Thanks. Just got him home. holding him as I type. Saw the abscess, size of a walnut/golf ball hard as a rock with its own blood source right from the jugular. Doc said from what she could tell no fingers or tentcles, clean removal. His temp is a little low so I have him wrapped up against my...

Today was surgery day for Cole. We just heard from the vet and all is well, thank goodness. The doc did not do any extractions as when she got into the abscess area the encapsulated ball was wrapped around attached to his jugular. The doc said if we had waited much longer she believed the...

OMG I would NEVER let any of my buns get like that. That is horrid!!!!!!! Well I have seen x rays of my other rabbits teeth and then I saw Coles, and they were much much different. Coles x ray was kind of science fictiony, actually. Thanks for the dosing info I will check it out and print it...

Sas, I did not know that Randy could not give dosing info, that is where MY problem was. I found it to be a little strange that he would tell me how all the abscesses he treated did not need surgery because of how he treated them but then offer no help as to hot TO treat them, that was MY...

All the teeth are going in different directions, he does not have one straight tooth in his mouth, even his front teeth veer off to two different sides.and that is after having them filed down. The vet from the House rabbit society said she had never seen rabbit teeth that bad before, she was...

Cole was dumped outside two Decembers ago in Northern Michigan..................he was brought to my vet and my vet was asked to put him down, he was seriously mal nourished, and had many other problems but they kept him and nursed him the best they could. His teeth are all very crooked, and I...

First off my post clearly states that ALL the doc visits AND the surgery will cost a total of $3500. That means we saw SEVERAL doctors who all performed their own tests, each with their own costs. This includes a number of cytologies, cultures, x rays, meds, critical care, gas to drive to docs...

I forgot to mention that the docs agree from the exams and the x rays that this is NOT a tooth root abscess but a separate abscess all together on it's own.

So my girlfriend and I have done a TON of reading these past few weeks, and I mean a TON. We have read all the material from this forum plus quite a bit from other places, plus quite a few personal stories from people who have had buns with abscesses and if there is one conclusion we have come...

Hello all............ Well we took in another bun, a white haired white skinned bun to see if the fur could be better checked and we were negative for ring worm and we are still waiting on the tests for additional fungal infection but we did find mites. We had done our research ahead of time and...

Hello: The vet gave me "Sebolux" medicated shampoo for scales and crusts associated with seborrhea and other non specific dermatoses. I feel confident that its not an issue of the bunnies getting into little tiffs, because I have two shifts running. I have 3 bunnies that come out for 12 hours...

I will have to ask them if they checked for that. Thanks so much for the idea.

I have 5 bunnies. Three of which have developed areas where the fur is pulling out with large amounts of thick, clumpy dandruff. The skin underneath is irritated and looks like a superficial sore that wasn't caused by injury or trauma to the area. The fur will just keep rubbing off. We went to...

I have a question: In the article you posted Dr. Brown states that an abscess has the consistency of toothpaste...................which is NOT the same as cottage cheese. Toothpaste is thick and smooth, where cottage cheese is lumpy and not smooth...........more confusion.

Hi Angie, This vet is not our usual vet. Our usual vet is not someone we believed to be a bunny expert, but the vet we saw today came very highly recommended from Oakland Vet Referral Services which is one of the top vets in my state. They techs there take their rabbits to ARK vet, which is...

Hi everyone. Well got Coley to the vet today and here is where we are: Since Sunday his nose has started to have a discharge which the vet says is not good. The doc said she could clearly feel his jaw line under the lump so she was pretty sure it was NOT an abscess due to bad tooth root. She...

So much to take in! I thought i was doing such a good job at educating myself about my rabbits and how to best care for them and i feel like i still have come up waaaaaay short! yikes! Ok, let me try to summarize this... I currently feed them Oxbow Bunny Basics T (timothy pellets). It has...

Everyone has been so supportive and helpful...thanks so much. Randy, you are amazing!I am going to print out the info you sent me and take it with me to the vet tomorrow. I thank you so much because I know my best chance to have a positive outcome is to be armed with as much diverse info as is...

I know you are not supposed to have favorites but he is mine, he is just so adorable. I am pretty sure he was meant to be a bigger bunny but was stunted, and he is just so runt like and so precious, my life would be less without him, I just really want him to be okay.

Thanks Angie. The Vet that takes care of my dog and her chemo is OVRS, one of the best vets in Michigan, they are one of the few that have a blood bank for animals, but they do not do rabbits usually, but I called them and talk to a great person who has 5 buns herself and she recommended a...
