Pet Forum / Mammals / Rabbits / July 2006

Last night...pretty much the whole night, it pour torrentially and thundered
and lighteninged (some word...LOL) I've NEVER seen thunder and lightening go
on for so LONG!! I'm sure we almost needed an ark with all the rain. It has
been dry here, so we needed it and I'm sure that will ...

After I posted early this morning, I couldn't sleep.  I kept thinking about
the idea that it was pasturella, and that if we could just get the
infection under control, we could save her.
So, I packed her up at 2 AM, and had Andy join me (to keep me awake and

Is leather bad for bunnies?  There are some bird toys I've been looking
at for Nibbler, but some of them have strips or chunks of leather.  Now,
I happen to know Nibbler *likes* leather - I stupidly left a pair of
jeans on the floor once and he ate the leather patch off it - but is

Dear folks;
My bambino Neutrino is shivering, he keeps laying uncomfortably on his
belly, he's breathing hard, and he keeps wanting to hide.  I think he has
bloat.  The problem is that I live in a tiny hamlet so everything's closed,

The nicest thing that happens to you all day is to find a big pile of
fresh poop in the litterbox.

I haven't been around here for almost a year, but stumbled across this

Enjoy!

and Pops skip round the garden so im presuming she's doing ok!
Gotta take Benny in for the snip next week :o( Poor little baby!

I'm afraid that she's dying, actually.  Took her to the emergency vet this
afternoon because she was sleeping all sprawled out in the front, and very
lethargic.  He took X-rays, and said there's no blockage, and the stomach
is empty (except for the gas).  

reading msgs but have several burning questions
I have a bun (6 year old buck, 2,5kg) recently diagnosed with ossifying
fibrosarcoma in the lefthand lower jaw half way between incisors and
articulation of the jaw with skull. It's about the size of a small half

She's really terrorizing Oreo today, I'm starting to worry. When I put
new hay in their cage Flopsie wouldn't let Oreo in to get any. When he
tried she attacked him, making very weird noises I haven't heard
before.

I'm looking for some advice.  I had a rabbit years ago when I lived at home,
and I loved him.  Unfortunately he had to be put to sleep in the end,
because he had absceses under his teath, and I think it eventually went into
his jaw bone.  He was a good old age anyway.

What does alt mean? I know this is not about rabbits, but I was
wondering what alt meant.

Gosh knows, we need some.
Took the almost 7-year-old girl to White Plains to see the good Dr.
Stanzione.
He pronounced her in excellent health, despite her persistent sinus

I went downstairs this morning and both my buns were acting a little
off. They hadn't eaten any of their pellets from the night before, they
didn't want their morning blueberries. Tabitha had a dried cecal stuck
in the fur on her back and was thumping around the cage and didn't

Ohhh it is a long time since I have had a bunny do this...
this is the "you must not be behind me" game.
As you walk across the room, Kali will dive bomb at your feet, the
object seems to be for her to get her feet on top of yours. This is the
