Am so sorry for your loss of Roady.

Am giving her veggies by hand to keep her from going into GI stasis plus the meds because I tried to get her into five different vets yesterday without success (the only ones within an hours drive who will see exotics). So far she is pooping in her box and leaving pee stains in her box and on...

Unable to get an appt until Monday (three days). Dutchess not eating or drinking so am hand feeding her veggies and syringes of water. Am changing the puppy pads under her. Giving her enrofloxacin, meloxicam, simethicone, and reglan and putting chlorhexadine mousse on her rear end twice daily...

Dutchess was anesthetized and shaved at the vet today. He could not get a urine sample due to severe urine sludge. He continued the enrofloxacin, and added meloxicam for pain and chlorhexadine mousse for wound healing.She is still woozy but starting to eat and really smells all better. I cleaned...

Diane R, thank you. Will try half tsp apple juice in her water bowl. She saw a vet today who said she needs to be shaved while anesthetized. He prescribed enrofloxacin because he said her skin is infected. She goes back to vet tomorrow. In meantime, may gently dry clean her with cornstarch.

Got apple juice and pineapple juice today and put juice in her bottles. She wont touch it.

Blue Eyes, thank you foryour prompt reply. I have been giving her syringes of water because last time shewent to a vet, he said the xray showed some urine sludge. She has two bottles and a water dish but I never see her drink water. I may have been giving her too many greens recently since Uno...

Noticed that Dutchess, who recently began rooming with her new love, neutered Uno, had a smelly rear end. She was coated in poop and hay, so gently washed her off several times. She still is smelly. Right now she is in her outside hutch with Uno (i had to remove him from her indoor hutch for a...

Tried to bond Abby and Dutchess (spayed females) for months. Dutchess, who is about six and much larger, just ran from Abby, who is a year old and much smaller, but humped Dutchess’ face once. Got a third male bunny, Uno (neutered) who is a year old. Did scent swapping and noncontact visuals...

Gave Uno his meloxicam, but he still wouldnt eat. Finally, when i put his girl bunnies back inside from their outdoor cages, held each up to him. They went nose to nose. And he perked right up and started eating and seems happy again.

Thank you for your good wishes. Uno isnt eating yet, just sitting like a statue. Will give him the meloxicam and tryto coax him to eat. If he wont eat will offer critical care and ask vet about reglan. I feel so guilty as Uno was so happy go lucky and eager to eat and socialize before his...

Thank you. Uno apparently had an undescended testicle so his neutering was complicated. He is sitting quietly but not eating so am a little worried.

Uno is a really sweet bunny! He is to go to the vet tomorrow to be fixed and i am so nervous. I hate to get the bunnies fixed even though i know it is better for their physical and mental health. Uno will get two spayed females to bond with after his hormones dissipate.

hope the buns are both ok. Bonding is a lot of work.

Very sorry you lost little Bluebelle..

Uno visited the vet for a wellness check. He was so friendly and well behaved! Dutchess is definitely interested in him, keeps watching him from her cage. I let him run around for exercise. Need to get a bunny run to attachto our two story hutch, for after he is fixed and everyone is bonded...

Got a vet appt for neuteringfor Uno. They are very busy, wanted me to wait 10 weeks but finally agreed to an appt about 3 weeks. He is peeing to mark when i let him run around, so i put plastic down. I dont have an extra outdoor play cage, just two, so will have to let them play outside one...

Blue Eyes, thank you for the suggestions and the bonding link! Am s hoping they will bond. It is hard to be patient, but a few weeks or a month is worth waiting if they like each other and are happy.

Found out he is intact, so will not start any bonding until after he is fixed.

Just adopted a year old male bunny, Uno, from the shelter, to live with our two spayed lionheads. Uno is to have a wellness check next week and i dont think he is neutered. So am keeping him separate. The two females live on different floors of a large two story indoor cage and have outdoor play...
