He is a cutie. We have a young girl with similar hair. Am trying to gradually accustom herto light brushing with asoft baby brush. She still wont let me brush her underside either.

Am so sorry for the loss of your mother rabbit. I lost a female guinea pig once during the birth process because one baby was too large for the mom to deliver. She had tetany, and the vet tried to remove the baby after oxytocin, but we lost mom. Her other babies could not come out because of the...

Glad Min Min is doing better! What a cutie.

Spent hours today cleaning out Dutchess’ two old outdoor cages. Then let her go in one cage for an hour. She recognized it instantly, sniffed it everywhere, then did a lot if grooming. Planning to take her out for a few hours every day, so she can get some sun/vit D. Still at a loss on how to...

Dutchess loves fresly trimmed wild lawn grass. She began eating a little hay now that she is getting yard grass. Am going to push foods requiring back and forth chewing.

Dutchess has a vet appt (drop off, all vet will do) in three days. She has had spurs removed four times and has overly long tooth roots on xray. She is eating well (even ate a little hay today,). However after 9 days on otofloxacin eye drops she still has crusty eyes. I warm her eye drops a...

I am so very sorry for your loss.

Do you have access to a yard with wild grass? Or a grocery with wheat grass? Would consider planting grass seed then letting Clara eat it. Our bunny with tooth problems will start eating if i give her kale and trimmed lawn grass. Wishing the best for you and for Clara.

Poor Simba. I would hate to think he was injured at the vet’s. Glad to hear he is getting around ok and hope he is better soon.

Bunnies can still eat hay without incisors, and from my limited knowledge, have read that hay is essential to prevent molar problems. If the bunny can no longer chew hay, Oxbow has two hay-based critical cares.

Sorry, havent had bunnies with incisors removed. We have had guinea pigs who broke incisors who ate ok, and we have a cat who had to have her teeth all removed due to severe dental disease(was a rescued stray) who recovered and eats well. Am wishing for the best for your bunny.

Sorry to hear Simba has a foot problem. Have read that sometimes after trauma the limb will recover. Might Simba have arthritis? When our poor male, Arnold, lost use of both hind legs, xrays didnt show anything. Did vet talk about a brief trial of a steroid? By the time we got Arnold into a vet...

Hope she is all bettersoon. Hope she will gradually let you clean her face.

When our bunny suddenly showed paralysis, we used towels underneath puppy pads, then could toss the puppy pads and wash the towels.

Would ask about meloxicam, which is an antinflammatory, pain med that works well.

Our bunny showed some bladder sludge just on a simple xray, so that might be an option to check her gi and urinary tracts.

Dutchess ate some hay today! Vet said her skull xrays show elongated molar roots. Am studying rabbit dental disease so dont want to rush into tooth crown burring when she is doing ok.

Vet today called, said bunny expert consulted on xrays which show that Dutchess has elongated molar roots. Vet wanted to burr down her molar crowns, but she ate today including some hay today.so i am hesitant to do this while she seems ok. Am reading about possible causes for dental disease...

Am very glad Simba is doing well! Vet called and said he sent Dutchess’ xrays to a rabbit expert, who said she has elongated molar roots. Vet wanted me to have her molars burred down but right now she is eating. Am reading about ways to correct a rabbits diet to try to stop the tooth problems...

Have been researching this because our lionhead, Dutchess, has spurs and overgrown roots on xray. Here is one of the articles i found, suggesting time outside in the sun, vit D and calcium, etc. https://knowledge.rcvs.org.uk/document-library/fellowships-harcourtbrown-t-692/harcourt-brown-20578.pdf
