How is he doing Angela?? ((Hugs))

I have only a moment here but (if someone didn't suggest it previously) stop feeding all veggies and pellets and give her a good quality timothy or grass hay . Do not feed fruit or sugary veggies like carrots. Do not give her sugar or honey; it will compound the problem one hundred fold. Until...

I meant keep HIM right side up

So sorry about Milo; I hope that he has returned by now :-( Just wanted to tell you that it is not a good idea to give any meds or fluids by mouth while you have a rabbit turned over on his back. It is really easy for an animal to aspirate the fluids and get pneumonia. I know that your bun...

There is no need to stop a small amount of parsley unless it is in any way preventing her from eating more hay. Hay is the most important part of her diet right now.

A home made sterile saline solution is risky to put in eyes ..would recommend picking up a bottle of sterile saline drops at drugstore. http://www.emedicinehealth.com/normal_saline_eye_wash_solution-health/article_em.htm One bunny burrito from you tube; it is not as easy as it looks ;-( but...

I am so glad that you found a vet!. If there should be discharge from his eye and/or his eyes get sticky you can use sterile saline drops to wash them out ( like the kind that are sold in the contact lens section of the pharmacy. Just plain saline drops without additives.) There is a type of...

Weepy eye is conjunctivitis /pink eye and at this point I would not try natural remedies without a correct diagnosis. I think that he needs a vet visit with a rabbit knowledgeable vet. Eye problems often are symptoms of other issues like a blocked tear ducts and/or teeth issues. If it is...

We were writing at the same time so I just read your last post. is his poop still loose?

I am really not familiar with that shampoo but it sounds like it would be fine. I would dilute it down as much as you can using just enough to get the poop off. You are right that it is hard to get it off when it is stuck to the fur. The problem really would be if he grooms himself and ingests...

I would not worry about the titers being high as long as he is showing so much improvement with treatment. When was the blood sample sent out and how long ago was that? I do believe that probably the vet will be taking another titer at some time to compare one with the other. Sorry I didn't...

Glad that he is doing good :nod

I would keep an eye on him but wouldn't necessarily be too upset. Rabbits that are in molts can have temporary bald spots and patches that are just part of the process. I would keep an eye on the scratch and applying Neosporin was fine. I have several rabbits right now who are seriously...

Although GI disturbances are not uncommon in young rabbits I would guess that this runny poop is a GI disturbance from the heat. Here is RO's library info on over heating and how to keep a rabbit cool. http://www.rabbitsonline.net/f22/heat-stress-23105/ You stated that he doesn't eat hay...

I am so glad that Ned is doing better. The meclizine may really help a lot :):wiggle

She is absolutely gorgeous; I am so happy that she is doing so well in her new home with her "cool" new name lol

If he is eating on his own that is really good but best to get to a good vet quick. If the vet recommends bicillin injections that is something that you can learn to do yourself.

Many rabbits carry pasturella type infections in their bodies but the infections remain latent or inactive if the immune system of the rabbit is strong. When a rabbit becomes stressed, ill or elderly the infection presents itself with active symptoms. I feel that for many rabbits these type of...

Actually from what you have described she does sound better ! I am glad that you decided to seek a 2nd opinion ; Keep us updated!!!
