One last thing to add, my second rabbit lives separately from this one as they don't get along right now and haven't been desexed, anyhow, while he lives separately they play in the same area of the house. The sick one isn't really properly littler trained yet, so he has pooped on the floor...

Wow, I cannot thank you enough for the information and advice. You have so far given me more valuable information than the vet, and I'm now quite concerned about her lack of knowledge.. He will be taken back to the vet asap. I didn't disinfect things as I wasn't made aware of how it should be...

The vet took a sample of his poop and she confirmed it was coccidiosis. He was on tribrissen(?) if that's the spelling, for 7 days, half a tablet day and night. I might add that she didn't seem to have much rabbit specific knowledge and she never mentioned anything about disinfecting etc. I've...

I'll also add that you can't feel his spine and he's not particularly bony. In fact, he's has quite the little pod belly and eats enough, on a balanced diet of hay with a tiny bit of veggies. For his size he feels healthy, he's just so little, almost still able to sit in the palm of my hand...

I posted here previously about my ill bunny, buddy, who seems to have recovered... I just realised that he hasn't really grown? He's a mini lop, (or so I was told) and when we got him he only weighed 280 grams. After a vet visit they informed us that he was not 8 weeks old as the seller told...

Ps. He still had a messy bum. Should I be concerned that the antibiotics haven't cleared it up? Aside from that he appears healthy, but I have had to clean him a few times.

He seems to be fine now. But no, the vet didn't mention this at all. Once he started medication everything was thoroughly cleaned before he went back to his little home, and my other bunny lives separately from him as they don't like each other at all. How far do you have to go with...

Yes! That's the one. I'm keeping a close eye on him and so far he is eating and drinking well, and he seems to be very happy!

Thanks for you help everyone. Your advice prompted me to take him to the vet. The poor little guys has a parasite (the name I coudl my pronounce not remember) it starts with the letter C anyhow... They said it's a good thing I took him when I did or it might have gotten too bad! He's on...

His litter box and cage are cleaned frequently and his appetite is fine, is it still worth taking him to the vet or should I just keep a close eye on his behaviour and his pee for now and see how he goes. And thank you for the information, I won't change his diet right away but I will adjust it...

Thank you so much for your input 'blue eyes', I will adjust his diet. I wasn't aware that at this age the diet should be a little different.

Thanks for your responses, I appreciate any advice. Here's a few more. He was bought home by my sister (17) while I was at work, which I feel was a little irresponsible. She picked him because of how tiny and cute he was, he's a supposedly a mini lop btw, but nothing seems quite right and I...

He was a pet shop bunny (not the best decision) so they may have given me incorrect information I guess? His diet is predominantly hay, a little greens and muesli, but only a touch. I suspect someone in the household may have been over feeding him pellets and so I've made sure that I am the...

We recently got a new bunny, he's a mini lop names buddy, and he's 9 weeks old. He's tiny! He weighs 280g. (Is this normal?) I noticed his urine today, it was milky (greeny/yellow) but very very milky. And it smells a little fishy. And he doesn't seem to be cleaning himself properly. He has...
