My fourth post in this area of the forum this year. I'm beyond even knowing how to process that. On Friday we lost our beloved, crazy, beautiful Mishka to something that should never have happened. A tiny, slightly awkward fall from the second floor of her pen - 14" drop onto a soft foam floor...

Has anyone been through this - good or bad experience? We've had an absolutely horrific week. Last thursday I found our dear little Mishka (8yrs old) with her back end collapsed and dragging her back legs around. I had seen her jump from the second tier of her pen a few hours before and land a...

Hi all, I'm struggling to find a good carrier that is suitable for 2 rabbits who are both over 2kg each. I had to take them in for their vaccination last week and they were sitting on each others heads it was such a squeeze :oops: my old large one is missing several catches now. I had one that...

The dreaded day finally came. Yesterday we finally lost our beautiful little warrior Jazzie. Jazzie was our second rabbit (along with her original partner Maple who sadly passed away at only 2 1/2yrs to strongly suspected EC). Jazzie had been with us for 9yrs through the most horrific points in...

In the early hours of Sunday morning we finally lost our precious little Lunar. After months of treating what was believed to be a lower respiratory infection she was x-rayed in April and found to have a large tumour around her heart/lungs (possibly thymoma) which was thought to have...

A tree we have in our front garden has suddenly grown huge this year. I want to cut it back but was wondering first if anyone knew if it was rabbit safe so I could give the branches and leaves to the buns? I have a suspicion about it maybe being a type of willow but I'm not so great with trees...

Just in pieces right now. I've posted a few times in the last few weeks about our precious Lunar who we thought had a lower respiratory tract infection. Today we finally risked an x-ray as treatment wasn't working. It seems she has a tumour which the vet thinks is metastatic. Her lungs are being...

Hi all, sorry to be a pest with a second thread, and I'm really sorry this is probably a stupid question.. Lunar saw the exotics vet yesterday and she's been given salbutamol for nebulising with 4ml saline 2-3 x a day in addition to 1 session daily with 10ml saline and 0.04ml f10 that she's been...

Hi, sorry to bother everyone. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on giving injections with a rabbit that flinches? One of my girls has a lower respiratory tract infection that isn't going. It's been a good 2 months+ now and oral antibiotics (co-trim, marbocyl) weren't working (she's...

So far beyond broken I don't even know how to describe it. It's been 17 days since we lost Cody unexpectedly to a cardiac arrest while having a scheduled surgery for an ear abscess. We've just had confirmation that we will soon lose another. Our precious little Jazzie has had EC for years, we've...

This is has turned into a bit of rant. Sorry.. Utterly heartbroken right now and I have no one else to confide in. Since losing our Mum a year and a half ago I've noticed how little anyone else cares about rabbits. Even those who try to be sympathetic don't realise just how important they are...

Debated whether this belonged here or in Health so sorry if it's in the wrong place :oops: Just wondered if anyone knew how cold would be too cold indoors for a bun and when steps need to be taken. Long story short we have another winter without heating (gas boiler broke down a couple of years...

Hi all, I posted some time back about my poor dental girl Snowflake. Her poor mouth is a mess and she's had an awful lot of teeth removed. She developed an infection after removal some months back but thankfully eventually fought it off and all seems to have settled dental wise for the moment...

We had the most awful experience this weekend. Long story short our baby Honey was in the vet a few weeks ago as she had suddenly developed a cataract in her left eye. We have EC issues in the household at the moment. Our dutch girl tested EXTREMELY high for it when taken in as an emergency...

Hey all, been a while since I've posted. Just wondering if anyone has any advice/experience to share. A little over a week ago Snowflake went in for what I thought would be a routine dental (at 6yrs old I thought she'd done well to not need one up until now). I got a bit of a shock when the vet...

Hey everyone, Just wondering what you made of this? There are some tiny.. I guess lumps-? on Cody's eye. They almost look like a pus-filled spot would on a human if that makes sense? I know I've seen something similar to the lower ones, I think it was on Willow and it never gave her any issues...

We just lost our little Biggles. Both sort of expected and not. On Sunday I noticed his abdomen was distended. We took him in yesterday and had him scanned but had him rerferred to the exotics specialist today. I wasn't expecting surgery to be done the same day but they did. Turned out he had a...

Hey everyone. Just looking for a bit of advice. Obviously we all know the situation at the moment. Our town hasn't had anything confirmed yet but we've had at 11 cases in the surrounding area. Whilst I'm not worried for myself my brother is on medication that intentionally suppresses his immune...

In all these years I've never met such an awful bun for eating bedding!! Some rabbits eat litter from time to time. I acceted that long ago. But this is getting out of hand! Harley is still suffering from severe head tilt and unable to use a litter tray due to balance/coodination issues. For...

I just had a devastating phone call from the vet. Harley's blood results came back. It doesn't seem he has EC after all. The blood results are pointing to lymphoma. He's booked to see the exotics vet on Friday again, but I don't know how we go forward from here, what chances he has etc. I know...
