I don't know what happened to the one that lost top front teeth but I have heard of someones rabbit that fell and hit front teeth really hard and they shattered and came out- but they noticed blood and swelling. With the one with butting teeth, wondering what age because I have heard it...

To clean the nest box, because they do pee and it can get soggy, especially if there are 8 babies. I cut out pieces of brown corragated card board the same size as bottom of the nest box and put a few layers of paper towels under the cardboard on bottom of nest box, on day 8 I take that out...

I think bloat, like jbun said, also sounds very possible. I've read that the opening right where the stomach empties into the intestines is small and if a blockage occurs there the intestine can twist and it happens very suddenly. This is sad, I think it may have also happened to one of my...

Maybe you could make an eyewash with black tea and drip it into his eye to wash it out?

If she is eating and pooing then I wouldn't worry so much and just watch closely. If you feel she is in pain you could call the vet and see if she should have so Metacam which is a pain reliever. If she stops eating you should call the vet and probably should syringe fluids/electrolytes...

Thanks everyone. I think it is a reaction to the vaccine somehow. Scab looks a little thicker today and I think its healing. Edge seems a little redder but I think its because its where his body naturally creases at the neck line. Wish I could post a better photo but right now my camera is...

Does your bunny ever get to go outside to a safe place with some grass to hop on. As my bunnies get older they seem very ho-hum about exercising in the house but still get excited and run around and explore a lot if I put them outside in an exercise pen on reall grass.

One thing you might try is to pick her up and take her to a place she has never been like the kitchen counter, or into your car trim her nails. Sometimes the shock of being in a strange place makes them freeze in place trying to figure out where they are and they sit still for a longer period of...

If there are a few poos stuck I usually put on a strong pair of reading glasses so I can see up close and then I get out my small grooming scissors for cats that have a ball tip and I trim the fur away that has the poo stuck to it. With yours is sounds like if she doesn't like being picked up it...

What do the matts look like? Does it seem to be poo or wee? Really your rabbits should always have a clean butt and if it doesn't its a sign that something might not be right with her health. It could be that she has sticky poo because her diet needs more hay and fiber. Or it could be something...

I took all my rabbits to get them vaccinated against RHD with Cyclap vaccine and the next day one of them, Julio, had a big red spot where he was vaccinated. It almost looked like a burn. Otherwise, he seems perky and playful, eating as normal. I emailed the photo of big red spot someone I...

Agree with others Greece you will need to get your vet to give you a prescription for another drug. My vet in New Zealand has given my rabbits a shot of Convenia for bite wounds that started looking infected. My other vet perscribed Azithromycin which is a childrens drug I had to get from the...

If she stopped eating when she was shedding make sure you really brush her a lot, she may have ingested her own fur and to me its a sign that she is one of those bunnies that might be prone to wool block and needs extra brushing when she molts.

Tell us what you feed your rabbit on a daily bases? I would push fluids, offer water in a bowl with some fresh pineapple juice or apple juice to encourage drinking, to make sure your rabbit is fully hydrated. Rabbits digestive systems slow down if they become dehydrated for any reason. If...

If he liked the first pellets better you should probably switch back. I think rabbits do sleep a lot, I've noticed one of the most active times for mine is 5:00-9:00 in the morning so I miss it because I am sleeping, they always sleep all afternoon and then get active again at 5:00 in the...

Take your bunny to a strange place to do his nails and just do it in your lap, a strange place like outside on the front porch or sit in the car- the strange environment noises and smells makes them sit still. I just sit them in my lap and hold my rabbits like a football against my stomach, I...

I think you did the right thing, she had 8 good yrs with you and you should feel good about that. Bunnies are very fragile and 8 yrs is an accomplishment.

It would be good to try to put them together in a space where no bunny has been before. Its natural that the first bunny would defend his/her special sleeping and perching spots from other rabbits and could cause fights. When ever mine have fought its always over a special spot like a tunnel or...

Cocci is a really common parasite and it seems like a lot of farm folk who keep other livestock besides rabbits are routinely treating for it. I think its super common for chickens and goats to get it and if you go to any farm store you always see Cocci medications lining the shelves. Also...

Dana Krempels who has a Phd and is a rabbit specialist and writes for the house rabbit society recommends the Ponazuril for EC if Panacur doesn't work. I emailed her once and she answered all my questions about it, (you can look up her Email address on the Bio Miami University website and email...
