It's been awhile since I've last posted on here... Last night I discovered a rather large mass, about the size of a marble, under Wrangler's right cheek. It must have shown up within the last couple of days because I did not notice it before. He is scheduled to see the vet tomorrow. They are...

How much should I give to a rabbit that weighs approx 1.23 kg? Also, stupid question but I am tired, 0.5 ml x 2 is 1 cc? I was going to take my rabbit in to the vet today but the exotic vets that usually see him were unavailable and the office referred me to the university which will cost a...

I would say it's been a little over a year since Wrangler had his last episode. Most episodes required a trip to the vet but I am hoping that I'll be able to help him work through this one. I woke up early this AM and usually Wrangler is RIGHT at my feet. Or he's my alarm clock because he'll...

Can critical care mixed with water be heated in a microwave? This may be a dumb question. My poor bun is not feeling too hot this morning😔

Wrangler is in full throttle molting. Hair. Is. Everywhere. I can't believe how much fur my less 1.23 kg bun is producing! He feels so much skinnier to me too. What a mangy looking rabbit! It's looks like he has a nice brown coat coming through though.

So Wrangler has always had somewhat dry ears for the most part. The vets were never concerned. But since my bun has started seriously molting this season the dry flakes have become more prominent. Please tell me these flakes are not mites (they do not appear to be moving). His inner ears look...

Today my dog caught a wild rabbit kit (shame on him he loves my house bun) and I thought at first he might have killed it. It screamed and flipped over on its back when I yelled at my dog to drop it. It's nose started to bleed and I thought for sure he/she was going to die as it looked up at me...

So I went and bought a compressed bale of timothy hay from The Tractor Supply. It smells good but once I started to separate the flakes I noticed that the hay was very dusty. I am familiar with compressed bales typically being dusty. Should I take it back and get a regular bale? Or is it okay...

I was at Tractor Supply the other day and saw that they had wrapped timothy square bales for $19.99. That would be heck of a lot cheaper than having to buy hay from the pet store. I can spend approx. $40.00 a month on hay for my 2.7 lb dwarf rabbit. I do like to give him fresh hay 3-4 times a...

How do you read a 1 cc syringe when the dosage is 0.49? That should be just under 1 cc correct? I need a brain refresher.

Today when I picked up Wrangler I happened to notice a small white/yellowish nodule between his left hind toes. The mass is kind of squishy like it might be a fluid filled sac? I am a little frustrated because he was JUST at the vet on Wednesday. The doctor was SO impressed at how healthy he is...

I was informed by my veterinarian that Wrangler needs to have one of his molars filed down. I am hesitant to just schedule an appointment because my rabbit is a senior (approx 9-yrs-old and a dwarf breed). So I am going to be seeking a second opinion. Have any of you ever had a rabbit put...

I was at Rural King today and almost bought this for my bun: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=28927 Besides the fact that it's absolutely adorable I thought the hay silo was a brilliant idea. Does anyone own this? Heard any reviews?

This may be a silly question but I'd rather be safe than sorry. I would never put a flea collar on my rabbit, however, I am looking to purchase a Seresto collar for my dog who appears to be highly allergic to fleas. The sentinel is just not cutting it by itself. So this leaves me with the...

I have an approx. 8-9 year old neutered dwarf rabbit which for the past year acts like he is starving. He has figured out that food comes out of the fridge and he'll actually follow me to the kitchen and he'll hangout there whenever I let him have free roam of the apt. Always waiting for food...

Wrangler is ALWAYS hungry it seems. As he has gotten older he has become quite the food junkie. He'll come running after me as I head to the kitchen. He has figured out that I keep the "goods" in the fridge. You'd think he was starving by the way he acts even though he gets plenty of timothy...

My veterinarian recommended for Wrangler to have a tooth filed down (molar I believe) sometime this fall. I winced at the thought of my rabbit going under GA...especially for just one tooth. And he is not showing any signs of pain or discomfort. He has no difficulty eating his food. He has had...

It's been awhile since I've been on here... But I still have Wrangler - he is approx 7-yrs-old now. And within the last couple of years he has had bouts of GI stasis episodes. They all resolved with medication and Oxbow critical care. He had an episode about a month ago...and now he's having an...

I hope it isn't mites. I don't know how he would have gotten mites (he's never outside) and he's been at my grandmother's house for about a month - and her place is as clean as a whistle. Today I noticed that his ears were speckled with white flakes and when I scratch his ears with my nails...

Yesterday I had my studio apartment treated for mold, so clearly my animals and I cleared out for close to 24 hrs. Within those 24 hours I had kept Wrangler at the hay store where my boyfriend works, then he was kept overnight at my boyfriend's house until this morning. I called the mold...
