Thanks! The gasping one ended up dying this evening. The other one I decided to set outside in woody area in an enclosed covered rabbit pen I have. It didn't move for a few hours, but when I checked on it earlier this evening it was back to it's normal self. I let it go and wished it luck :)...

First off I'll start this post off by saying yes I totally understand that it's an uphill battle trying to save wild baby bunnies because they're so stinkin' high strung and are prone to bloat and all sorts of other issues that domesticated animals are not subject to. With that said, I could...

Sweet, thanks! I thought that was the case (eating young) but I didn't want to chance it :) I'll put them back with Clover & see how she does.

I have 2 does who have birth yesterday: Vember is a Dutch bunny, she had 6 kits & is doing awesome Clover had 5 kits (maybe more) but she ate the legs off two of them. I know that I can't leave her kits with her but can I put her kits with Vember's kits or am I stuck with hand feeding Clover's...

If you're to do aspirin, would it make sense to do baby aspirin instead? idk. Lavender calms animals and it's also a natural pain reliever. If you splint the toe, you could apply some diluted lavender on it....1oz coconut oil and 5-10 drops lav. Also for the buck that freaks out. perhaps...

Fennel seed is great to have around. I've used it for goats to combat their bloat as well instead of tubing them. I keep capsules around for larger animals and humans. I buy them off Amazon: http://amzn.to/2hcEftJ This was my first time ever having bloat with a bunny.

Oh good call on changing the title :) Y'all are so very welcome! I too am anti-pharma. hehe

Thanks! I'm so glad she's back to normal now. Thank god for herbs!

Hi All! First of all, thank you so much for this forum! I've learned so much! Last night when my daughter and I went to let out all of our animals in from the pasture we noticed our little female Mini Lop wasn't acting like herself. Upon further evaluation, we could tell she was severely...

Tricky but vinegar applied directly to the tick a couple times a day for a few days will get them gone. It dried them out and they also hate the smell.

2 weeks in and he's finally getting back up on his hind legs. He's weak still but getting stronger each day :) This injury was kind of a blessing in disguise too, as he was very shy and jumpy around us. Now he comes straight to the door looking for some love. Thank you so very much for...

He's trying really hard to get up and put weight on his rear legs. I ended up putting a board in the middle of his cage to confine him to one area and I put his "mat" over there too (those plastic mats folks put in wire cages for their bunnies to rest on). His poop is solid and he cleaned...

Thanks for the info :) he does pull back when touching between the toes and he's trying to move his legs. I basically have him in the corner with lots of hay and water all within reach so he doesn't have to move. :). I gave him oats last night and the runs were gone within an hour. I sure...

I have a one year old male NZ bunny who as of today is not moving his back legs much, has the runs, but is eating and drinking water. He moves his back legs a little bit but he doesn't support his weight on them, he has the runs...it was all over his rear/feet/underside so I cleaned him. I'm...

I have two Does 100% sure pregnant and ready to pop in the near future. Their bags are starting to slowly show more and more, which from what I understand is indicative of birthing within the next 2-3 weeks, give or take. I'm checking for the tail ligaments later today to see if I can locate...
