Is your guy eating lots of veggies? Because if so maybe the dark urine is just because of the vegetable pigments in his urine. At least I hope its that! I have had some worries in the past about my other bunny (Lucy) and her urine but it has always been down to a lot vegetable pigment. I simply...

I am so sorry to hear that :( Sounds a bit like us a few months ago hoping his jaw was all better but the vet found more :( Are you giving your bun the bicillin injections every other day? Also how long has he had this abscess for? Sounds like he is a fighter though so fingers crossed for him...

Well I am glad your little fella came through alright :) Though I don't think advising others to do the same would be a good idea! Like for my guy it was a tooth root abscess, so to drain that would be right down to his jaw bone. I guess the true cause of the abscess is what you should assess it...

I look forward to it :D xxo

Fingers crossed for your guy. Sounds like he is dealing with it wonderfully though :) Do keep me updated I would love to know how your guy gets on! Heres a picture of my guy chilling out yesterday. His fur isn't growing properly on his cheek and hes rockin that look lol :D

It has been like a year or something since you posted this and I have only just now seen it! Doh! I think using chamomile tea is effective as it is gentle and antibacterial. I think the most important thing we were probably doing wrong at the time was not drying bunny thoroughly enough. We use a...

Its really not strange at all when you are supposed to wean them at 8 weeks. Only breeders wean them sooner and I certainly am not one of them! I check his teeth regularly and he eats everything (pellets and hay). He has had small amounts of fresh grass also which he loves. I realise...

Aww bless him! He is gorgeous :) He looks so well now! Well he didn't look unwell in the first picture, but its lovely to see your bun abscess free again :) It's good that he didn't stop eating. I think that is the worst thing. Fortunately my boy never stopped eating throughout he always loves...

Thanks a lot! Seems as Storm is a such a hay lover alfalfa is probably a very good idea. Im just a bit worried about moving him to his outside hutch when hes so skinny! I'll give it a try and keep weighing him to ensure he is putting on weight :)

Im sorry you've had to go through this with your bun! Its a worrysome time. Always knowing it 'could' come back puts me a bit on edge sometimes! How is your bunbun doing? My boy had 4 surgeries with the last one being the most successful as they had to go right down to his bone. Also we were...

Hey everyone. I have been busy lately as we had two rescues and one was pregnant! She gave birth 8 weeks ago and I have noticed the 'runt' of the litter is still very small. Its a litter of 6 and the other boys are between 700-800g. The runt is only 470g! They are still with mommy...

Sorry its been ages since I updated this thread - not even sure if anyone is still following! My boy Benji is doing good. He unfortunately had another abscess come back in the same place (with a vengeance :() so he had another surgery. He had catheters inserted so the vets could fully flush...

Have you had any more success cleaning out the abscess? It must be very hard cleaning out the wound if your bun is aggressive :( Make sure the vet shows you exactly how to clean the wound out would be my best advice! One of the hardest things for me was not knowing what to scrape out and what...

Well so far so good. I realise the bicillin treatment is a long one, but a month in and there is no signs of regrowth. The vet was very very excited about his progress two weeks ago, and he is due in to see the vet this friday. She is very excited about getting his x rays done again too. She...

With lots of hand washing they seem fine :) Just no stroking my young unspayed female then touching my adults! Phew! Was really worried when she attacked him like that. All my fault haha! Thanks for your comment tho :) Louladoll xxo:anotherbun

Thanks so much for your response. The new bunnies arent even within sight of my female adult bunny. Just because she can smell her on my hands/clothing is enough to set a fight off tho. I just feel sorry for my male bunny. He has no idea why shes so angry with him right now! I have no...

Hello, Long story short we have been bonding our adult male and female bunnies for the last two weeks. They have been in close contact for 5 years so bonding hasn't been hard so far. However today we had to rescue two rabbits. They are both very young and one is female. Obviously she is...

As for Benji.... He was not happy after his vet visit on friday. The vet noticed a lump near his tear duct and was concerned the abscess had spread in a different direction. Under closer inspection she found that to be the case, so he has been re-opened and now has two holes in his cheek :(...

Poor guy! Whats his name? Yeah my boy had x rays done. But he is a bit difficult because his teeth actually stopped growing a long time ago, so he has been unable to eat normal food/hay/greens since then (he has pellets softened by water with added vitamins). So when they took his x ray his...

I have read lots about the Manuka honey but we are using something different which is working great! So we are going to keep using that, but thanks anyway :)
