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...

Thanks all! This is my first year with animals and at times I feel like I've bitten off more than I can chew with the learning curve :shock: However y'all have been mighty helpful and I'm very thankful for other forums like this that provide information from experienced folk.

Foot stuck = toes and nails down in between the wire bottom. I had to pull pretty hard to get the foot stuck once I discovered that. All of my cages are from KWCages and have the babysafe flooring. Each rabbit is provided one of those Mighty Mats as well. These does were raised together...

To preface this, I have 10 chickens, 5 goats, 4 kittens and I had 7 rabbits all in a barn. The barn is sealed enough so the animals are sheltered from the wind and open enough to allow good ventilation. It's always 10-15 degrees warmer in the barn than it is outside. My rabbits are in...

Oh yes, the power of raw honey! I happen to have some of that on hand. Thank you so much! This is his second day with runny eyes, first with a little bit of gunk coming out. Yeah he's had a rough go thus far, he's in good spirits tho. Surprisingly after all the injections, pills given and...

Did the vet suspect Herps Virus at all? I have a rescued barn kitty who has herpes, he's been battling it on/off for 6 years now. L-lysine works AMAZING! You can get kitty l-lysine online in cat chews or just regular over-the-counter human stuff works peachy too. He gets goopy crusty eyes...
