<<We have a 5 month old rabbit with pretty sever malocclusion of the front teeth. We are committed to taking him to have his teeth clipped every few weeks. I...
I have also had several rabbits with this problem. The first was Smokey who had upper teeth that curled around like the tusks on a warthog. His teeth were...
This topic was discussed at this year's rabbit care conference sponsored by the NYC HRS chapter. The vets om the panel didn't discuss trimming v removing (that...
Hello, Our bunny is suddenly acting very restless and skittish. This morning she was totally normal and especially playful. When we returned, she didn't get...
I would suspect a GI problem. It may be simply a bad "gas attack", but to be safe I would try to get in to see a bunny savvy vet today. GI problems can...
Thanks for the reply. My husband and I have been waiting to hear back from our vet, but haven't heard anything yet. After your email, he's going to give them...
Thank you all so much for your help. Fortunatley, we have a great vet. For now, we will continue to have his teeth clipped and discuss other options with the...
Thank you very much for your response. I called our vet this morning and described the problem. The vet also thought it could be a GI issue and recommended we...
It may, or may not, signal a problem. But it's obviously worrying you, so why not call her vet and take her in, just for your own peace of mind? Peggy...
If she's not showing improvement by tomorrow, I would suggest asking about pain medication as that is what I "felt" the restlessnes was a sign of. I know some...
Last night we found that it will probably be impossible to administer the medications the vet gave us to her orally. Between the struggle to get her in hand...
If you can handle needles (and if I can, I promise you can too -- I still turn green when I see one headed for a human on TV) ... have your vet show you how to...
When Domino went into stasis life was h*ll. Have your husband (or you) hold the bun tightly to his chest (keeping that back as rigid as possible to prevent...
The way that we've found easiest to give Cinnamon her medicine is on the floor. I kneel down, with a knee on each side of her body, and my hands on her...
Hi Jane, I sympathize - we had the same trouble with our first bunny and we were nw bunny moms....I ended up putting the meds in a teaspoon w/a very little...
Success! We've gotten Ohren (our rabbit-means ears in German) to take chopped-up lettuce laced with the medication, and my husband was able to get her in a...
... Ask the vet if you can mix the meds in with her water. My Mojo was terrified of receiving oral meds from a syringe, plus it tastes bad - not a good combo...

Tough when they do not want to be caught at all... but after you do, try the 'bunny burrito' in a towel trick too- to keep her legs immobile (and your skin a...
Hi, I wish there was a SIDS for pets, as I lost my darling girl, my bunny, Butter, only 4.5 yrs. on Nov 6. It was sudden with no signs/symptoms. Please....if...
Thank you again to everyone who has responded to our initial post. Hearing everyone's experiences have been helpful both in practice and camaraderie. Now that...
To what extent is she pooping? That's what always helps me gauge how recovery is going. Poops may be smaller and fewer in quantity than normal at first, but if...
Dear Cassandra, So sorry to hear about your loss of Butter. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Most of us on this group have lost bunnies. We've lived with...
