Get an extremely good rabbit savvy vet for this. I agree with the post above it looks like cherry eye. If that is what it is— you want a vet that has experience with it. I had a friend whose rabbit had it and the vet charged her $800 to suture it back... the operation didn't work at all...

Please don't beat yourself up about your rabbit— I wish rabbits were more like dogs, but they are not, they are way more fragile. With my dogs if they get diarrhea I usually don't panic- I just feed rice and boiled chicken and 9 times out of 10 they are better the next day. With...

I recieved a rabbit from a breeder and when it arrived at my house it was sneezing. And it got worse quickly, he soon started sneezing white snot out of his nose, so he had a very bad infection. I took him to a vet and got an antibiotic that made it a lot better after three days- but on day 9...

I have a bunny that has bad balance (I have seen a vet and gotten meds for him). Since his balance is bad so I was worried he might have a hard time drinking out of his bowl with bad balance so I made some weak electrolyte solution so that it is just barely sweet- ...and he loves drinking it out...

I didn't read the whole thread but to pitch in my opinion on going to the vet. Going to the vet only right away only helps if you know you are going to a good rabbit vet. I've gone to the emergency vet in the middle of the night before with my rabbits to see the only vet on call and have had...

Is your vet a rabbit specialist? I think I would want to take mine to a specialist vet for that, even if I had to drive out of town. I think that it is in both eyes might is unusual. There is a common protozoal parasite rabbits can get called e. cuniculi that can cause a white cloudy spot in...

I think just picking up a bunny a little bit every day gets them used to being handled. Like just pick it up hold it with support close to your body, pet its head and sing twinkle twinkle little star three times before putting it back in its hutch.

When I got my rabbit vaccinated for calici he had a reaction- the vaccination spot turned really red and the hair fell out. It was kind of like a burn. He healed up ok from it. Because of that I read up about it and the say some times the vaccine does travel in to legs and cause a stiff leg...

My rabbits usually kindle on the 31st day. Some of my does wait until the very last minute to build a nest and pull fur, by very last minute I mean its day 31 and they haven not even built the nest, which made me start thinking maybe not pregnant, and then in an 12 hour time span they built the...

Give her some treats and pet her and talk to her and she will forgive you. I have jersey woollies and I have to brush and clip hair a lot to make sure they don't get wool block... I even have to clip fur around their back end and they hate that. Getting out all the loose hair just has to be...

I read and post on many rabbit forums and facebook forums and its very, very, common for people to post that hey feel responsible for their rabbits death and really beat themselves up about it. In contrast, never do I hear people who have cats or dogs say they feel like it was their fault when...

This is a good explanation of GI Stasis and a really good read. Hope it helps: http://www.rabbitsonline.net/showthread.php?t=23808 Also, its good to make sure you have syringes, small ones, incase you ever need to syringe fluids/electrolytes, because if your rabbit ever does get stasis you...

If she didn't grunt or growl, or lunge or box with her front feet, then I think it sounds more like she was just nibbling to me. Usually if they are biting in an aggressive way they also grunt or growl so you know they are angry. And usually, at least with mine, if they are grumpy its because...

Also, I'm not sure what is in a hot spot topical spray but anything you put on a rabbit, you have to google each ingredient until you are certain its not poisonous to rabbits. Things you can put on cats or dogs may be toxic to your rabbit so unless it says for rabbits I would not use it.

I can't see in the picture very well, but if your rabbit was with another bunny that is one of the spots where they tend to over groom and make bald spots. If the skin is flakey or red I would think it could be mites. I've used Revolution for cats for mites and can go to my vet and the vet tech...

As soon as I read she was 8 years old, I decided No it was nothing you did. But I also read the rest. And I am still positive it was nothing you did. You gave her fluids and gave her meds, you did everything you could, at 8 years old it was just her time.

I think one of the main things with aneasthetic is sometimes they might not eat afterwards, so it sounds like you already have things on hand like critical care and syringes to give him fluids and a bit of food if he doesn't eat afterwards. I think its good that you are getting it done as...

I have scissors for cat grooming with rounded tips and cut the fur with poop off. Also if you have baby rabbits and their poo gets soft a lot of times it means they are eating too many greens or treats like carrots or even too many pellets and they need more hay.

My advice is if she sneezes try to check her nose right afterwards, if there is no white discharge, I wouldn't worry too much.
