checked on Bailey during lunch break. The water level in the bottle has gone down pretty well. I'm relieved about it. A new pee spot, so I am satisfied with the urinating enough to incorporate the litter box back into the cage, but I'll still be checking the litter box. The litter box...

I had her upright in the towel, kind of holding her like a baby with one arm, but more vertical. I think the fact that she's so small, she can wiggle the towel so loose much easier. I think the legs around her while she is on the floor is a way better idea. I'm going to try this at next...

i didn't have any apple juice last night, but I did have some apple sauce on hand. I put a little bit of that in the water and mixed it up and she still wouldn't touch it. Then I dumped it out and just gave her straight apple sauce, she wouldn't touch that either. But she would eat her veggies...

It wasn't really a fight. Bailey was humping Hailey's head, she bit her and Bailey ran far away from Hailey. But since I didn't see the whole thing, I'll definitely check on Hailey. I held her and brushed her last night, but she didn't really react affectionately like she used to. But this...

angieluv wrote: Thanks a ton for this info! As for her meds, she got an injection of Buprenex while at the clinic, then she got the hydrotherapy wash of the area. We were sent home with her oral meds metacam (1 time a day for 5 days) & bactrim/sulfatrimeth (2 times a day). Because she...

angieluv wrote: The pooping has picked up to be more normal in quantity and more often tonight than it was earlier in the day. As of the poop, itself, it's looked completely normal the whole time. The urine is a different story. She is peeing and the pee spots look big and normal. I...

Okay, wow, a lot of posts to respond to. First of all....this is NOT an emergency vet. This is a rabbit specialist that I went to. I originally tried to go to an emergency clinic, but they didn't have a rabbit specialist on staff. So I waited till this particular rabbit specialist office...

This happened yesterday, and i posted about it in Hailey & Bailey's thread in the Bunny Blogs. I'm going to copy and paste everything here. I'm not going to post the pics directly, but I'll post links to the photos so you can look at your own discretion (it's disturbing to see)...

aurora369 wrote: 100 stitches? wow! I can't imagine! I'm actually kind of glad she didn't get stitches. I think it might have made things more complicated. Since she's not bleeding, the swelling has gone down, and even though she's holding her urine longer than usual, the pee is coming...

ra7751 wrote: Thanks! Her poops seem to be coming out normal, but I don't think it's as often as it should be. It's kind of hard to tell what's normal since I've only had these girls for 1.5 weeks! lol Oh yeah - thanks for reminding me about the Bene-Bac! He did tell me to get some...

Oh wow! Thanks everyone for the advice! Here are the pics I took of her wound last night. I'm just going to post the links to look at them just incase there are some that would get grossed out: http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c23/Jayson_Gold1980/DSC_0214.jpg?t=1234920630...

I'm checking on Bailey during my lunch break. She's very calm now with pain meds. She is sleepy and huddled in her "hospital cage." She accepts ear rubs as payment, though. I see normal looking poops. But she hasn't peed yet - so its been at least 5 hours since last pee. sleepy head...

-UPDATE- Well the vet that was really close by, just happens to be there every single day of the week, but Wednesdays. My luck. The emergency clinic that was a little further away usually does see rabbits, but when I called they currently had no one on staff for rabbits at that time. Great...

Bailey's Bad Day My boyfriend had the day off today, so he put the girls in the play area (baby gated kitchen). The past 3-4 days have been the same, Bailey had been humping Hailey to show some dominance. It never got violent. Hailey would let it happen for a little bit, and then turn...

Lucky! I had a past rabbit that tore up everything in his path, especially carpets. So I have been paranoid ever since! I don't think they have had a chance to see the carpet yet. They play in the kitchen on top of sheets. lol
