Hi there Today has been just awful. This morning I had to take two buns to the vets and not only did I have to make the sad decision to say a final farewell to my forum namesake Squiffy (a not-so-mini lop, who at 11 yrs old had a fantastic innings despite a lifetime of peculiar congenital...

Thank you Parsnipbun, I'll go check my mail :-) Will keep you posted xxx

This is something that concerns me too for ANY animal owners who smoke in the room they share with rabbits, cats, dogs and other critters. It's like people now know they shouldn't do that with babies or children (or other adults for that matter), so why is it different for animals?? It is an...

Well, I assumed it was 'season' related, but am alarmed now as I am sure my vet mentioned something about blood in urine possibly being related to it!? Aarghhh not very comforting to think maybe the vet doesn't know rabbits as well as one would hope or expect?? I think the vet mentioned that a...

I honestly have no clue if she has any dutch in her I'm afriad. She's pretty big for a dwarf lop I think, but no other clues to her heritage :/ Certainly the surface of Squiffy's eye at the moment and most other times has looked most like Jane's first post...

Sending some twitchy-nosed magic for Casper :) xxx

Hmm, well Munchkin is still looking better, has been eating a bit more and pooing a bit better (although they are small & hard so trying to get her to eat more hay/grass). However this morning, thinking perhaps it was time to go back to the bunny shed for a daytime 'visit', I put Munchkin on...

Thanks Parsnipbun - have sent you a PM :)

Wow, that's really helpful thank you! If it were EC would it or should it have responded to Panacur? I haven't Panacur'd or Myxo'd Squiffy for a while since she's been on other meds and they said until she's well this may compromise her health or its effect (can't remember which, possibly...

Thanks Jane and Lobo for your kind responses. My little Munch has finally had a poop (well several actually now!) and is bouncing around as I type! OMG I'm so relieved (as is she, teehee). Honestly though, thank you so much for your helpful advice and support today. I have been a bit of a mess...

Ooo it certainly looks like it could be, though the name sounds familiar and may have been mentioned / treated for such already? I don't really understand much of the medical/veterinary terminology used on the page, but I will forward that link to my vet to see if it's been considered - or worth...

Hi All My bunny Squiffy has had an eye problem since Nov 09 - I have paid over £300 so far in numerous vets appointments and unsuccesful treatments. You name it they've tried it including baytril, Ceporex inj, Gentcin, Tiacil, Fucithalmic drops, Cyclosporin, crystapen, ...some did help a bit...

Thank you Jane, that's really helpful xx (\__/) (>’.’<) (")_(")

Thank you for your quick response Jane, you are like a guardian angel of the bunnies and for this board! Good to know one dose of Rimadyl shouldn't be a problem. Could her quietness be because she's a bit spaced out from the painkillers and stress/poking from a vet visit? I'll keep her warm, but...

Hi there, I took my little bunny Munchkin to the vet today as she's not been eating much (cursary nibbles) and hasn't been pooing. On Monday night (last night) I brought her indoors as she'd spent much of Monday huddled in the bunny shed shivering. Bringing her in perked her up loads and she's...

Took Squiffy back to vets today - saw a different vet. He confirmed it is pasteurella infection of the tear duct, resulting in necrosis of the tissue (white 'ulcer' looking thing was dead tissue). He administered a local anaesthetic and took her out the back to flush her tear duct and scrape...

I'll certainly take your suggestion into consideration, thank you :) I've had a look online and not seen anything that looks like the thing she has. It's more like the kind of mouth ulcer type thing us humans get, only white. I'll try and post up a pic later, which should help...

Hi all Just wondering if anyone has come across this... One of my buns has a white sore inside her right second eyelid which is producing a small amount of very sticky white goo. I took her to the vets last week and was prescribed Baytril and some antibiotic eye drops. I've finished the course...

Hi again OK so it's now 2 days since the slip up and my bunny seems absolutely fine - obviously this is FANTASITC news for me (and her) but also i think this is really useful info for all you guys to know just in case. Despite the fact that I'm an experienced rabbit keeper, this was very much...

Hi all Just started a new tube of Panacur and stupidly forgot to wind down the dosing measure and one of my buns just got nearly a full tube!!! Nightmare! :shock: I've spoken to the vets (who hadn't had a case of this) who have contaced the poisons department. They have only heard of 3...
