Oh no! That's frustrating! Does it suggest it's travelled inwards?

I could feel a lump under her ear, so she went for a CT scan that showed a build up in both. They have to do a CT scan to confirm the extent of the infection, because it can often travel to the inner ear.

Ours has had two ear cleanings. She was fine after the first, just a little quieter after the vet stay/drugs. Back to herself in a few days. The second time, they created a little hole to allow the ear to drain itself, and she was a bit traumatised that time, because all she knows is that she...

I'm glad Cookie is well again 🙂 sometimes bunnies are funny like that, he maybe had a little wind that passed.

I use Back 2 nature. It's made from recycled paper, very absorbent, and scent/smell free :)

Thank-you, I'll get some of that. It's syringe fed stuff he needs.

Thank-you, I'll speak to them about getting something lined up. On the websites I've looked at, I can't see paracetamol, so is that maybe a children's over the counter one they've given? I does smell like Calpol...

Does anyone know much about ordering medication online? With Billy being on long term medication, I'm wondering about ordering full-size bottles online, rather than the decanted amounts the vet gives us. Does it need a prescription still?

It'd be best for a vet to have a look and prescribe a something to treat.

I'm very sorry for your loss :( I think your bunny might have been separated from his mum a little too soon. Generally they shouldn't be taken away until about 8 weeks. It's a bit of a stressor to have one bun in a cage, with the other free-roaming, so if you're looking to introduce another...

He has taken a treat from us, so he's doing a little better, about 4 hours after medication. With each "turn" he's been quite snatchy if I offer him mint/basil (often one but not the other, but switching between the two), and I don't know if that's relevant. I know mint is good for wind.

Any history of bladder sludge ? None, urine seemed fine (a little dark maybe) Was a urinalysis done as well as blood test? I don't think so, so will ask the vet if we should do something. What is his fecal poop like? Passing regularly, but a little small & dark still - hay intake could be...

Billy has gone off his food a few times recently. First time was 3 weeks ago, Friday. Belly tight but not bloated, some slowed gut sounds. He had cisaprid (7 days), emeprid (8 days) paracetamol (8.5 days) and arthrocam (metacam) (9 days). He got worse before getting better. Second bout was 5...

Thought I'd give some feedback on this. Billy has tolerated the electric grinder pretty well, he doesn't jump like you've touched him with a hot poker, so I can successfully get all nails in one go. It doesn't take much off at any given time though, so it's fine for little and often, not if you...

Yes, this is what I do at the moment, but he doesn't tolerate it anymore 🙂
