Try feeding some greens to whet their appetites. it generally takes about 3 days for a bunny to start really looking normal so I would watch carefully but don't get too upset. Pain meds are important first few days
You can buy sterile saline eyewash (for humans) in contact lens section of pharmacy and just flood his eye with the saline if you are unsure if it is clear. It comes in plastic container with a dropper shape at end . If his eye is still bothering him you will know it as It may be runny , he may...
I agree with ladysown ; they may need to be permanently separated and if placed together should be supervised very closely as it is highly likely that it will happen again .
Hi Christina,
Yeah, you have been with the forum as long as I have :) Great that you are almost through school. Do you remember Jim D. ..is he still on the forum ??
Where are you trying to get the prescription filled? an online vet pharmacy or at an office in Greece. I would think that you could get this drug from an on-line pharmacy ..generic name for it is enrofloxicin
Huffl,
Why don"t you start a thread of your own on your bunny? You may get more assistance that way. It is very important to get his feet off the metal bottom and onto something soft and dry . Might want to read in the RO library on suggestions.
Bolinha, I am so very sorry that you lost your bunny. I also tend not to trust hospital care of rabbits , maybe for an emergency day or 2 but not extended periods of time. You did everything in your power to save him so you must remember that; he may not have made it anyway. It sounds like the...
Hi Azerane,
My African grey is about 15 yrs old; we got him when he was about 1 yr old and he is a big big talker. He mimics both my husband"s and my voice and also does any number of mechanical sounds. He is a wonderful companion.
My rabbits had their pictures posted here long ago as 2 of...
Would love you to merge my names if you can !!! My current critters are doing fine. I have 3 bunnies, 2 elderly and 4 guinea pigs and my African grey parrot, Neil !! Thank you! ,,, and my new kitty , Bella Louise !
Hi
Who remembers me from years ago. ?? I used to be an Infirmary Mod maybe 2008 to 2010 although I joined the forum in 2005 Since I have been off the forum so much has happened in my life. My husband had bladder cancer in 2010 and has been in remission for many years now. Both my parents...
My first rabbit was free roam in an apartment..it just seemed to me that once that she got used to the space that she also didn't move around that much . I agree that toys are a good idea but maybe bunnies just get lazy like people.
I have a rabbit now that I used to let outside ( supervised)...
Not eating hay may hay been the result of having molars spurs in the first place rather than the other way around. Possibly your bun has other dental issues that are causing issues . I would focus on eliminating any possibility of dental issues. A head x-ray will usually show tooth root issues...
There are so many possibilities and many of them have been mentioned . Bunny needs to see a rabbit knowledgeable vet as we all can guess what it is but cannot examine the bun. I had a lop who had a runny eye with milky discharge. It was a blocked infected tear duct which needed to be flushed in...
This is very common , need not worry about it. It has happened with my bunnies many times. Just clean the area with very dilute betadine or very dilute hydrogen peroxide and leave it alone.
Abscesses are difficult to eradicate and usually need not one but several potent antibiotics for a lengthy period of time. Rabbit pus is often very thick and doesn't drain easily. Injectable bicillin and oral drugs like Zithromax (or even oral Baytril, Zeniquen ) need to be given together to...
Hi,
Just want to make sure that I am correct with this info as I am assisting a friend whose rabbit most likely has EC. We have Safeguard liquid for goats (fenbendazole 10% 100mg /ml) and I want to be sure about the standard dosage . Am I correct that it is 20 mg /kg for approx. 28 days?
Thanks :-)
Also looks similar to lesions caused by rabbit syphilis (vent disease) which is treated with injectable penicillin and not transmissible to humans.Vet can take a culture
I have "heard' ( not documented research ) that if a rabbit is spayed too early that it may affect bone growth / strength later on. I believe that the premise behind this theory is that certain hormones that would become active in a very young female in puberty would never have an opportunity to...
Oh Geez that is just so sad. I actually never heard of anything like this but you did everything that you could. I am so very sorry for your loss s; she was so cute !
