The verdict is in: Bender has fur mites. I'm really surprised because he didn't show any symptoms except the mild case of dandruff, but I'm really glad that we were able to get a definitive diagnosis. The vetgrabbed a small tuft of fur from Bender's behind (no actual scraping of skin, yay!) and...

The buns are doing fine; Bender is unchanged with his flaky skin. I'm glad that we're taking him in to get him diagnosed tomorrow. It will feel really good to figure out what's going on. I assume they'll do a skin scraping, which I don't know too much about, but hope it's not too traumatizing...

Hey all! :) I know I'm pretty quiet on here, especially as of late, but I would really appreciate any insight any of you have about Bender's skin condition. I've already called a local vet and he has an appointment for Friday afternoon, but I would like to get familiar with possible diagnoses...

I vote for "Lily!" ;) Have you decided on a nameyet? She's a cutie -- great addition to your crew!

Mmm, Cheesecake Factory! Hubby and I were just there on Wednesday, celebrating our 3-year anniversary! The menu is a little pricey, but it's perfect for a special occasion (not *too* expensive). If two people have normal appetites, you could easily share an entrée because the portions are so...

Oh Ang, I'm so sorry! :( I was wondering when you would get the results. Please keep us updated on Finn and the rest of your crew. ♥

You've gotten lots of great comments from everyone, but I figured I'd go ahead and throw my 2 cents in here too. I really do believe that it depends on the individual bunny as to how they shed and how much they shed. My husband and I have 2 Mini Rexes, both about the same age and nearly the...

I sincerely hope Benjamin is OK! tonyshuman wrote: I don't mean to get off-topic, but you may want to wait a little longer after his surgery to start bonding. Although he's neutered, he can stay fertile for up to 6 weeks after the procedure (source). It will also take some time for his...

My husband and I looked into this product too, but were told that there was suspicion that this product could lead to kidney problems, so we passed. If it's not entirely safe, I don't trust it.

Yay, I'm so glad she's home now!:)

Patti, you got us here too, LOL!! :P Thank you so much, everyone, from me and the hubby!!! :biggrin2: Yup, we officially have a doctor in the house! Graduation was wonderful; we were able to share the day with some of his family and the weather was gorgeous. Now comes the task of our first...

I didn't know you had a foster!! What a gorgeous gal! Happy to hear that she's already got a forever-home lined up, that's wonderful! Thanks for sharing the cute pics! :biggrin2:

DH and I (and Bender and Lily, of course!) are moving to the grand state of Ohio next month (yay!!) and thought I would ask for personal recommendations for vets in the area. We're moving to Beavercreek, OH, which is near Dayton, so anything with a 937 area code would be do-able. I've already...

Personally, I think that Kaytee's Healthy Toppings are great. Basically, it's just dried fruit, which keeps well, and it's also diced up into tiny portions, which helps us give them sparingly. To me, it doesn't taste like they added sugar and the packaging just lists "dried" papaya/banana/etc...
