We are sending all our love your way to surround Lillian with. So glad to hear she’s back home in her comfy place. ❤️

Sounds exactly like what’s been going on with Pete as in they flushed loads of gunk out during his GA but ever since then it seems to have fully closed with I’m wondering could be caused by inflammation maybe? They also caught his eye during the flush and caused an ulcer to appear on his eye...

Yes I’ve been reading about the injections. Maybe I’ll bring it up with them tonight and see but I’m just concerned as to what has caused this flare up. It’s just strange how his tear ducts have been fine throughout all this but it’s just been the last week it’s been blocked up. It just gets me...

These are an exotics specialist vets. I’ll have to have a good in-depth chat about it all tonight with them as we’ve been back and fourth now and a lot of money spent and we are still non the wiser and need a definite diagnosis to be able to get Pete right

It was strange as after the X-rays and the dental they said “it could be his tooth roots pushing through” but I was kind of confused as they’ve done x rays etc and still seemed none the wiser about the issue. I’m starting to lose trust in vets as I just seem to be going around in circles. Can...

He has been on isathal then went onto a watery one which I can’t remember the name of. That didn’t seem very effective either

Yes he’s had a swab taken and it was pastrella or however it’s spelt and Baytril was sensitive to it. There wasn’t any diagnosis of what the small findings were but the vet said she could only see it very faintly on one X-ray but couldn’t see it on any others. She said it could be something...

Hi all. Hopefully this isn’t a too long of a post but I’ve been having problems with Pete for the past month or so. We got him 5 months or so ago from a family who didn’t want him anymore and his hutch was tiny. We got him home and a few weeks later he developed the common symptoms of snuffles...

Yeah the bolts are quite hard to get out as I’ve made them only just fit through the hole as so you have to spin them to get them out so hopefully that will keep them at bayyeah 12mm is another board we use on site for boarding up houses to deter people from getting in so I’m sure a fox wouldn’t...

What I’ve done is put the back of the hutch up against a shed that next door has and they’ve also got concrete slabs so nothing can dig under and all across the front of the hutch I’ve build 2 door covers that cover the top and bottom fully that are 18mm thick and those and held in place by...

Yeah I was under the impression foxes were quite good at Parkour haha what I did last night was made doors out of 18mm external ply for the hutch with hasp locks on the side. I’ve put small windows in the bottom tier so he can peer out but on the upstairs part I’ve drilled 19mm holes in the part...

Hi all. Sorry if this has already been discussed but I’m just wanting your thoughts? My rabbit hutch isn’t very fox proof and a fox would probably be able to get in pretty easily I’d imagine. Now I’m wondering if raising the hutch off the ground would stop them from getting in through the mesh...

So he had to go back to the vets again tonight as an emergency for his eye as the vet wasn’t happy and needed to check him. Turns out possibly during his op when his ducts got flushed they caught his eye and made it ulcer so he’s been given eye ointment and given a pain killer jab tonight. 😔...

Yeah he’s always loved to come and chill out. His eye is still closed and his heads slightly tilted also his ear droops slightly on the same side. I’ve rang the vets and set them a few images so hopefully it’s nothing to worry about and that given tine the antibiotics work and clear it out. He’s...

Also forgot to mention as soon as I rough him home and opened the carry case door. He’s just bounced about and just hasn’t sat still. He flops every now and again but then jumps back up and darts around again.
