Hi Everyone, For those of you who have had to give your bunnies penicillin injections, how often and for how long did you have to give them? Due to lack of support from my current vet and the difficulty getting appts with real experienced exotics vets around me, I am looking for information on...

They are adorable! I don't have anything new to add, just wanted to comment on their photo. They look very relaxed together although rabbits are so strange- they can turn on a dime.

I have the same problem with sleeping- it's been horrible lately! I cannot sleep for more than 1-2 hours at a time and while I love my bunnies, I do not appreciate the constant destruction and noise. Mine are free roam- no cage- and it's the same thing as you described, OP- they do things to get...

I think you definitely need pain meds- meloxicam is usually what they prescribe to give orally at home, but buprenorphine is also an option. If you Google "pain medication for rabbits" you can see the types of meds. One thing recommended to have in a "bunny first aid kit" is Bayer's children's...

Yeah, for such loving, sensitive and intelligent animals, bunnies can be really brutal to reach other! Something similar happened with my rabbits after my little guy, Lukie, had to go to the vet. First time they were not bonded, but separated by a fence across the kitchen (very attractive...

Hi Everyone, I know I'm new here but I'm desperately in need of advice. I had been taking my rabbit to a vet whom I trusted for many years. He always did his molar spur trims no problem. This time he did THREE trims and Lukie, my bunny, still wasn't eating. Two weeks of suffering and counting...

I'm so very sorry, I know there are no words. I've lost three rabbits and it seems that beyond the obvious sadness and loss, a common theme is that we question whether we did enough, did too much, should've done something else, etc. I think it's because they are so fragile and it's so hard to...

Definitely sounds like gas to me! My bunnies have all done that at one time or another- some rather frequently. First, try to think of any food she has eaten that day that was different. If she had the same food as always, obviously it wasn't related to that. Often there is no obvious reason...

Hi JBun, That's exactly what I'm thinking, that his teeth aren't quite meeting up so he can't grind his hay. I'm hoping that it's just an easy fix, maybe one molar being a bit higher than the others. I do feel like using a Dremel drill would make it easier to shape the teeth and control the...

Yes, as Preitler said, belly massage!!! I gently massage like I'm kneading bread lightly, and then kind of stroke toward the hind end of the bunny, like I'm trying to move things along. I also jiggle the belly as quickly as I can with my hand. If she's grinding her teeth, it might be gas...

I'm so sorry you're going through this, I know how scary it is and how we never feel as if we are doing the right thing or enough. Has your vet prescribed anything for pain? Usually they give meloxicam/Metacam and that can help as rabbits often won't eat if they are in pain. Have you tried...

Hi Everyone, My 5 year old neutered male bunny, Luke, gets molar spur trims every 2-3 months. We go to the same vet, who has over 30 years experience, he uses isoflorane gas and clippers/file. I wish he used a Dremel drill to buzz them but he doesn't and neither do any other vets around here...

Hi Everyone, I have two 7 year old rabbits, a neutered/spayed couple. My boy, Bun Bun, is having some balance issues right now. It's probably either an ear infection or E. cuniculi- I'm hoping for an ear infection but he's getting Panacur just in case. The last time this happened, my vet...
