Just wanted to hijack for a minute to tell you all "hi" and "I miss you"!! Things have been really rough for me. I lost Max and Basil within 6 months of eachother. My heart felt like it was ripped out of my chest. I still have 4 other bunnies, but none of them hold a candle to my relationship...

Wish I was closer, I would so be there!!!

Our shelter uses Panacur on ALL bunnies who come in who have been found or kept outside to treat for worms just in case. Yes, they use it like Revolution as a "just in case" medicine since it doesnt have any side effects. You can usually find it over the counter (I think its labeled for goats)...

I was just reading this and your other post and was wondering, how did the vet diagnose this cancer? Did she take a biopsy or is she just assuming based on the scabs? You didnt say so I thought I would ask. I had a friend who had a vet tell her her bunny had cancer when really it was a tick that...

I agree about having his urine tested just in case. It does sound like it could be a urinary tract infection. Have you been able to see the urine? Is it lighter or darker or anything? One other thing I noticed is when my rabbits have GI issues, like gas, they tend to pee in weird places...

What kind of antibiotic is she on? Is she taking that willingly?

Im surprised your bunny doesnt love Metacam...mine can't get enough of it! I didnt know it came in liver flavor..I thought all of it was honey? You might want to check the manufacturers website to be sure. If your bun doesnt like it, your best bet is to mix it in something she does like. I...

I agree with the others. It could be a bite on his back caused him to scratch at the area. I would have it checked just in case, especially if it is a large area and the hair doesnt appear to be coming back. I would definitely have his eyes checked out. A vet will be able to tell you if he...

I have heard that lightern(white) bunnies tend to attract more ticks. When I found my lionhead, Mr. Tumnus, in the field near my parents house he was COVERED in ticks. Most of them were around his ears and and neck/back area. I had to pull them all out and one had lodged itself so deep inside...

Oh Angela, I was just reading in my other post how you were about to lose Fey and now I see this. I am so so sorry for your loss. My heart is so heavy for you. I always loved Fey and Sprite so much and seeing their pictures and hearing of their antics always made me smile. Like Jan, I cant...

Thanks for the tip, Angela. I didnt think of that! Max is doing much better today. He just ate a bunch of pellets for dinner which was a first since the surgery. I think he is out of the woods...just hoping we dont develop an infection or anything. Im keeping up on Bicillin for a while. Max...

Very strange! I almost ordered some online because I havent been able to find it. I have been feeling carrot baby food to him but I know it's not very high in fiber and so many carbs...

I WISH I could get canned pumpkin! Is no one else out of it? I havent been able to find it in stores since November. I had heard there would be a shortage so I stocked up before Thanksgiving. Something about all the cold and rain we got last year in the major pumpkin growing areas. Do others...

I got this same message via email. Has anyone tried contacting Midwest Rabbit Rescue to see if they can help? I agree with Pipp, they NEED to get those boys and girls separated ASAP or they will soon have hundreds of rabbits easily. Do you know where they are located? Maybe I could help with...

Thanks everyone for your kinds words, thoughts and prayers. They must be working. Max is doing better today but still in a lot of pain. He wouldnt eat anything yesterday. This morning I got him to eat some baby food and a few pellets. He refuses the pellet slurry but seems interested in regular...

Oh dear, I am heartbroken to hear this. Patrick was always so special to me. He reminded me so much of my boys and he and Luna (and then Zappa) always made my day when you posted pictures. I was so envious of your dutch trio..and then I got one myself, if only for a few months. I lost my Basil...

Thanks guys. We are home now and he is doing ok. Our vet dentist is an hour away so we were down there from 9 am until 7 pm. Max was in surgery for almost two hours. When the vet did the xray this morning he found a huge mass where the roots of 2-3 of his molars should be. When he got in there...

Hi all Just wanted to write and ask for prayers and good thoughts for my Max. He had been sneezing again so I took him in to have his teeth checked again. Turns out he had yet another abscess at the base of a molar. Brought him in today for surgery to have the tooth extracted and three molars...

PS. Max is doing ok, thanks for asking. He was able to say goodbye before and after Basil went. I think he knew for days Basil was passing. He has Hazel here to keep him company and Im giving him extra treats and attention. I just wish he would snuggle the way Basil did. :(

Thank you everyone for the kind words. I am beyond heartbroken right now. I knowI gave himthe most amazing life possible, but I still feel like there is a hole in my heart right now without him. Feels like piece of me is missing. I keep going in the room expecting to see his happy little face...
