Did she take a sample of the growth at all? That’s the only way to know for sure. Hopefully the metacam will reduce the inflammation a bit, and if it is an infection the antibiotics might help. Since he has lost weight, have you noticed him eating less? Need to make sure he keeps up with eating...

I completely agree, and that’s the dream! Unfortunately in my Student house every inch is accounted for haha, just don’t have the storage options, but I can’t wait until I do, it will save me a lot of money (and hassle!)

Ringworm should just go away on its own but can take months to be fully gone. After this they will be immune to any further ringworm outbreaks. Be careful of yourself and any other people handling if you haven’t had ringworm before. If it doesn’t go away or you want to help it along your vet...

Looks like a mengocele, though the photos aren’t very clear. Take it to a vet, or I would probably be inclined to end its suffering. If you wish you can wait and see if it can suckle etc.

If they are young they might just still be very affectionate, or they may just like the taste. My rabbit licks random things constantly: floors, walls, furniture...

Is she good with rabbits? Not all great dog and cat vets are good rabbit Vets so it would be worth checking. Any other help don’t hesitate to post again!

Depending on your ability to travel, there is a great rabbit vet, Molly Varga, about 45 minutes away from Manchester. Otherwise you can check here for a rabbit vet: https://rabbitwelfare.co.uk/rabbit-care-advice/rabbit-friendly-vets/rabbit-friendly-vet-list/

The risk under anaesthetic is very low, especially with a good rabbit vet. The procedure is a lot quicker and easier than a spat for a female rabbit, and so carries even less risk. It probably is the only real solution to improving litter training and destructive behaviours. Where in the UK do...

Destructive behaviour can often be attributed to hormones, so you might consider getting him castrated? It could also help with litter training (how is that going?) You also need to make sure he hasn’t got any access to wires etc if he is prone to chew. Not all rabbits need to have a friend...

Dog’s back, I love it!! :p

Just a note to say that teeth should NEVER be clipped, only burred, and preferably by a vet. I’m not sure if that’s how you do it, but just wanted to put that out there for anyone else reading.

That’s me, buying hay by the bag - I would definitely be buying by the bale if I had the space!

I agree with blue eyes it is best not to have the playpen separate to the cage. I would imagine this is also causing some confusion for him as he wants to pee in his cage like he normally does, and then you shut him off from it and ask him to pee in a presumably different litter tray? No wonder...

Sounds like an abscess, please get to a rabbit vet!

Sounds like you need some time to rebond with him as you aren’t home very often. If you are away a lot and he doesn’t cope being alone very well it might be worth thinking about getting him a friend? Can also try not petting him when he comes up, but offering a tasty treat instead, as sometimes...

I don’t know rabbits breeds much at all but she could be any kind of cross, and like you said she is certainly not a lop.

Definitely sounds like thumping for attention, especially if you get up and give him treats/cuddles in response! I also agree that rabbits don’t get colds, and just giving out antibiotics willy nilly is the sign of a vet that doesn’t know what they are talking about. What was the medication?

Take her to a vet.

That’s absolutely true if they are under an anaesthetic, but if that isn’t an option it isn’t any worse pain than vaccinations (which mine get as we are in UK).i wouldn’t let a couple of seconds of pain be enough to put me off .

Mine had it conscious and she didn’t even react, just so you know!
