Hi all! Well I've been gone for a while here and I have a rabbit issue so I'm back :expressionless. We had some flies in my office (small ones) where the bunnies now stay. I had meant to clean Hazel's box out a few days before but never got to it. I'm 7.5 months pregnant and it's been a...

I'm so sorry, Haley. Basil is beautiful. He will be missed so much. I'm sending you hugs from all of us here at my home in Chicago. Binky free, handsome boy.:bigtears:

pamnock wrote: Yeah and the prob was the day I adopted her, she had just gotten in from a kill shelter in So. Illinois no more than an hour before. Who knows what the shelter was like down there. I'm sure the trip took a toll on her immune system as well. Poor thing.

pamnock wrote: If the rabbits were carriers, regardless of the fact that Sydney didn't get it from them, they may not get it, correct? Unless it's a diff strand of Bordatella. And as far as getting her vaccinated, I heard once they get it once that they may never get it again. Should I just...

pamnock wrote: The bunnies were in the other room but the air was open between them. However, I do believe she did get it from the shelter. From what I've been reading, Bordatella takes a while to show up. She was sneezing the day after I got her. Unfortunately, I wasn't too careful, except...

angieluv wrote: Thank you for moving it. :) Ok, regarding them being carriers, that's what I was thinking. The 3 bunnies have all been in the same room near each other for 2 years now, so yeah, if one had it then they all would by now I would think. Sydney (the puppy) is 12 weeks old. I...

angieluv wrote: You know, I think the first vet I went to for the first free puppy visit might have said that. In that case, the bunnies would be fine, right? If they were the carriers? And they wouldn't show any symptoms, correct? So far, no issues with the bunnies. They are in their clean...

angieluv wrote: Yeah the vet just called too. So, yeah...funtimes. I deep, DEEP cleaned their room (I had to get rid of flies so they were moved out to the other room that was open to Sydney's breathing. She hardly ever ventured there and never came in contact w/ the rabbits but still. :sigh...

Flashy wrote: Oh, no I understand Flashy. Thank you for the advice. I'm most concerned about Latte, who had an inner ear infection which turned into Head Tilt 2 years ago. His tilt is barely noticeable and I'd like to keep it that way. Hazel gets a goopy eye and Drizzle...when he's stressed he...

Flashy wrote: You mean change clothes everytime I have to deal with the rabbits? That's really impossible. I have to check on Latte and Hazel alot. The bunny room had been deep cleaned because of flies, so they were moved into the family room which is next to where Sydney is. There's a lot...

Well they do think this is Bordatella in the dog. I did call the rabbit vet however. He's going to call back after 3pm. I checked their noses and such, after THOROUGHLY washing my hands, and there is no discharge. Hazel's eye is goopy again, but that is a common prob for her when she sheds like...

Hi all. Well,my poor pup Sydney was just diagnosed with Kennel Cough. She was on antibiotics since last Friday (a week ago) w/ a mild case of Bordatella (basic Kennel Cough) but last night it became worse. So, like a good mommy, I took her to the vet this morning and she had it full on. She's on...

Thanks Rosie! I found some other good stuff too. Apparently, they hate fresh Basil: http://www.ehow.com/how_4464499_repel-house-flies.html Also, mint, lavender oil, cayenne pepper, oregano are known to detract flies. Perhaps an oil air freshener with lavender oil in the bunny room will...

Thank you all. I wonder, if flies don't like vanilla extract, would they also hate a vanilla scented plugin air freshener as well? There's gotta be a scent that repels them. I will try the fly sticky paper by the window as well. And, as far as I can tell, these were black flies with no...

So, here is my new adopted puppy Sydney! She's 12 weeks old and has a little cold, but otherwise she is adorable and incredibly smart. They think she's yellow lab and either golden or spaniel of some sort. She's not going to get that big; maybe up to 45lbs. The bunnies haven't been formally...

Hi all. Well, a while back, I had a problem w/ a fruit fly infestation in the bunny room. Now, since I've been going in and out of the house more frequently being summer, there were 4 small looking black flies (not fruit, more like house). I immediately checked bunny butts and cages. There...

Flashy wrote: Well, she did not like it one bit. Grunted the entire way to the vet. She would even grunt louder when I turned the radio up to drown her out. Anyway, so the vet said she shows no teeth issues that he can see. No spurs, etc. He said it's a bacterial infection. I have to wipe...
