She has to be spayed, and even if she is its no guarantee the bond will work. The other rabbit should be spayed neutered and preferably a male. I suggest going onto youtube and watching some of the bonding your rabbit videos to pick up techniques. People do things like intruduce them in the care...

I'm not sure what happened to her, but sorry for your loss. Things do happen sometimes and yes they are very fragile.

Happy to see you're baby doing well Rachelle :). Very cute. And yes to what Jbun said - if you post a medical post it should go in Health and Wellness where Jbun is most of the time— so Jbun will see it because she's the best.

Also I am wondering if the doe was left with the buck after breeding? Because I just read some one else's post— And she had a litter with big babies and small babies that looked like the one here that died too. She believed it was because she left the buck with the doe for week after...

Metronidazole isn't used for worms— it says bacteria and protozoal infections. Here is a link to Medirabbit on worms. http://www.medirabbit.com/EN/GI_diseases/Parasitic_diseases/Nem_gen/Nematodes.htm Here are some symptoms of worms... The presence of thick brown threads of mucus in the...

I don't think liquid cecotropes are the main symptom of worms. Rabbits don't often get the bad kinds of worms like tape worms. They get pin worms but they are small and you see them in the poos. I think liquid cecos are more a symptom of bacteria imbalance in the gut. Do you have probiotics?-...

Is it safe to take all those Antibiotics together???? I don't know ... maybe someone else on here has done it before and will chime in. —————————— If your vet definitely thinks your rabbit has a urinary tract infection I would give him that UTI drug right away. Because Urinary infections...

I have never had a first time does litter not live and I have been breeding for 6 years now. I breed Jersey Woolies and deal with dwarf genes too and all my first time doe litters have lived... So I don't believe in the saying "first time does litters usually die" What I really think is: First...

I'm really sorry this happened. Baby rabbits are harder to keep alive than baby puppies or kittens. With rabbits every little thing about their food and nest and everything has to be just right for them to live and thrive, they are the most fragile of all animals I think. It might not have...

Also if its hot where you live give him a frozen water and make sure he stays cool. Rabbits do not do well in heat at all.

About the megacolon...Its genetic and its the most common in spotted rabbits that have two spotted genes- which means they are mostly white with no spots on their back. So if your rabbit has that pattern he could have it. I've had a megacolon bunny. The biggest symptom is the poos are twice as...

Rachele I'm so sorry for your losses. If you can't go to the vet— do you have a small 1 ml syringe? I think you can get them in any drugstore pharmacy or petstore. Because I think maybe you should syringe 2 ml of electrolytes into the babies. And pedialyte for infants is the best one to...

When babies are that young and having problems like that I would actually go to the vet. That looks like it could be diarrhea to me and diarrhea in rabbits is treated as emergency situation. If that is diarrhea usually what actually kills any animal is the dehydration it causes. I think I...

Is the mom still nursing them? How old are they?

Changing the brand of pellet yes could definitely have something to do with it. Everything they eat could be the problem. If you switch pellets with adults in can cause problems and babies are more sensitive than adults. Prietler's advice for giving water is very good. Because as soon as...

That is really cute. But I noticed his eye looks runny. Is his eye ok?

I've had rabbits that didn't fight when they first met, I introduced my nuetered lop to unnuetered 4 month old and no fighting at all. But they where in a ex pen space no bunny had been in before. I don't like the idea of germs like e.cuniculi or cocci that could be picked up from the shelter.

The babies are pooping yellowish thick poop all over theirselves? That is not good. That sounds like they may have enteritis, which is inflamation of the gut, which is usually caused by something like a bad bacteria in their, same as when a human gets salmonella. They may need some medication...

I think it helps to take your bunny to a place your bunny doesn't usually go to trim nails. You know how when you take a bunny to the vet and they always sit still on the table, I think part of that is its a strange place- they don't know where to go are where to jump to. So if you take your...

"I am interested in breeding her because it's a natural process and due to the fact that they are NOT overpopulated there should be no reason why I take that away from her. What I want to know is their anything in their genetics, that would say I shouldn't breed her with another Lionhead or any...
