oh yeah, it can definitely be dusty hay. we try to shake ours out really well before giving it to them now. the vet gave us some opthalmic ointment that we are to put in his eyes for a couple days when they start getting wet/goopy. I am not home to look at the bottle right now, but I think it's...

I texted one of the people who work at the rescue since they close in the late afternoon, and she just told me they were taking her in the next day and that she appreciated me being concerned about their rabbits. I'm going to assume she is ok, since I would hope after that she would have texted...

The vet said they could do a blood test to look for pasteurella, but that it was VERY expensive and they usually don't do the test because most people can't afford it. He thinks allergies are also likely due to a variety of factors, but just to be safe we should start giving him the cream...

From what I've read online, it seems to either be a genetic thing or something that develops due to environmental conditions when they are babies. The vet doesn't seem concerned about it. He's had it his whole life and it doesn't seem to bother him, just looks cute. and thank you!

Took Gus to the vet the other day for his sniffles, which have been a recurring problem, and the vet said he either has pasteurella or allergies, and gave us antibiotic cream, saying it won't hurt him to give him antibiotics every once in a while. We also got his nails cut while we were there...

I would have put this in health and wellness, but it's not my rabbit and I don't have much control over the situation. Just wanted to share something kind of awful since it's really bothering me...I can't really take advice since I don't own this rabbit. Please do not read if discussion about...

my male bit the end of my female's lip clean off when she was a baby. her wound looked similar, and she did have to get a few dissolvable stitches. if it looks like it could be getting infected (you said there is pus, that could be a sign), you should probably take her to the vet if possible.

did the vet tell you she could be running around a couple days after surgery? ours had to stay confined for 2 weeks while her incision healed up so she wouldn't accidentally hurt herself. (I'm not a vet so take everything I say with a grain of salt. This is just what my vet said.) I did read...

thanks to the people who replied! I'm trying to find more people in the area to volunteer or possibly foster some of the bunnies--the rescue is currently over capacity because they took in several pregnant rabbits who had about 50 babies all together. they're really needing help right now. I'm...

Today I went to the rabbit rescue with my roommate for the second time to help clean the cages. Unfortunately the day was off to kind of a bad start when one of the other volunteers there was wearing an article of clothing with a logo that kind of...activates my fight or flight response. It kind...

I took a video of this. She binkied and then flopped over and snuggled with him!

I went in and got to feed about 60 bunnies. There were so many, the place is a bit overwhelmed right now so they were thankful that I agreed to come in a few times a week. The bunnies are so sweet and friendly! A lot of them came right up to me and wanted attention and I got to pet them.

I looked it up and the name of the color on a giant rabbit is "fawn"

I finally got a call back from the rabbit rescue and they will be letting me volunteer to feed rabbits there! They originally wanted me to come in on Wednesday, but they called this morning and said I should come in today to watch them feed the rabbits so I know what to do. I'm excited to get to...

maybe you could try facebook (even if you don't have a facebook, you could make one just to see people in your area). I was surprised how quickly a gofundme I made got around when my mom shared it on facebook. or as someone else suggested, craigslist, or another site where you can post...

Yeah, bad luck happens unfortunately. :'( I hope for good luck in your future. stay strong and I hope you are doing ok.

My giant papillon Gus has some problems! (I put an * next to questions I have.) Every few months or so, he starts getting wet eyes, and starts scratching them a lot. Sometimes it even leads to him getting sores around his eyes because he won't leave them alone. He also starts getting sneezing...

Something that helped me feel better about getting our female spayed was finding a vet who specializes in rabbits and does tons of rabbit spay/neuters. I went to the vet who spays my family friend's giant rabbits, since this person had never lost a rabbit to the procedure. Our rabbit had no...

I am so sorry to hear that. I have never personally known anyone who has had that happen to their rabbit, but of course there are risks with any surgery. It's understandable if you don't think you could go through with it after that experience, I just hope your future rabbits are healthy. I...

oh yeah. we shop vac'd that whole area after sweeping up the big chunks. it took nearly 30 minutes! and the bunnies didn't much like the noise.
