Just quickly googled uvitis and it says it can be caused by pasturella as well. Vet suspected he has this and he is particularly snotty having a flare up at the moment!

Thanks :) He is on antibiotic drops at the moment so maybe best not to treat the EC until this course has finished? The vet last week mentioned eye pressure as there was a slight bulge in his eye but didn’t check it as wanted to see if it would improve first. When I went yesterday his eye was...

Thank you He last had an infection in his eye 2 years ago and it wasn’t picked up then. He hardly has to go to the vets usually, just for his vaccinations. He was last there last June and they usually check his eyes and didn’t point anything out then. I’m not sure how thoroughly they actually...

Yes it did look fairly similar to this but more pink and not quite as obvious as it was less white. He has a cateract covering just about the whole eye and at the time it developed he was diagnosed with having EC that caused it. His whole eye filled with blood. The vet said it was a rupture in...

Sorry to hear your bunny was put to sleep. I have recently been in a similar situation where I had to put one of a pair to sleep the the surviving bunny was depressed and off his food for a while. He was off his food for around 2 weeks but could be tempted by a bit of carrot (his favorite) and...

Hi! My poor bunnies aren’t having much luck this year :( we lost Betsy in January and now Bertie is poorly. Bertie has a small ulcer on his eye. I have been treating this for 10 days and it’s getting much better. It is now very small and almost healed. I have just got back from a vet check up...

Thank you ☺️ Yes I wonder if it could be worse at the moment due to the moult. He has extremely fine fur which doesn’t help. I’ve never had another rabbit with fur like his. The underfur is so fine it gets everywhere! I give him a comb when it gets bad and so much comes out! I’m sure the fur...

I have a 11 (possibly older) bunny, Bertie. I’ve had him just over 10 years and he has always been snuffly on and off since I got him. Sometimes he is fine, sometimes he is bad. At the moment he is particularly bad! I have mentioned it to vets over the years, tried antibiotics occasionally but...

Sorry to hear about Archie, Moonstone, but it’s great that Millie is doing well. Bertie has never been particularly affectionate. He will tolerate sitting on a knee and being stroked or groomed but that’s about it! I wonder if he will change now he is on his own. After a rethink I really...

He is pooing. As he has always lived as a pair I’m not actually sure how much is normal for him on his own but there are poos. He had eaten all his veg and pellets by morning so I’m hoping that means he is ok.

Poor Bertie seems to be a bit off his food :( I have given him kale in the hope that tempts him. He hopped into his bed when I put it in just now. He usually throws himself on veg. I will check on him later to see if he has had any. He isn’t totally refusing food. He has been on the grass today...

Thanks for your replies. Although old he isn’t frail and has a lovely thick coat and he is still quite muscular, so I’m hoping as long as it doesn’t freeze too much he will be ok outside. I’ll have to buy him a new heated pad as he chewed his last one! He is a grumpy old boy so might not do too...

I have posted on here previously about my rabbit Betsy who has had abscesses and has a tumour. I took her to the vets today. Her abcess was back and the vet saw maggots in the drainage hole! I had totally missed them as they were inside her. Her tumour on her stomach was also the size of an...

I have posted about Betsy’s abscesses. She had a check up at the vets today. Abscesses are all clear and her fur is growing back. She is now cleaning herself but she has skin folds that I never noticed (I have to do fairly quick cleans as she is not happy if I wipe her) so she had a thorough...

Thanks for your reply. They are both fairly old as Betsy will be 9 in august. Maybe long term dosage is a lower dose? I’ll definitely be questioning the vet more on Monday.

Bertie went to the vets for his vacs yesterday. All is good with Bertie. Vet asked how he was moving about. He is over 10 (not sure of his exact age but I’ve had him 9.5 years and I was told he was 1 when I got him). He moved about fine but is a bit slow to get going on colder mornings. Vet said...

Thank you :) He looks like a much more well behaved bunny than Betsy. I’ve used a similar method for Bertie as he will take a syringe. I’ve found only the bunny burrito works for Betsy but it’s her teeth that get in the way! She just tries to grab the syringe and pull it away or eat the towel...

We have sent traps too. Similar to what you have suggested, we balanced canes and a rake on possible entry points that would fall down and make a noise if disturbed. No signs since but I think I need a camera outside. We have always done similar. Rabbits out in the day, locked in at dusk...

Hi! I’ve posted before about betsy and her abscesses. Abscess seems to be greatly improved, she went to the vets last week for more meds. As there is still swelling the vet gave us an additional 21 days of medicine to try and clear as much as possible as this is the second abscess in the same...

I just had to post this update. Betsy, a usually nervous bunny that isn’t keen on being handled, seems to like baths! I’ve been putting her bottom in a washing up bowl of warm water and holding her front legs out. Letting her sit in for 5 minutes or so and then giving her a wipe to loosen the...
