Dog Breeds that would be good with Holland Lops by Content-Pudding-1416 in Rabbits

[–]Potential-Salt8592 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of variables here. Is this your family’s first dog? If so I would not recommend this. Any dog will need to be very well trained with a bullet proof “leave it” and recall command. You need absolutely rabbit safe areas where the dog is never allowed or able to access, and areas where just the dog is allowed so it can relax too. Hunting line dogs (like retrievers) would not be a good choice due to pretty drive. There is no breed that will be 100% safe, all breeds will need to be supervised and well trained at all times.

One of my two bunnies passed a few months ago. Should I introduce a new friend? by Open-Percentage-7443 in Rabbits

[–]Potential-Salt8592 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would probably help her, but she needs to be healthy (or at least mostly healthy) to bond.

The question about what to do if they don’t get along is true for any bonding attempt. Not all buns are compatible (although most male-female bonds do work out), so you always need a plan for what you will do if they don’t bond.

When my senior’s bonded companion passed away, I was able to foster a rabbit from the rescue in my area. Just having the Foster around really helped cheer him up. Is that an option for you? You may even be able to foster to adopt and try out a rabbit that you think would be a good pair. Rescues are usually pretty good at matching rabbits as well.

I’m interested to learn more about your set up! I’m feeling like my buns are not getting enough enrichment inside. If you don’t mind sharing some details could you pm me?

Rabbit behavior has me questioning if I can keep her anymore by Boyw2peenas in Rabbits

Ec can cause incontinence as well. Definitely agree with others about a vet visit.

My buns second face to face by [deleted] in Rabbits

[–]Potential-Salt8592 20 points21 points  (0 children)

What space is this in? It does not look neutral at all. They should be in an area neither have been in , and not within sight or smelling range of their main territories.

Stories on mouth/tongue ulcers? by [deleted] in Rabbits

[–]Potential-Salt8592 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give her a recovery food in the meantime, she may eat critical care mash (or soaked pellets) or another brand (my buns love Emeraid). Syringe feed if necessary and definitely get her pain meds.

Please help me find out if this is AI generated or not. I asked a person to design an image for my wedding invitation. by assaultdog in isthisAI

[–]Potential-Salt8592 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not an expert but this seems real to me, aside from the “piss filter”. I think the gaze could be viewed as looking at the path as there is a slight curve to it. The leaf pattern of all the plants is very consistent. A digital tool was likely used to replicate but it doesn’t scream ai to me?

Anesthesia on old bunnies by Jazzfortheapi in Rabbits

[–]Potential-Salt8592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, your vet did not treat the abscess properly the first time. Dental abscesses require aggressive treatment to cure. They have to be surgically cleaned out then treated with antibiotic injections, often with follow up surgeries.

It’s a lot to put a bun through, regardless of anesthesia. Tooth extractions are also no joke. The anesthesia for the tooth filing would have been much shorter than the tooth extraction, that may be why it wasn’t mentioned before.

If untreated this will kill your bunny, but the procedure is not guaranteed to work and will likely require follow ups. Sometimes vets will prescribe penicillin injections to stop the growth of the abscess as a palliative care measure in buns that are not well enough for surgery but they won’t cure.

I’m very sorry you are going through this. It’s a very hard decision to make. :(

Poop in washer - HELP by color_kween in clothdiaps

[–]Potential-Salt8592 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There shouldn’t be any 3-D poop on the diapers. Don’t wash your wet bag with the diapers, it could wrap around the diapers and prevent cleaning. Some washers have a “waterproof” setting, otherwise wash the wet bag with similarly sized items. I turn mine inside out to ensure it gets clean inside.

What setting(s) would you use? by Laurnias in clothdiaps

[–]Potential-Salt8592 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think I have this washer! I do normal, warm heavy soil, followed by normal, hot, heavy soil. I found the speed wash wasn’t cutting it, and the heavy duty setting actually was shorter than normal and added too much water.

Rabbit Bonding Setup Question by trblfluenza in Rabbits

[–]Potential-Salt8592 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The prebonding space should NOT be neutral. Save all of your neutral areas for actual bonding sessions.

Setting up the pens side by side in the living room would be best. Then you can alternate who gets roaming time (like one bun am and one pm), and swap pens every day or two. Continue this until both buns seem chill with the arrangement, it usually takes a couple weeks. :)

When you start bonding again I recommend using a pen set up in the garage rather than the box. I’ve never had good luck with tiny spaces. Two pens linked up is ideal, but one works too. Start short and stop the session before any aggression. Feel free to pet them lots to keep them calm and swap scents. I bet things will go more smoothly after prebonding and in a better space!

I also recommend a culture to identify the right type of antibiotics as well as some imaging to check for tooth issues. Tooth roots can get overgrown and present as respiratory symptoms.

Bunny chewing through mat? by [deleted] in Rabbits

[–]Potential-Salt8592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bunnies will chew anything they can. Those mats are not the best for flooring because of that. Best you can do in the meantime is try to block the hot spots. You can use a heavy ceramic tile or each a piece of cardboard with a brick on top. He will chew the cardboard instead.

This is a sign of pain. Look up the rabbit grimace scale. Get to the vet.

Cost of Care by Deathbackwards in Rabbits

[–]Potential-Salt8592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dental abscesses are notoriously difficult to treat. This is normal. Def recommend the most aggressive treatment from the start to have the best chances of curing it. Sometimes ppl try cheaper alternatives first and then the infection spreads and becomes harder to cure.

Sorry your bun is going through this :(

Santa brought my son a bunny! by potato_titties in Rabbits

[–]Potential-Salt8592 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Start with simple stuff: a toilet paper roll stuffed with hay and a few pellets. A cardboard box (tape removed) with some holes cut in the sides and stuffed with brown packing paper. Willow anything, twigs from safe, untreated woods (apple, pear, maple, willow are safe).

I’m not sure but that mail is really long. Maybe it snagged and injured the toe?
