If the upper and lower jaw is not aligned in the rabbit's mouth then the teeth are not able to grind together in a normal manner ;this is usually a genetic issue. If the problem is only the incisors then they could be removed ( plus peg teeth behind them ) . Rabbits can pick up food without...

I live in La Crosse Wi . I live rural but have not had too much good luck with local hay . I do not want alfalfa or clover in it . Have dealt with that before. I might put this on the RO FB page as some of the older members are still on there and I think that they might have some suggestions...

feed stores here do not sell hay . I have looked :-(

Hi I have not been on here for a long time so "Hello" to all those who remember me.:) I currently have a question re. where to get really nice timothy hay in bulk . Let me tell you a little about my hay experiences in the past. I have always had multiple bunnies and currently have 4 in...

Thanks RD..I am going to look into foam pads :-)

I just want to say that I admire the quality of life and care that you are giving to your girl ! You are devoted and an excellent bunny mom ! I had a bun with cancer but it was a fast growing fibrosarcoma and he succumbed to it really quickly. I would guess that the blood smearing on floor is...

I agree with above posts. If there is a change in his breathing from normal then he should go to a rabbit knowledgeable vet. You also mentioned half open pinkish rimmed eye which also needs to be seen ..could be conjunctivitis. I had a mini-lop years ago who had a respiratory problem that began...

Well both these posts helped me a lot so "thank you" to both of you :) I had been reading about bandaging hocks and it looked difficult to do. Thomas is very difficult to handle and the thought of needing to bandage anything on him would seem close to impossible. Aki, when you used the cortisone...

Hi, I have 2 mini-rex 9 month old bonded brothers . Although I have had many rabbits over the years I have never owned this breed. I noticed yesterday that one of the boys is losing fur and just beginning to get a tiny callus on his heel and I am quite concerned where this could go. I know that...

http://en.allexperts.com/q/Rabbits-703/2008/12/Marquis-Ponazuril-dosage.htm Ponazuril was originally made for the the treatment of an encephalitis like illness in horses, but has also been used as a tx for EC in rabbits. I have never used it with my bunnies, however, I would ask your vet to...

I personally would not feed buns green until at least 8 weeks minimum which is the appropriate time for them to leave mom. At 5-6 weeks the GI tracts are still struggling to create all that 'good bacteria' . A bun at 5-6 weeks still has an unstable gut and I just would not chance it unless the...

Thank you Jen for your always awesome and use info. I had not seen the Medi- Rabbit article on self mutilation. We are slowly working on a plan for Rue including pain meds (which I should have thought of ) :wiggle Will up date this as things occur.

Hi This post is for a friend of mine who has had a rabbit that she adopted several years ago. Rue had a sore on her side which was discovered after she was adopted ; she was chewing an area on her side . After some skin scrapings it was determined to be ringworm and Rue was treated with an oral...

Are you in Cicero Ill?? If so there is an emergency exotic clinic in Skokie which is excellent. My friend in Berwyn takes her bunnies there I might want to get a 2nd opinion. usually when a bun has a low temp the vet will try to warm her up...not just leave it. :-(

I have ordered critical care off amazon in apple banana I also do the critical care thing a bit different. I water down the critical care and blend it in a blender and then let it sit awhile. I have had had such terrible results getting them to swallow the properly mixed CC that I have close...

Ok so I am going to ask some questions. How does the rabbit look right now. What was the last thing that the rabbit ate and when?. Does the rabbit have hay to eat? When was the last time the rabbit pooped and did it look like a normal rabbit poop. is the rabbit drinking water Does the rabbit...

Sounds like you have a few things going on. First she had not been eating well for 3 days prior to her dental so in addition to the mouth discomfort from her teeth ( if that was actually the original problem ) you now have a bun who is probably uncomfortable from the dental work done . I...

You probably could treat for mites and see if it clears up , but if it was me I would go to a vet and get a skin scraping. We recently have had issues with our very elderly dog getting ringworm ( vet thinks it is lowered immune system from age) . Ringworm attacks the shafts of the hair and...

My 6 yr old chinchilla rabbit, Brett , was shaking his head back and forth this AM so I immediately got him into his vet suspecting an ear infection The tech swabbed some **** from his right ear and it turns out he has a fungal infection in his ear called candida. The vet says this is sometimes...
