Hi all. I have two dental bunnies who are having a hard time maintaining their weight, so I've been giving them a tiny bit of calf manna each evening (both are totally addicted!). Problem is, the calf manna supply that I was given is running low, and I've not been able to find it locally. Does...

Hi all. I have an 8yo Jersey Wooly who has two lower molars (one on each side) with overgrown tooth roots (they are starting to grow into the jaw). She is currently on pain meds (buprenorphine and metacam) and antibiotics (Chloremphenicol) + syringe food, sub-q’s, cisapride, etc. Has anyone...

Hi all. I have an 7-8 yo jersey wooley rabbit with the teariest eyes I think I’ve ever seen on a rabbit. About 3-4 weeks ago, her left eye was tearing, so we went to the vet. The vet flushed her tear duct (it was plugged), removed a smallish spur from one of her molars and prescribed some...

Hi all. I haven't posted in a while - I hope I am posting this question correctly and that someone can help. Does anyone know where Dr Robin Lane is now? I was using his services through one of the local clinics (Amherst), but when I called this morn to book Chia in for a recheck, I was...

Has anyone ever used Tricide Neo to nebulize a chronic URI rabbit? I have a 11-12 yo chronic URI rabbit, Jinx (neutered male, lop-eared), who has been on/off antibiotics for almost a year. Baytril seems to do the best job of controlling the infection, but the infection usually returns within 2-4...

I have a 5yo spayed jersey wooly rabbit who will only eat her greens if they are cut into small pieces. She is eating pellets and hay, but we have yet to be able to restore her veggie consumption to normal. Her problems started about a month ago. She has been to the vet numerous times - Long...

Last night when I got home from work, I noticed that Fuzz was scanning (head tracks to the left). The scanning is not constant, but occurs in somewhat short bursts. He also seems a bit disoriented. He's not rolling, but I've noticed that when he hops around, he acts like he is not quite sure...

Hello fellow bunny lovers. Here’s a bit of bizarre bunny behaviour that I'm hoping someone can help me to understand. I have a 13 yo neutered male with molar issues. I take him to the vet every 2-4 weeks for a molar rasp (done without anaesthetic). I’ve noticed that there seems to be a...

On Sunday PM, I picked Fuzz (neutered male seniour bun) up and noticed that he had a bump, about the size of a large grape, protruding from his lower abdomen, just slightly north and west of his goodies. On Monday AM, the bump was gone...or at least not visible. This morning, the bump was there...

I hope I am posting this in the right place! In November, I adopted a beautiful siamese sable 2.5-3 yo Jersey Wooly. At first her coat was quite easy to maintain - I simply brushed her 1-2 times a week to remove the tangles and minor webbing. Her coat has since become quite thick and very...

Fuzz had a molar rasp on June 1. He ate well for a few days, then appetite waned again, so I took him back on June 8. The molars on one side were overgrown again (how fast do rabbit teeth grow anyway?!), so they filed them down. It's been two days; his appetite is even worse and his one eye is...

I hope that this question is appropriate and that I am posting it in the right place. I have a vet ettiquette question that I've always wondered about. There are two vet clinics that I regularly use. There are pros and cons to both clinics; I book my appointments based on vet...

Hi all. Does anyone know the glucosamine dosage for a 1.95kg rabbit or know where I can find this information? I would like to put Fuzz on glucosamine (with my vet's blessing, of course), but we do not know the dosage. Fuzz is a 12yo neutered male. He has glaucoma and chronic molar issues, for...

A bit of background on the rabbit - 11yo spayed girl, sensitive digestive tract (frequently has soft stool or excess cecals requiring butt-bathes, especially if given too many greens or alfalfa hay) and kidney issues (diagnosed with kidney disease, but she doesn't really fit the profile of a...

Hi all. I have two questions - one about glaucoma and a semi-related question about teeth. My 12yo rabbit, Fuzz (neutered male/angora mix), has been diagnosed with glaucoma. At one time, the pressure in his eye was about 45. We have been able to get it down to the mid 30's, but no further. He...

My new girl, Chia, has been spayed now for just over three weeks, and I'd like to start to bond her to Jinx. Right now, they share a common living area that has been sectioned off. After they are bonded, I will remove the barriers and they will live as free range rabbits in this area. To help...

Ok, this has to be the weirdest question I've ever asked on a forum (or maybe even ever), but inquiring minds want to know. Can altered rabbits still ejaculate? I asked because I've noticed that Fuzz (12 yo, altered 9 years ago) sometimes has a small amount of wetness around his boy-bits. The...

For those of you who were following my Infirmary thread re: Moccasin, just wanted to let you know that I adopted a friend for Jinx today. We had a choice of two - Jinx did a short date with the one that appealed to me more. They largely ignored each other while they hopped around my kitchen...

Hi all. I have an elder rabbit who started to exhibit inner ear infection or neurological symptoms late last night (circling to the left, slight head tilt to the left, horizontal nystygmas, loss of balance and possibly a seizure). We put her in a carrier lined with blankets and a pillow to keep...

Hi all. I am looking for information on non-surgical options for treating glaucoma in rabbits and ideas for helping a rabbit with vision loss adjust. I have an elderly rabbit (11 - 13?) who has developed a cataract, swollen conjunctiva(?) and a very teary eye. The vet checked her for...
