Hi--two rounds of bad news is unfortunate for anyone. "Boogers" and eye goop is indicative of an infection which if not handled with antibiotics very early on takes over. Your one bun sounds like a respiratory infection filled the lungs. The rabbit couldn't breath and gasped. This is not...

Hi--the Bene-bac is "Plus", and I'm glad I was able to get an upgrade for the best results. That's all the store carries, anyway. It's the powder form. Some say the gel absorbs into the gut better. You mention England. I think bene-bac originated there, while for a while, here, you could...

Hi, Saffy-- I have searched in vain for that website. But the good news is you found an appropriate vet. I located a good article on e.cuniculi, you may wish to look at. The link works...

now he's happy as ever! That's what we want to hear!:brown-bunny

Well, I took her off the cisapride and had transitioned with Bene-bac in the process. What I worried about was a gut trained on the stimulant, and we had a bout with messy stool, but the Bene-bac really restored her immediately. My vet wanted me to stop the med in 5 days, which would have been...

Hi--I am trying to locate that rabbitry on line. I contacted her back in 2011, and I may have something printed out I'll have to dig for. While researching I found this from 2004 on this site: I took the photo below at a rabbit show yesterday of a Holland Lop with a vertical white line down...

The most important thing is to make sure she is hydrated. Syringe water to her 3 times a day. This often loosens the hair block and straightens things out. Look for the normal poops. Tiny indicates a growing blockage in her gut. Also, find some Bene-Bac powder at your pet supply store or...

Answer: It works well. It got her gut working and she started eating, and at night it prevented a sluggish gut from creating unformed mushy stools. It is safe to use long-term. This is for all those of us who are finding the "saavy vet" getting tired of keeping up with the latest...

Here's something you may want to consider, and Luna's age depends a lot on this also. If she is an aged girl, the stress of another rabbit may weaken her immune system a bit. If this were my situation I would really think on that factor. By the way, 9 years plus for a dwarf is magnificent...

Hi--they just do that. They like to pee in various spots and in nature that is the thing to do. It is a territorial thing besides convenience. Older bunns can be expected to be incontinent, especially as sludge issues develop.:headflick:

Bene-Bac. This stuff is excellent for restoration of the GI. Just sprinkle some powder on wet greens. I've even put it in water to administer with a syringe. You don't need to give a whole teaspoon. I will always provide this with antibiotics, now, since only recently did I discover this...

What a great name for your guy--he looks like a Dutch. If this is so, that breed is an intelligent one. I've had these guys. They are curious and like to do stuff, and if you can develop a play station for him with boxes like tunnels that he can travel thru and chew, he may come out of his...

:headflick: Hi! Is your baytril a pill (piece of one )? I would stick the Byatril in a small piece of fresh banana and my guy would take it eagerly--and this Baytril was liver-flavored! Baytril dries out the poops a bit, that's normal. Antibiotics do that. If the snuffles is in the...

:headflick: Yep, this looks all too familiar.

For all that you do and have done, I really admire you! Thank you. We would not have known there is someone out there with such a large heart had you not began posting. 12 rabbits. Wew!!!!!!

I would just take the little guy in to a rabbit vet (exotics) for a general wellness exam, and they will work out the rest.

:headflick: Your bunny is showing signs of a gradual slowdown of the gut Your best action is to bring her to a knowledgeable vet. Teeth issues are best discovered when the bunny is anesthetized, so that the back molars (tending to be the culprit) are correctly seen and...

Sorry--I just caught the part where she's spayed--but dominance is never spayed away!

:headflick: Hi again--I'll bet your girl isn't spayed. That's O.K.--don't run out and get it done for this! I'm not a big fan anyway for spaying. Your chic is being dominant. She's showing you she's the boss. I work with this. I don't try to suppress it. I like a confident bunny. But...

Used to ride horses, especially in the English saddle. One of my instructors bought a 3 yr old thoroughbred from the track and that thing was a nervous nelly. She could hardly ride him without being thrown. From that day on I really avoided thoroughbreds. I don't blame you for your...
