    Does anyone want their bunny drawn?

    Harrow & I both moved away so I could attend school. When I first got here I hurt my hands & could not draw or take notes in school, but that has healed somewhat. I can draw but I do not have a scanner. I have a new computer so maybe there's a chance of taking webcam pictures. I'm really sorry...

    The Grey Eyed Gentleman

    I got into Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Science. The semester starts May 28th. Aah, there's so much to doooo~ my biggest priority for the move is finding a bigger cage for Harrow since I will be away at classes & he will need to have access to a litter box. I will have to quit my job at the...

    The Grey Eyed Gentleman

    Richard Harrow is… not easy for me to emphasize with physically. I just can’t comprehend living with an injury that severe. I can’t imagine it, tho’ I’ve tried. But on that subject, I love how the injury limit’s the character. They actually show it being...

    How dangerous are pinworms?

    12 different hays, holy cow! I'm amazed that any rabbits would be that picky. They're grazers, I would have thought they'd eat anything! Goodness, though, I'm certainly glad to reap the benefits of your search. Hah, oats! Thanks for writing reminders. I like doing stuff with my hands, no matter...

    How dangerous are pinworms?

    I'm glad your little bun got better. Mine didn't. I had a mini rex (Jessie), a Himalayan mix (Snuggles) & a mini lop (Pancakes). All were indoor rabbits, but we had a hutch so they could get some sun in the springtime. Snuggles went off her food... Pan was always a bubbly, happy-go-lucky one...

    How dangerous are pinworms?

    Missycove- I can understand species-specific parasites, after all, there are species-specific viruses, but it baffles me that somehow these things are not harmful. And thanks for the tip! Sorry about being confusing. :)

    Dixon ~ Needs Special Home

    Well SHOOT. I could care for this darling. I know I could! I'm very patient & have worked with a few... damaged... rabbits before. I'm fairly good with skittishness & I think since this fellow loves love, being petted & such, my gentle Harrow would be a good match for him. Unfortunately my...

    How dangerous are pinworms?

    Good to know about the papaya. I do see poo strung together with hair, but few & far between & I'm brushing him regularly. I will indeed switch to Oxbow. I think I saw some in the store the other day. Goodness, really?! I'd be comfortable PMing you, certainly. Your generosity astounds me...

    How dangerous are pinworms?

    That's what the vet said too, but I can't wrap my mind around something as prolific a breeder/feeder as worms being asymptomatic. O.o Apparently most people buy the treatment for their own peace of mind; it has nothing to do with the rabbit's health, as you said. & this may not eradicate them...

    How dangerous are pinworms?

    Yes! The whole visit was $74. For a thorough exam, meds & smear. I was concerned that it might be several hundred, but $74 doesn't require me to pay in installments. Also a resounding yes on the bootie check. I'm a pretty laid-back person in general, but I'm very overprotective about this one...

    I had never heard of megacolon. Thankfully he doesn't have that. The vet was satisfied with the ratio of large to small & also said that the sample I brought in was a very healthy one. She also thoroughly examined his tummy, but of course he wasn't gurgling at all when we went in. Thanks...

    How dangerous are pinworms?

    Flies should be coming along any day now. We've finally started to have lovely weather, yay! We went to the vet, they were indeed pinworms. I'm so glad they weren't maggots-- had an experience with myiasis that left suffering & emotional scars. Got some medicine called 'Panacur'. 2 doses was...

    Forgot to mention that he gets one scoop of pellets per day, but our scooper is big. I feed him in the morning & It's usually almost gone by the next morning.

    How dangerous are pinworms?

    Why on earth would some opt not to treat worms? They breed prolifically & always have the potential to reach danger-levels. I have a thing about parasites, ugh.

    How dangerous are pinworms?

    His poo has always been inconsistent. It's not a recent thing. From the comment to Imbrium: When I received him he was leaving 2 inch long cecals on the ground. I would find 3 in a a period of an hour or so. Ridiculous! At that point he was eating a colorful brand of cheap food with seeds...

    How dangerous are pinworms?

    I haven't checked the dog's poop lately, but I will the next time she goes out. The two don't really socialize because the dog is wary of Harrow, but they have been in the same area/same floor multiple times before. $300-$500 is around the same figure I was thinking too. I feel very bad about...

    How dangerous are pinworms?

    The vet appointment is for 2 this afternoon. Well, good to know that it's host specific! Still... you know how people have this mindless, irrational fear/hatred of spiders? I kind of feel that way about parasites. They disgust me on some primal level that I've never been able to shake. I'd...

    How dangerous are pinworms?

    Oh, lovely, another article. Thanks! *hug* Y'know what? My coworker, who gave me the rabbit, also owns a horse. Maybe she has some Safeguard paste lying around. I'll ask my vet about it first, though. I'd like a list anyway for future reference. I don't see why they wouldn't take the sample...

    How dangerous are pinworms?

    Thank you very kindly for your quick reply. Yes, I read that they are species-jumpers. Ugh. Admittedly, I am far from diligent when it comes to washing my hands! But I will be mindful & start that habit. I do live with some humans & a dog. It had not occurred to me to call my doctor but that is...

    How dangerous are pinworms?

    I just cleaned the litterbox & found worms in my grey eyed gentleman's excrement. Google tells me they are likely pinworms, which I am reading up on now. The articles I found are helpful but academic. I'd like to hear your personal stories. Specifically wondering: 1. Would you worry? Have you...
