Ok so the first one! I rescued a bunny from someone who didn't know how to take care of a bunny or had time for him. They said he was molting, but when I got there he had really bad dandruff too! I have looked into it and found out that it could be walking dandruff, a fur mite. But Im really stumped. He has some fur missing and gets frightened easily. The previous owners had a dog that would play with him all the time, he would also hop around the house a bit. IF he has fur mites, wouldn't the dog have them and there be an infestation in the house? The owners HEAVILY smoked, so I guess I am wondering if maybe he was stressed, maybe the smoke didn't help much?
I just picked him up yesterday so he is still getting used to me, about the only thing he allowed me to do was spray him down with a rabbit flea spray. Im hoping today he will allow me to take a closer look and give him a bath but I doubt it. Thoughts?
Ok and my other bunny that is not a rescue, she's my baby! For the past few months she has been really sick, we found out she came down with E.C. We tried a few things to get her to feeling better and finally found something when she was on her death bed. Really, I am so surprised she is still here. She is all better and full of life but she still cant hop straight and falls over a lot. I'm assuming this is permanent now? Anything I can do to help her?
Sorry, really long post! Ps. I have been to the vet and that is why for now on I take things into my hands. The vets here apparently don't know how to deal with a rabbit. They looked at me like I was crazy and said "sorry cant help you, we don't deal with exotic animals". Exotic? omg. lol
