My bunny didn’t really shed this summer: anyone else had this experience?
Summer here is pretty much over and it never really got that hot for a sustained time. Plus my house is shaded by trees so stays cooler. The pic shows how much he shed today because we’re having a couple of Indian summer days but he had barely shed at all for the past couple weeks and even at the height of his shedding, it was only about twice as much hair as shown from peeing him for a couple minutes.
Also his fur has already started getting thicker again— is this preparation for winter?
Is he going to shed more before winter, or not?
If it matters, this is his first seasonal cycle change as an adult. He was born in July 2022.
RIP, my sweet baby girl
My Peanut, whom I have loved for the last 8 months has left me today. Her new mom went on vacation, and Peanut got ahold of the air conditioning cord, chewed through it and got electrocuted. I rehomed her while having her best interests at heart.. and I know now that was the wrong decision.
She was the sweetest, spunkiest, most gentle soul I have ever known. She had a hard life, but I find solace in thinking that the 7 months She spent with me were the best times of her life.
Even though she wasn't Technically mine anymore, I will always love her and miss her because she was and always will be mine.
Peanut, I'm so sorry this happened to you. You didn't deserve it. You deserved a happy, long life with me. I've failed you and I will live with that the rest of my life.
Lego, our 3 year old mini-lop is battling E. Cuniculi…
And we are keeping our fingers crossed that he will defeat this nasty
parasite...he is now on his fifth week of medication and has a good appetite
and seems alert, but the vet is concerned about his head tilt so we are
continuing the medication for at least another month… 💪
Eye Injury
Recently adopted a new bunny and the previous owners cat got to him before I was able to take him home. Swatted him across the face
and now one eye is swollen shut with pus (has a tear) and the other is barely open. The emergency vet gave eye drops and pain meds but is there anything I can do in the meantime?
He is sleeping in his litter box, I’m not sure if the trauma has forced him to stay in one spot but he won’t move and has peed himself but I don’t see poop.
He drank some water hours ago and has eaten bits of hay here and there but not much. I also got him to eat a little bit of banana. His breathing seems to have picked up too so I’m stressed.
New bunny owner unsure of what to do! I’d like him heal and be as comfortable as possible. Please help ◡̈
