My 10 year old bunny went to the vet last week as he sneezed white mucus on me (and has had leaky eyes but everything was fine with them on x-rays and a CT scan earlier in 2023 so has had the tear ducts flushed since). His usual vet (rabbit specialist) wasn't in, so he will see her later this...

Fudge usually sees Molly Varga but unfortunately she’s not in right now. His appointment I wanted earlier in the first place (but she wasn’t in) was moved to Monday but I’m not sure if he’ll be able to wait til then (he needs his ears flushed as gets a wax build up) as it’s started to really...

I’m currently away on a long holiday and helped out in a rabbit rescue and am supposed to be doing again next Wednesday then fly home on Sunday (when I’ll see my own bunny Monday). These rabbits were abandoned and have breed. Some have coccidiosis, one has visible ear mites and there was a...

Has anyone used the Pet Remedy wipes for travel? I'm considering taking Fudge on holiday with me in the UK as I feel he'd be better with me considering all the meds he's on and syringing him water (to increase water intake), but the drive will be longer than he has been used to and he's not...

I took Fudge to my local vets yesterday as was concerned about a scabby lump on top Fudge's paw where it looked like he had lost some fur. Between the 2 end nails didn't look quite the same as the other paw. I delayed taking him for a few days after found it as the vets said they were only...

I'm exploring what I should be feeding Fudge now and the issue of pellets came up. Currently he's on Science Selective 4 years+, but I have some standard Science Selective too which I've been giving him this week to feed him up as he's lost weight. However it's main ingredient is alfalfa meal...

Fudge has been having small poops, on gut stimulant which hasn’t helped, although it hasn’t got any better. It’s worst in the morning and gets a bit better in the day. Very healthy appetite still, but the vet said he’s underweight, doesn’t seem to have a blockage. Teeth are fine. We had...

Fudge has always had issues with excess cecotropes. Rabbits have suggested taking him off pellets (then gradually reducing foods), Fibreplex and probiotics etc. Nothing really seems to help other than taking him back to just hay and gradually adding things back in. Although he has arthritis...

Fudge has sore hocks, the fur is thinned out (but thankfully some still covers, but there are patches with no fur underneath) and I have been treating them but the fur hasn't grown back yet. Utilising foam mats indoors which has worked, but outdoors I've found has become an issue. I have a...

Rabbit savvy vet has been furloughed til June. I think Fudge might need his ear flushed again and really anxious about who else to get to do it. My local vets were warning of death/head tilt etc. The rabbit specialist we have been seeing instead did it no drama. But now I’m really anxious...

I used to buy the sticks (pieces of apple tree etc) for Fudge to chew on from Pets At Home (Woodlands brand), but they don't seem to sell them anymore. Does anywhere know anywhere that sell alternatives please? Thanks

My rabbit went to a specialist with his ear and whilst under they did a CT scan found arthritis. So he's now on Loxicom twice a day to assist. I'm running out of meds and stupidly forgot to get some more when he was back at the vets, so have been phoning up and it turns out my vet has to...

Sorry wrong board!

Fudge has been having itchy ears/shaking his head symptoms since earlier this year. Assumed ear mites (it started when we had 2 rabbits, Coco has sadly now passed, but she had flakey white bits inside her ears), vet said it was ear mites. Treated with Xeno 450, seemed to get better, came back...

Not often my Fudge bunny will start scrabbling at me - what does this mean? So today I put some cushions on the floor so he could easily jump up to the sofa (he's nearly 6 years old and doesn't hop as high as he used to as much). So he hopped up, hopped on to my lap, I stroked him and then he...

We sadly lost our Coco bunny yesterday, needless to say we are devastated. The vets were confused about what was causing her urinary incontinence and she went into gut statis. She stopped eating Sunday and went to the vets first thing Monday and stayed til Tuesday evening when she came home as...

My female rabbit is trying out incurin for her urinary incontinence (the vets found her bladder is in the wrong place). I’m going to have to take her to the vet tomorrow as worried about small poops with fur in them (not joined). The problem tonight is she keeps attacking our other bunny...

Coco’s poops are quite a bit smaller than they usually are (about half to two thirds the size), on inspection whilst they aren’t strung together with hair, they do have fur inside the poops. Both of my buns have been moulting and she’s regularly grooming Fudge. I can’t see any signs of Statis...

My two mini lops (both 4 and a half years old) are starting to develop spurs on their back teeth, the vet doesn't want to put them under yet to do their teeth as not yet causing an issue. I'm keen to try and reduce the spurs naturally with their diet rather than put them under. Are there...

Hi, hoping someone can assist with a rabbit savvy vet in Wirral or the surrounding areas please? Since we've had Coco she's had issues wetting herself, the first year being the worst and now it happens around once a year. The vets have treated her on Panacur and Baytril and usually after 9...
