New and a medical question!

[spoogysprouts]

Hi all! I'm new here. First let me introduce myself and me sweet boonkins Corduroy. Long story short, I lost my three beloved hedgehogs to hibernation. About a month later, when I wasn't as depressed, my boyfriend brought home my sweet baby boon!! I've had him for about two years now and it's love!

p.s.
this is his "crime fighting bun" pose..think batman, but BUNman

p.p.s.
i posted and forgot to add my question! about 9 months ago i noticed that he had been chewing under his chin and had a HUGE sore. i took him to the vet and they gave me antibiotics and a "cone" for him. it cleared up and has been fine since (i check regularly) yesterday i noticed it's back! we went away for a week, so i'm guessing that's when he did it. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Does anyone have an advice on how i can help heal and prevent it? he's back in thee cone of shame and i'm cleaning it twice a day. i tried wrapping his neck with gauze, but of course he ripped it all off :rollseyes

any advice or info would be greatly appreciated!! i'll also post this in the medical section

Hello and welcome to RO. Very cute boy.

Let me welcome you to Rabbits Online, my name is Dave and I am a moderator on the forum. So if I can be of any help please let me know. This is a terrific website for rabbits and their slaves, not only is it very active but also friendly. I am so glad you’re here and I know you will enjoy it.

You have a very cute bunny. You should get some good responses to your med question in the infirmary section.

Many bunny's recommend their slaves to this site so we may learn of others methods to keeping our furry masters happy.

If you everhave a sick bunny, please post in The Infirmary and include your rabbit's age, breed and health history as well diet and output details leading up to the problem.

I have listed some links I thought you might find interesting:

*For reference the Library section

*To brag or tell everyone about the antics of your bunny or just to talk about your day here is where to start a Bunny Blog, you can also look back at it later and remember when you had a life before your bunny.

*Now all the bunny’s like talk to each other when we mere slaves aren’t around in the Bunny Chat is the spot to be.

*Rabbits Online also has regional forums , this a good way to find a vet in your area that has experience with rabbits and to find out from other nearby of good sources of rabbit supplies.

The Let Your Hare Down section is for anything non-bunny related.

Here is a link tothat will help you and your bunny to connect, How To Bond With Your Bunny.

Now every forum has rules and ours can be found with this link Rabbits Online Forum Rules. This gives guidelines on what is acceptable, what is not and how we hope everyone will treat each other.

Everyone on this forum loves to see pictures of each other’s bunnies. So if you would like to post a picture this link will help you do that, Upload Photo's to Photo Gallery. Then in the post, you click on the "G" in the tool bar to insert your photo. Many people also use Photobucket. You just copy the img file and paste it into the post.

I am glad you have joined rabbits online and I look forward to seeing you around.

Hello and welcome to the community!

Corduroy is a very handsome bun. I hope his sore clears up soon and stays gone this time! I wonder if he's stressed because you have been leaving so much ... you mentioned you were gone and that you're leaving again soon. Do you do this often?

Thank you!! I don't leave too often, but the person who comes round to feed him is afraid to handle him, so that may be it. I'm even contemplating building a portable hutch and taking him camping with us, but I'm afraid it would be to hot, and some wild animal might get to him. I did take my kitten last year...so I guess I'm mostly afraid of him over heating :\
