Is this something I need to worry about? She was spayed last Monday and she’s having her sutures removed this upcoming Tuesday.

Life has been crazy and I haven’t been on here in ages, but I have a question. Opal was spayed on Monday. I was instructed to give Opal one syringe (1.5 mg/ml) of Metacam orally at 3:00pm every day for five days starting yesterday (because they gave her some on Monday while she was there). The...

I’m planning to schedule to get Opal spayed soon, but before I schedule I wanted to make sure that I’m fully prepared. - Should I get one of jacket things in case she starts messing with her stitches (is the chance high enough to warrant it)? - Are the any parts of the care that are different...

I recently noticed this on one of my intact bucks. It doesn’t seem painful and I don’t believe it’s getting any bigger. Is it something I should be concerned about? Should I bring him to the vet? You can’t see it very well but it’s mostly pink with a little bit of yellow (kind of looks like a...

I’ve been putting making this thread off for about a week now. Dune passed away last Tuesday. I woke up to him gone and buried him before breakfast. We were so sure he was getting better because his eating habits were getting so close to back to normal (This thread), but I guess we were wrong...

Yesterday I noticed Dune wasn’t as energetic as usual and he had some uneaten ceotropes. I brushed it off as it just being because he was hot (I mist their ears, they have tile, and they have frozen water bottles, but we don’t have an air conditioner to put in the room that the rabbits are in)...

Every once in a while I check the underside of my rabbit’s eye lids (along with checking their teeth and feeling their stomach) both to make sure nothing is wrong and so that if something becomes off I know each rabbit’s usual and can notice it right away. I was checking on Opal today, and...

I read the other threads with similar titles and none of them looked quite the same. I’m willing to bring him to the vet if necessary, but I don’t want to if it can be avoided. All my other buns are currently molting and I would assume that’s what this is if there weren’t some red spots like...

Because of the time of year all my rabbits are currently molting. I recently picked up Bullet to check his stitches (he was just neutered last month) and noticed he had some pretty heavy molting around his back legs. It’s something I’m used to handling because Dune gets mats on his back legs if...

I just got my bun Eeyore neutered today. About an hour after putting him in the area I had set up for his recovery, his pen was wet EVERYWHERE. Unbeknownst to me, his bowl had developed a leak at one of the most inconvenient times possible. I’ve swapped the bowl out to one that doesn’t leak and...

About a month ago Snowball (a rabbit from Opal’s first litter a year ago) was returned to us because his owner couldn’t care for him anymore. Last week he started losing weight so I doubled his pellet ration. His diet went from 1/4 a cup of pellets in total a day along with 2 cups of veggies...

Some family members got me rabbit toys for Christmas, but there are a couple of them that I want to double check are actually rabbit safe. 1. 2. 3. 4. Thanks in advance!

Today is Dune’s second birthday. Time flies when you love your bun! I still can’t believe that he’s 2! I remember when I got him when he was 8 weeks old! 8 weeks old When two bucklings I had (Snowball and White Fang) managed to get into Dune’s pen (they were quickly removed), but he just sat...

Is this normal? You can’t even see the testicles through the fur on my other male rabbits (who aren’t neutered). I don’t know a whole lot about his past year because he was just returned to us from the people we sold him to after being gone for nearly a year. I do have some info on him that...

I have finally saved up enough to get one of my rabbits neutered (I plan to do Bullet first), but I’m having trouble finding a good vet. There was one that you can’t go in with your animals for the pre-neuter exam which I want to be there for to make sure they actually know how to handle a...

A couple days ago my doe Opal suddenly panicked while eating her veggies. It was out of nowhere and I thought I’d done something to scare her. I went in her pen sat down pet her a bit and hand fed her some of her veggies. She didn’t seem nervous or anything aside from she was nervous about going...

Why does this nail look like this? Could it have broken and healed on it’s own? Should I be worried?

My Holland Lop doe Opal had a litter of 7 kits (who are now 7 weeks old), and today I noticed she had a large bald spot on her stomach. What is it? Should I be worried? Could it just be molting? She doesn’t have a bunch of loose fur over anywhere else on her body and her stomach fur doesn’t come...

I came into Bullet’s pen to find this on the floor. At first I thought it was blood, but I know rabbits can have really reddish pee so I wiped some up with some moist toilet paper. It doesn’t really look like blood on the toilet paper, and I looked over Bullet and couldn’t find blood or an...

Every month on the 14th I clip my bunnies nails, but last month Opal was pretty far in her pregnancy when I went to do it so I just skipped her since I didn’t want to hurt her kits. When I went to do her nails this month the quick was unusually far back. I don’t know how I should clip them with...
