweet pepper, radish...
