Thanks a lot, I appreciate it! I just got home from work, I am going to make a couple of phone calls and will update after that.

As most of you know, I have done rabbit rescue for a few years now. I have worked with a couple of other rescues and taken in overflows when those shelters/rescues needed space. Here is the story of what is going on here, as short as I can make it: A few weeks ago, I got a call from an animal...

:pray: for your guy as he goes through his surgery. Make sure you have some Critical Care on hand for afterwards in case he doesn't feel like eating, the double surgery will be a little more stressful recovery wise. You are doing the right thing though, the abscess is a lot less likely to come...

This is an old picture, but I still love it. My DH with one of my baby Flemmies, he was trying to look all tough but I could tell he was having fun anyway, LOL. I also love the disapproving baby bunny face!

Looks like an abcess to me too, I had one of my Flemmies get one right there. Antibiotics cleared it up fine. Just get to a bunny-savvy vet as soon as you are able to.

Yeah, he seemed to be doing pretty darn well when I took him in. He was doing "normal" bunny things, just doing them a little slowly is all. But now.... He is not moving around much, and seems depressed. I hate to pick him up and mess with him because that seems to mess with his balance even...

Unfortunately, he seems to be getting worse rather than better. He is having difficulty drinking now, and the smallest strange sound or sight now starts him rolling. I am going to talk to the vet and see if there is anything else we can try, like the Panacur suggested earlier. If that doesn't...

Did he get better, or was he that way permanently??

I felt awful for the little guy, he was trying so hard to do normal bunny things like chewing and digging in the towel in his basket, but he was having such a hard time keeping his balance. Thankfully his appetite is still good, I put his pellets and hay kinda spread out on his floor or on a...

Ok, I was able to get him into the vet today. She concluded that it was pasteurella (sp?) which led to an inner ear infection. He is on oral Baytril for 14 days, and she said if he doesn't show significant improvement in a couple of days to bring him back in. Poor little guy is very stressed...

I'm confused, I thought christinelea1 was part of Bunny Justice? There were several other posters/new members here that I was under the impression were part of that group also. Was I mistaken?

I have no idea at this point. I will be calling the vet in the morning to see about getting him in. It will be late tomorrow or the day after before I will be able to get on here and post an update on what the vet says though, so bear with me. :)

I took in a new rescue this afternoon, a very young buck that can't straighten his head up. He is about 8-9 weeks old, the owner couldn't afford medical care for him and was going to euthanize him but gave him to me instead in the hope I might be able to help him out. She said he has been eating...

Thankfully I have never had to move with my rabbits, but I had one years ago that would "help" me clean his cage, LOL. He would wait until I wasn't looking and then steal the litter scoop and run around the room with it. The funniest part was that the scoop was so big he couldn't see where he...

I have a question about the fencing for a rabbitat. Do you need to bury a few inches of it in the ground in case they dig out? I have been keeping all of my spayed/neutered rescues in a large homemade run since the weather finally warmed up enough for them to be comfortable. I move the run every...

slavetoabunny wrote: Well, other than the fact that they didn't fill out the "Sold to" part, the pedigree looks pretty good. I wouldn't have liked the whole crossed out name thing though.

Ok, thanks, I just saw this update. Yeah, definitely not one of my pedigrees. I was pretty sure I would have remembered a Garfield, I didn't breed that many.

I don't think I have ever had one named Garfield. If I could find my darn record and pedigree book I could tell you for sure. It would have had to have been from my last litter though, it has been quite a long time since I bred any. Do you happen to know what the rabbit's color was? ETA: I just...
