Thank you for your kind wishes

It’s been a horrible few weeks. The lion heads we adopted all passed. The vet ordered autopsies and it was found that they passed from rabbit haemorrhage disease. This was brought in by Willow. We didn’t know she had it as she seemed fine and we had been told that she had been vaccinated. I...

Two of the lion heads have passed and the third is struggling I can’t tell you how traumatic this been. We have tried so hard to look after them. The vet has said there is nothing they can do. I am seriously so upset. We love our bunny friends and have decided not to have any more. This...

So more bad news. We lost one of the lionhead babies. She had a fit. We took her to the vet but by the time we got there she had gone. The vet says that because Willow and Cookie were vaccinated it’s very unlikely that it’s a communicable disease. We begged for help with the other 2 Lionhead...

Thank you We just had to do it. They seem to be happy here so hopefully we can get them up to optimum health

Thank you 😊 It’s been an awful week but we aim to make sure the little girls are well.

So, awful news. Our boy, Cookie, also passed away after 3 days under the vet’s care. We are devastated as the vet says he was severely depressed after Willow left us. We have, however, rescued the litter of 3 Lionhead does (Sage, Midnight and Jet) and are shocked at how neglected they are-...

Thank you I have seen on Facebook a litter of 3 Lionhead kits that seem to be very badly looked after (wrong food, matted fur, small enclosure) I’m so tempted just to take the babies and love them and let my boy Cookie be a surrogate dad. Would this work?

P

We are of course giving him as much love as we can but he’s very depressed 😔 we are torn between waiting for the shock to subside and getting a new friend for him. It’s been devastating today.

We lost our beautiful girl today. Very suddenly. Not sure what happened. Don’t think it was stasis as we have dealt with that before with our boy rabbit. They were bonded and we’re worried about how a bonded male will cope with the loss of his mate. Any ideas on how to get through this? Thank you

Thanks I obviously don’t want Willow to be injured post op but didn’t realise how long it would take for her to be safe. I don’t want to rush things so I’ll just take it slow.

So we let Willow and Cookie out together and they played really nicely. Still waiting for appointment from vet for Willow’s spay. ☹️ I’m no w concerned that the spay will put bonding back a few weeks due to her healing. Any advice?

Thank you Yes, willow is quite dominant and raced around chinning Cookies toys etc. We are hoping to get her spayed soon (covid allowing) so will try an introduction then.

Our rescue bunny, Cookie, (male, neutered) has now got a female companion, Willow (Not yet spayed). I’m a new bunny mummy and was quite upset at the first introduction as there was a lot of scrabbling and thumping. They are both in pens now close enough to see each other but I’m wanting advice...

Definitely take bunny to the vet. Try PDSA for help. I also recommend rabbit pet insurance. It costs around £10 per month and there’s an excess to pay but it really helps with high vet costs. Good luck

How is your bunny now? I would definitely take her back to the vet. Our rabbit, Cookie, has had stasis twice. Both times he was eating and moving about within about an hour of critical care feeds. He pooped after about 2 hours. You seem to be doing everything correctly so I’d ask the vet again...

Prunella vulgaris is the scientific name for self heal.

Could be self heal also called carpenter’s herb. Not sure how bunnies get on with it though.

Thank you
