Binyum needs teeth filing and is booked in tomorrow. Vet doesn't think EC is what caused loss of balance due to not being exposed to other bunnies, but will do an inner ear check while she is under anaesthetic tomorrow. I gave her metacam and critical care, banana and apple flavour. She looks...

Just an update, going to vet at 3:45pm Binyum has a wet mouth and not eating and drinking as much. Last time she had her teeth filed in October, she needed two extractions as well. I'm wondering if there is a connection to her falling over and maybe teeth troubles? I will still ask for bloodwork...

Thank you for the advice, will follow up with another vet for a second opinion on Binyum's issue. Relieved to get good advice on this site. Very appreciative!

Hi everyone! Haven't been on for a while but have a concern with our lion head bunny Binyum. She started losing her balance and falling over both outside her cage in her bunny friendly room and in her cage. We took her to the vet but she didn't display balance issues. Her head isn't tipping and...

Good news!! Olive may finally be fighting off the mites that have troubled her for so long. Her skin doesn't look as inflamed and she isn't itching as much. We will still give her two more doses just to ensure they won't return. Very happy for her! She is one tough bunny and very loving despite...

Thanks! Will check into that. Olive may be showing some signs of improvement but will probably end up giving her 4 doses just to be sure we are rid of the mites.

No, the vet just saw it was a mite under her microscope and prescribed Ivermectin. She said if there was no improvement by next dose which will be Olive's 3rd dose then the vet will take another skin scraping and send it to an Entomologist at the University to get an accurate identity of the...

Came back from vet's with Olive, she is concerned about the type of mite we are dealing with. The vet has decided that if necessary we will be giving her up to four doses of Ivermectine to get rid of the infestation. The vet believes it came from either the Timothy hay or the shavings we bought...

Latest pics of Olive after coconut oil treatment, will be happier when she feels better and fur grows back.��

Thanks for response Majorv, I purchased coconut oil to use diluted with warm water to try a comb out the flakes and soothe her skin, second injection of invermectine coming up this Friday, hopefully will see her feeling better after that.

Hi! Still struggling with mite issues.😔 Olive had first shot of invermectine on May 2nd, however she has a bad infestation. Due for next shot May 9th, meantime vet has advised giving coconut oil to soothe her skin and help with infestation as well as derma-gel for her irritated bum. She...

Fur mite diagnosis Just a follow-up on how my bunnies are doing, Olive was confirmed to having mites with a skin scraping. Binyum our lionhead had no symptoms but was given an injection of Ivomec as a precautionary. Both bunnies go back for a second shot in 10 days, Olive needing a possible 3rd...

Hi! I haven't been on for a while, just found dandruff on our boarder bunny we are caring for till September. Olive is very sensitive on her back and itchy, the smooth fur is lifting due to her flakes so will be booking her in ASAP to get her checked. My concern is for our second bunny, lionhead...

Binyum had her teeth filed today at the vet clinic. It went very well!:D She is now at home testing her teeth on her timothy hay hut. Her upper molars were fine but her lower molars had sharp cusps on them which was probably cutting her tongue, so I am relieved she got them filed. She will be...

Thank you for your response, the vet called back and Binyum will be going in tomorrow. Still worried about the surgery but it's our only hope for her right now.:pray: In the meantime the vet suggested baby food by syringe so she at least gets some fluids and nutrition for today. hope all goes...
