  • Please Note - Medical Advice

    Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.

    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

    We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.

    Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

Moulting ahoy!

May Bertie continue to do well during his moult.
I have been trying to get my Madelyn to drink more. When she would not cooperate during a recent stasis scare, I gave her sub Q fluids. After getting fluids, she refused to drink anything for over 24 hours. I have also given her wet greens. Of course, she waits until the excess water dries from her greens before she eats them. These bunnies can be so smart.

Bertie will eat wet greens but this gives him matted chin fur as he gobbles at high speed!
 
I think we are into the final stages of this moult. He continues to eat well, resist brushing and produce some interesting moult-enhanced poos!
