Unbearable guilt :-(

That was my first thought when reading this update. He can probably tell Bobby's a boy and is being dominant as a result. Once he's neutered, it will take approx 6-8 weeks for the hormones to die down and then he should be much less dominant.

Glad he's felling better though!

Hi all,

Just a little update on Diesel. He is doing really well, he is off the painkillers and is eating, almost, normally again. He is still be fussy with his hay but is gradually eating it more and more.

He is charging around and binkying again now which is great. He has a check up on the 11th with a view to removing the wire 2 weeks after that.

I have just one question though, over the last few days he has become quite aggressive with my dog Bobby. He keeps charging at him quite forcefully and spraying him. Bobby just moves away with his tail between his legs, but Diesel will follow him. It's got to the point where Bobby wont go near him at all now. He was booked in to be neutered the week of his accident but obviously this was postponed and he will now be neutered at the same time that the wire is taken out. Do you think this behavior will stop once he is neutered? Poor Bobby is a bit of a sap and he looks so sad when I let Diesel out his cage now! x

Aww bless....glad to hear Diesel is doing well....poor Bobby though, maybe it is his hormones or maybe because he's been unwell (and bunnies being prey animals) he's just being over defensive ? hope it all settled once he's 'done' and he's feeling 100% again

I have checking diesels thread for an update, glad its good news :thumb: sounds like he is doing well.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's spraying bobby because of hormones. I had a male bun that used to spray me whenever I went near. When he was neutered that stopped & he was more cuddly with me

Hope someone more expert replies to your question

Hi everyone,

I took diesel to the vets this morning for his scheduled check up and he's doing great. He's put on weight and all things are looking good. The site of where the wire is is slightly inflamed so we are continuing with the antibiotics. He's scheduled in for the 29th to have the wire removed and to be castrated at the same time.

The vet did say that although his front teeth are aligned they are aligned diagonally so he is concerned that they will be a problem if they continue to grow this way. He did warn me that there was a possibility if teeth issues.

He said for me to monitor them until his appointment and he will check thoroughly when he is under anaesthetic and will decide whether the best course of action is to remove them. How do bunnies do without them? Will he be ok? X

Glad to hear he is doing so well

As to the front teeth, I understand they can cope quite well although diet has to be manipulated accordingly. I've thankfully never had a bun with teeth problems so I've no first hand knowledge.
