Lately Sonicka has been having some intermittent runny cecals and some occasional urine staining on her rear end. She doesn't get badly soaked or urine burned, but slightly wet and has stained fur. Her ears have also been looking droopier again (months ago she was treated with antibiotics for...

My husband and I just moved into a new home (previously we were living with my parents), so now Sonicka is an indoor rabbit again! She was living in the garage at my parents house due to family allergies. Here she is in her NIC condo in our extra bedroom. More pics to come after we get more...

My hubby and I just moved into our new home and in the mail yesterday I received a coupon, informational sheet and a business card from a vet hospital nearby. It says they see exotics, so I'm cautiously hopeful that they might be knowledgeable with rabbits. The past year I've had trouble...

Do you need a specific solution to use as Sub-Q fluids or can you give plain water? I have some unused syringes left over from an antibiotic Slippers took several months ago. She ate her dinner last night around 10 pm. When I got up today she wouldn't eat anything, her skin looked abnormally...

I can't say for certain that Slippers' eye problem is cured, but so far it is looking good. She had her tear duct flushed and was put on a course of Zithromax, which she has been finished with for almost 1 week. Her eye looks really good, the fur around her eye has been completely dry many of...

This is Maple, my parents' golden retriever puppy. (my husband and I currently live with my parents, so I see a lot of her and have gotten so attached!) Here she is at 8 weeks when she first arrived. A little older: Now she is 4 and a half months: I have never had a dog before and now I...

I got married September 5, and we finally got the CD with our photos :) Here are a few.

So this morning I noticed one of Sonicka's ears was drooping downwards. When I got home from work it looked normal but then a little bit ago it was drooping again. I have never seen this before. She does not have ear mites; I can't see anything abnormal in the inside of her ears. Should I be...

Today my husband and I went to San Diego to see the bunnies at the ARBA national convention. The shows do not start until tomorrow, but the bunnies were mostly checked in already. There were rows and rows of bunnies of all breeds! I've been planning on getting an English Lop and a French...

I made an appointment for Saturday with a different vet office I found on the list of bunny vets. It is only 7 minutes away from me according to yahoo maps! They said they see bunnies on a daily basis, and they are called an "animal and bird clinic" so that hopefully indicates wider experience...

I'm planning on going to the National Convention in San Diego to look at all the rabbits, and possibly buy one. The only weekend day of the show is Sunday, the first day. I have found no schedule info on the website for the show. Does anyone know if Sunday will be a good day to look, or if...

Do anyone else's bonded rabbits do this? The two of them grab pieces of lettuce or other veggies out of each other's mouths when there is a huge pile of veggies right in front of them! They grab back and forth until there is barely a scrap left of the particular piece. They ought to learn some...

I had Slippers in to the vet this morning for a follow-up appointment and her eye is doing much better--- barely any discharge anymore and the white spots are diminishing. She's been treated with 1 eye drop per day of Neo-Poly-Dex (antibiotic/steroid drops), and 4 drops per day of Cefazolin and...

Yesterday I ran out of eye drops... on day 7. I just called the vet office and our normal vet is not in until Monday ... so that gave me an opportunity to make an appointment for Slippers tomorrow with the other "rabbit vet" there for a second opinion without offending, since she needs a recheck...

Slippers has a runny eye. I gave her more than 14 days of Baytril and it has not gone away, so I am taking her to the vet tomorrow. I believe the dosage on the bottle was rather low, so perhaps she needs a higher dosage, or maybe she has a blocked tear duct. In any case, I hope this clears up...

My parents are bringing home their new puppy this Friday. It will be a 7 week old female Golden Retriever. It is not essential that the dog and bunnies need to get along, because my bunnies are living in a large pen in the garage, and I am hoping to move out of my parents house with my rabbits...

I introduced myself on here a few years ago, but didn't stick with it. Now I'm back and participating so I thought I'd re-introduce my bunnies. Slippers and Sonicka are spayed females I adopted from the animal shelter several years ago when Pepper's mate passed away. Unfortunately, Pepper...

I just read on the Convention website that breeders are not allowed to bring rabbits onto the fairgrounds that are strictly for sale and not entered in the show. This concerns me because I was hoping to buy 1 or 2 rabbits there (as pets). I would be happy with either pet quality or show quality...
