Pet Forum / Mammals / Rabbits / August 2008Domino's first vet visit
Well this really isnt his first visit.. After all: his foster mother had him neutered ,but its the first with me. I didnt want to stress him. so i allowed him to go into the carrier by himself. aided with a teeny piece of banana. He was fine in the car. Its when they took him out of the carrier that he freaked out. The assistant placed him on the scale .. he didnt like that.. We ended up weighing the carrier, then putting him inside the carrier and weighing that. He got his nails clipped. and a good examination.. He is in good health. He weighs 3.3kg... the vet said he should weigh a little less.. ?? i dont know how much he is suppose to weigh. When we got home he got his morning salad.. and fell asleep under my bed after. what a sweetie!!! thanks, marylee Nose nudges from all the boys! How much does he weigh in pounds?

By the way, my vet says to only watch for sudden changes in weight and that a stable weight is key. > Prof: Wow Matt! That's some rabbit! What do you feed him?! > Matt: Anything he wants!!!

But about the carrier part, do you have one that has the opening in the top with a latch. That is the only way I can get my two out.

Carla Liza and Jodie. yes Carla, I do have the kind of carrier that opens both ways but that wasn't the problem. When they went to put him on the scale he freaked out. It scared him because it was moving a bit and it was cold and slippery under his feet. I should have realized that!!!! That's why we decided to weigh him in his carrier so as not to stress him any further. He did very well with the exam although, he wasn't happy about it, LOL. Arlette, I limit his pellets to one cup a day. The oxbow pellets. No treats. He gets a salad in the morning and at night and thank goodness he loves his hay. As far as excercise, he races around the house; the bunny 500. He is very active. I had completely forgotten how much energy a young bun has!!! He is also a big flirt! When I get home from work in the morning and take the gate down from our bedroom, he binkys and shakes his ears at me. What a cutie!!! Thanks everyone!! Marylee More pics at bunspace( domino, Seekonk, ma.) Marylee Do not worry about the belly! A healthy rabbit has a round belly. That's the first thing my vet always checks. When my boys get a check up Dr. Saver says, "Good! He has a full belly". Their bacterial digestive system requires that their bellies are always full. (I bet you're jealous LOL) Professor, The Jump, Zolo, Wizard, & Magic Brenda >On Aug 28, 12:51 pm, Bunny of Bunny Hollow <no-valid-email- >a...@bunnyhollow.org> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 81 lines] >ML > > Do not worry about the belly!

LOL ML ml, one cup of pellets a day is way too much!!!! a serving si 1/4 per five pounds.. no more. the rest needs to be hay etc... that could be the problem. Get him more greens instead.

Ok thank you very much... tell me though.. what kind of greens do you guys give to your buns..out of curiosity.. i give parsley and romaine lettuce.. i tried broccoli but he doesnt like that.. one carrot a day cut in half.. half in morning half in evening. A small piece of banana also cut in half.. as i do with the carrot.and a couple of very small bite size pieces of apple... i have a many types of hay... If his pellet bowl is empty he will pick it up and throw it around and make noise..., but i will give him more greens now. thank you guys very much. love, marylee and domino Dandelion! The best! Professor, The Jump, Zolo, Wizard, & Magic Brenda > > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >love, marylee and domino > yes, also try to cut down the sweet fruit if rabbit is abit over weighted, banana and apple etc. DooBDoo liked to throw around the pellet bowl to ask for mroe when she was baby. If my bf spoiled her for 1 time, she would sit and wait for more pellets for hours..... not eating any hay and wait...smart DoobDoo... now she knows, 2 spoons only, no more...then she now will go to find the hay and some vegies.. carrot, vet told me two to four tiny fingers size each week is enough, (depends on size of the bun from 2-5 pounds, for example only) too much carotene is not so good to a rabbit.

Hershey is deathly afraid of going to the vets and that dreaded table. Marylee as far as pellets go, I feed everybun but Louise 1/4 cup a day and Louise gets 1/2 since she is about 12-14 pounds. Hershey slimmed down nicely when I started to ration his pellets. He was a fat rexy bun and now looks like he went on Jenny Craig.
