Our female mini rex, Brie, started with a little lump on the edge of her ear, and now she has lumps on her back rump area and on the other ear. We took her to the vet because we weren't sure if it had to do with molting or something else. Our rabbit savvy vet took some samples, but didn't see...

I have cared for sick bunnies before, but this is different. We have a rabbit savvy vet who has years of experience in both her practice as well as in rescues. She seems even stumped at this one. Ginger was diagnosed first with GI stasis. Then after they were able to get a poo sample, they...

I have posted a thread over in Health and Wellness, but I wanted to ask this question because I can't get in touch with my rabbit savvy vet and her tech that is on duty tonight didn't have enough knowledge to give me answers. Our rabbit is being treated for GI stasis and coccidia. She isn't...

We have three rabbits total, but they all have their own separate living spaces in our home. Our little gal, Ginger, has not been acting like herself after this most recent heat wave. We have tried to keep our living room space very cool, but even on the worst day, with our central air running...

We have these tiny little bugs in our window and some around the house. I think I have it narrowed down to either booklice or clover mites. They look more like booklice which seem to be harmless and they are probably around because our windows had some mildewy areas because it doesn't get sun...

Our bunny Chester was diagnosed with spondylosis last fall. He was a rescued bunny when he was about a year old, and we found out that likely the reason they got rid of him was because he was dropped and injured. He had a bad toe or foot and put more pressure on one side due to a mild limp...

We found a dead mouse body in our Oxbow Timothy hay. We have already notified the company and they are replacing the bag. They claim that there is very little possibility that our rabbits will get sick, but they assured us if they did, they would pay for our rabbits to see the vet. So...

Our older rabbit, a mini lop, who is a little over 7 years old, has started having a few issues lately. He had this happen before, so we treated it like we have in the past, but this time, something different happened. So, in the past, the rabbit savvy vet determined that it was bladder...

Romaine lettuce in the US - e-coli breakout. https://www.today.com/health/romaine-lettuce-linked-outbreak-e-coli-13-states-t120778?cid=sm_npd_td_fb_ma My question - what are you going to feed your rabbits during this time? Our rabbits are addicted to their romaine. Most of them haven't had...

Chester is about 7 years old, and he was a rescue. When we got him, he had a pre-existing injury to his back leg. Our rabbit savvy vet thinks he was dropped, and the person didn't get treatment for his foot. So, he walked lop sided, and then this caused arthritis. He is on metacam twice...

Our rabbit savvy vet believes our sweet bunny has pneumonia. 😥 She had a bad episode the other night and then when we got her to the vet in the morning, she had an X-ray and they said that the lungs were congested. The vet is keeping her but she said she is still in serious condition...

We have been gone off and on for some of the day. When I last checked on her, about four or five hours ago, she was doing fine. She is indoors, in a very large cage (and she does get out almost every other day to get exercise), and our house is air conditioned. But, someone in the house...

The incision spot seems to be completely healed, but as the fur is growing back, the incision area fur is all crusty. I'm just wondering if this is normal? What should we do to care for this area? Should we just try to remove the crusty stuff? It doesn't look like scabs, it just looks like her...

Our bunny Brie, a mini rex, about 3-3 1/2 years old, was not spayed when she was younger. We got her originally for a FFA project, before we really knew anything about rabbits. Her purpose was for us to breed her, but she never became pregnant after being bred a few times with our other mini...

We are fostering a spayed Lionhead, I think she is about 5 months old now. She has been a crazy gal, keeping us on our toes! We have given her all sorts of toys, newspaper, fresh hay, pellets, and some daily greens. She has a huge cage and gets out once a day, five days a week or more for a...

She is a rescue, and they believe she is about 4 months old. She is very small, and we don't know anything other than she wasn't socialized with people or handled until she was rescued. She has been sitting in our vet's waiting area for a while, hoping to be adopted. We may end up adopting...

Our six year old mini lop was a rescue. He came to us with a crooked toe and as he got older, he had to be treated for arthritis due to his messed up walking. The toe is likely an injury sustained while he was with his previous owner according to our vet. Came home today to some blood, some...

I'm a bit worried with her being overweight because she has not been able to really clean out her scent glands, and we usually do that for her. The rabbit belongs to my adult daughter who was away at school for the last two years and I have cared for the rabbit until she came back home for the...

We have a bunny that was a show bunny in the past. The breeder we purchased him from used to feed him oats. We continued this practice for a short while when my daughter showed him, but he was quickly retired after two show seasons because it just wasn't what my daughter wanted to do anymore...

I have been reading about this all afternoon. We have a mini lop and he excessively grooms to the point that he is missing fur on his legs. We have consulted our very rabbit savvy vet, and she said she thought it was due to his discomfort with his arthritis. He is on daily pain meds...
