My 8 year old bun had what we thought was an EC exacerbation 2 weeks ago. He was on Panacur for about 10 days and his hemoglobin dropped to less than half, liver enlarged. We stopped Panacur. For 3 days he’s been on SC Fluids and Critical Care. He smells his food (all kinds of hay to entice him...

What should she do? Should she try to move them out of her yard? I have no idea. Her dogs will eat them if not! I told her to call SPCA wildlife tomorrow but what should she do for now?

I got a bunch of beet tops at the farmer's market tonight. They were mixed in with carrot tops. Can rabbits eat beet tops? I looked online and some sites say yes, while others say it can cause gas and GI stasis.

I have a new foster bun. She's a tiny albino rex. She saw the vet before I got her because she had thick mucous developing in her left eye, and her right eye is very watery. The vet prescribed Ofloxacin/mucomyst solution for her eyes (twice a day), along with warm compresses and massage...

Monterey County's Animal Friends Rescue Project is overwhelmed with rabbits. Two weeks ago, 75 were found dumped in a field. Local vets spayed and neutered all of them, and many went to great homes and foster homes. However, many are still up for adoption. If you're near this area and...

I got a bunny out of the shelter today to foster for our local rescue. He is all white, and was dumped in a field with 75 other bunnies. :( He is covered in yellow stains, and his feet are filthy. I did take him to the vet right away, and she suggested just wiping him off with a wipe. I tried...

So we have a 10 month old neutered male who was bonded to his brother until they hit puberty and began to fight. He has been a single bun ever since. We adopted a spayed female bun (age unknown, but acts young) and tried to bond them. We took them for a car ride together in a carrier from a...

I took 1.5 year old Rodger to the vet about 6 hours ago. I was out of town for a week and came home last night. He was acting aloof but I thought he was mad. His mate is acting normally. Today I noticed he stayed in a corner of the cage all day and didn't want to come out. When he...

I'm thinking of switching to Care Fresh litter for a week while we have a pet sitter. Our local rescue place fills a litter box with half Care Fresh and half hay, which makes for easy clean up. We currently use Aspen chips with a grate over top. I'd like to try the Care Fresh to make life easier...

I am fostering a rescue bun that was taken from a hoarder. She was one of 114 buns who were severely neglected and starving and living on wire. :( She got spayed 6 days ago and is doing well from that. She is extremely thin, and I don't know how old she is (but they are guessing less than a...

We're going to keep him now, of course. I just hope we don't end up as bunny hoarders! LOL! www.ilovemyhouserabbit.com

Our foster bun, Hammie, has been acting "off" today. We let him out and he just loafed all day. Tonight he's refusing food and drink and treats. His tummy feels soft, and he did poop and pee in his box today. Is this GI stasis? He's always been indoors and not around other bunnies--only my cats...

We rescued Cinnabun in January from a drug house where she was kept in a tiny cage full of feces and only got food when the owners remembered. She now lives in her own bun room with access to a safe, fenced yard in which she plays for most of the day. She also now has a husbun and they are...

Edit: I meant the bump is under her EYE, not nose! I was holding my bun tonight and found a small, pimple-like bump about an inch under her left eye. I had a hard time visualizing it due to all her fur, but saw that it's white and hard. It doesn't seem to bother her. She does go outside...

We live in a climate with the average year-round temp being 60 degrees, and only fluctuating +/- 10 to 15. Currently it is about 50 degrees outside and foggy. My buns live in a fully enclosed and roofed patio. The room is carpeted and they have a large hutch full of blankets and beds, but...

Hello all, I got a call from a friend this morning whose bunny started dragging her hind legs and was soaked in urine. She took her to the vet, who said bun either has a UTI (urine test showed blood) or cancer. She was put on 2 weeks of antibiotics and the vet said if that doesn't work, it's...

The buns have a couple of nesting boxes in their cage that are great because of the plastic mesh that goes over the litter. Poop stays on top and can easily be scooped off, while the pee falls through to the bottom. Now that they're out in the room free-range at night, I put a cat litter box...

Our buns have a brand new, custom built giant cage thanks to my FIL. While FIL was here, he also completely enclosed our partially-enclosed patio. So now the patio is the "bun room" and I open the door to let them in the yard during the day. Since the bun room is now completely enclosed and...

One or both of my buns have started pooping in and near their hay area, despite having 2 litter boxes in their condo that are freshly cleaned daily. They do still poop in the litter boxes, but the pooping in the cage is very new. Any idea why they're doing this? And how do I stop it?

My buns have free range of my (small, enclosed, heavily shaded) yard during the day when I'm home. As a result, I have many piles of poops all over the place! I used a dust pan and brush, then a pan and a spade to get the beans up. It was very difficult, as the little turds kept falling down...
