An Oxbow rep called me today. They are having trouble sourcing some of the ingredients. Rep said they were not up to the same standards as before. She did say that they expect the issue to be resolved relatively soon.

So are female rabbits far more susceptible to cancer if not spayed? We had Lola done shortly after rescuing her - they think she was about 6 months old when rescued. Our vet never mentioned this. I know for female cats there appears to be a pattern where cancer is more prevalent if the cat is...

Yes. With Lola what usually happens is her poops start to look different. Smaller, gloppy, etc. The moment I see that I give her Critical Care and she gobbles it down and the problem goes away. The few times I did not catch it right away are the times she stopped eating and then we went to the...

Was looking to pick up another package of Critical Care - Apple and Banana but found out no one has it. No one. Looked on the Oxbow site and they say they are still making it. Going to call them tomorrow. I know they make a similar product with Anise flavor but I read it is not as palatable. And...

We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own, live within a fragile circle; easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we would still live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the...

Been noticing the past week or so that our 11 /12 yo Dwarf rabbit Lola is sleeping much more. Deep sleep. Other than that she is 100% normal. Was at the vet about 2 months ago for senior checkup and everything looked good - including blood work. Only thing I can think of is her sleeping patterns...

Everybody, thank you for the condolences with Norm. We miss him greatly. We did end of fostering the 10 year old bun in this thread. Is a non-neutered male rabbit harder to bond with a female rabbit? Lola seems very interested as does Oreo. The only thing that separates them is a wire mesh...

We had to set one of our rabbits Norm free Rabbit suddenly not eating (RIP) and because Lola was so attached to him we are thinking of adopting another male bun. We do not see signs of grieving yet but it has only been 5 days. Oreo is a 10 year old senior who is not neutered. Lola is...

We had to put Norm to sleep today. He was on an IV and in an Oxygen cage when we got there. He was not getting better. The vet said that his breathing was actually getting worse and that his kidneys were likely shutting down. We made the tough decision to have him euthanized there. I wanted to...

We ended up taking him to an emergency vet this morning. They did another blood test and said he now has kidney disease. Not kidney failure yet. But he is anemic. They are have him on an IV for the next 24 hours. Vet looked at his teeth and mouth and said they look ok. Vet did not really offer...

We gave them their evening meal - pellets and Oxbow Joint Support and Digestive Support and he ate the biscuits on his own. Norm has a history of dental issues. Last time I took him the vet did find one back molar that had a hook on it. It was digging into his cheek. She took care of it. Yes...

Our rabbit Norm has suddenly stopped eating. He is a standard size rabbit and is approximately 9 years old. He ate this morning like he usually does. He has been to the vet three times now in the past month for inappetence. They dispensed an antibiotic the first time. 2nd time he was still on...

One of our rabbits, Norm, has a chronic back tooth issue. Before we adopted him they said he will need his back teeth cut every 6 months or so. He is 9 years old and does fine with the procedure. It is fairly quick, usually about 15 mins. Cost is around $250. One of the symptoms he showed is...

I can try giving her Meloxicam for a few weeks nd see if it improves. Vet told us to hold off giving it to her until you know it is needed. She honestly seems 100% normal other than the urinating. But it is worth a try.

Noticed our 11 year old dwarf rabbit Lola has had incontinence for the past 6 months or so. Took her to the vet a few weeks after we noticed it happening. They did tests for bladder stones, bladder infection, and kidney stones. All came back negative. Her urine is usually clear although once in...

Galvanized is fine. Our original rabbit hutch came with a galvanized floor for the upper level which rusted out after 10 years. I replaced it a new one.

Can you get some Oxbow Critical Care. Critical Care Food for Herbivores | Oxbow Animal Health It has all the important things rabbits need to survive. We have had to rely on it a few times to get over gastro stasis issues.

It took us almost a year to bond our 9 year old Dwarf rabbit with a 8 year old rabbit we adopted. Now they are best buds. They have a huge open area with lots of things to do but they are almost always together. During the bonding process I built a divider with mesh screening so they could see...

Force feeding critical care and water is what we have had to do. The meds they sent you home with is what we have been given in the past. Sometimes it takes time. Pooping is a good sign. Once you get past this you might try giving her some probiotics. One of our rabbits Lola (also a dwarf) is...

Very sorry for your loss. Sounds like you took very good care of him. Take comfort in knowing you will see him again.
