If it was a water based marker I think you have nothing to worry about, the permanent markers have more toxic chemicals but my thoughts are your rabbit will probably be ok because there would not have been enough on the paper to cause problems. I think all you can do is encourage extra water...

I don't have experience with this but I think if it was my rabbit I would want a second opinion from not just any vet, but a expert rabbit savvy specialist vet. Also, how old is your rabbit, if he is over 9 years old I wouldn't do surgery but if he is only six I would still consider it.

I would try to hold him up so his ribs are against your ear and listen to see if you can tell if it is his lungs or if there is anything in his air passages. Also, does his body temperature seem ok? I would worry that something like a dog may have gotten him or he swallowed something and there...

I think its best to spay, but you need to find a good rabbit savvy vet to take all the worry out of it. Spaying them will make them nicer pets, female rabbits can be pretty grumpy when their hormones act up, they are sweeter when they are spayed. Also, risk of Uterine cancer as they get older is...

jlindgren I'm not sure what is wrong with your bunny but did your vet give you Panacur active ingredient fenbendazol? That would be what you would need to treat EC (e. cuniculi) which is a protazoal infection that sometimes causes blindness, paralysis, and head tilt. It is fairly common and a...

If its later in the pregnancy, after day 27, usually if you sit with the doe on your lap and feed her a treat so she will sit still, you can put your hands on both sides of her tummy and just sit really still and wait, eventually you will feel movement or twitching, you don't really need to...

Amber Nik See, I do that too! Only I sing "you are my sunshine, my only sunshine" to my bunnies while I groom or pet them. It really helps ;)

Don't know if this helps but somewhere on another post someone said their rabbit only got the metacam shot that lasts for two days and a moderator did post and said that many believe that can be adequate for rabbits if they don't have any complications from the spay and are eating well the day...

Is he is housed with another rabbit, could he have gotten bitten? You should probably investigate further and see if there is any sign of infection, if there is a broken skin a bite from another rabbit, or if it look seems red and hot inflamed, or if there is a whitish discharge he needs to go...

I agree with Stevesmum. I think you have to groom her for her own health, so you need to take a "none of that nonsense approach". If I were you I would take her to a place that she has never been (the bathroom, spare bedroom) because they tend to freeze when they are in a strange place, then...

There does seem to be some controversy over what the correct dose of metacam is in rabbits, with some studies indicating that many vets may be under-dosing. This link mentions it if you read the last 3 paragraphs. http://vgr1.com/metacam/

I looked at the pictures of the babies and OMG, Harlequin magpies! What beautiful markings on every single one of them! If my rabbits had babies with those markings I would be over the moon!

To answer your question I'd say, its not normal for them to sneeze a lot, but on the other hand, if they sneeze a lot it isn't always that serious. Sometimes they are just allergic or sensitive to something in their environment. Also, sometimes they do have a little bit of an infection going on...

I think she was deeply sleeping. My lop does this sometimes. One day he was under the sofa and I nudged him and he wouldn't wake up so I began to drag him out from under the sofa, for a few seconds he still didn't wake up and i thought oh no! he's dead!, and then he startled and sprung up...

Also, this is good to read its about blockages and importance of hydration and fibre etc... . http://www.rabbit.org/journal/3-7/gi.html

Yes, they stop eating if they have a blockage. If they have a blockage, or stop eating or stop pooing, it is considered a medical emergency and you really are supposed to go to the vet right away. If for some reason you can't get to a vet right away and if you don't see your rabbit drinking...

Since his poos look small, so his gut doesn't slow down you could try to get more fibre into him by grinding hay in a coffee grinder/spice grinder and mixing it with banana or apple. That's what I did for one of mine to keep him from going into GI stasis when he was refusing hay. Also, you could...

It looks like her hind legs didn't form properly but if everything else works— maybe she will be just fine. I don't think it could be a peanut. Peanuts have a cone shaped head and her head shape looks normal. And peanuts have an incomplete digestive system so they usually starve to death...

Gosh I can't believer there where that many antibiotics used and nothing worked :( Since you've already tried so many antibiotics I do think trying to contact one of the specialists Jbun mentioned to see if any of them have had any luck with treating Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and what drugs the...

In the fur plugs post, someone said that it could be scent glands that are on their cheeks, which feel like a bump and can get a little crusty scab sometimes.
