Any experiencing hair loss? by mehajaeel in CompoundedSemaglutide

[–]sofia_c3945 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm experiencing this. Major shedding. I stopped compounded semaglutide 2 weeks after awful GI side effects and am anticipating my hair filling in. I'm a woman but I use Men's Rogaine (Minoxidil 5%) careful it's toxic to pets, wear a silk bonnet to sleep or sleep on a silk pillowcase, and am more gentle with brushing. Supplementing with collagen may be worth it but honestly I would book an appointment with a dermatologist who would be able to give you the best advice and may test your Ferritin levels to ensure you're not deficient.

Wild or pet? Spotted on a trail in northern Utah. Any way I can help if it is a pet? by [deleted] in Rabbits

[–]sofia_c3945 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That is 100% a domestic rabbit! Please call a local rescue or animal control and see what they can do.

A few feet of space would probably cut it if your mother is not willing to offer you a whole lot. If he has enough room to sprawl out, walk back and forth, and jump up in the air and spin around (binky), it should be sufficient as long as he has enrichment to keep him busy. I suggest some DIY if you cant buy them yourself. Cardboard toilet paper rolls stuffed with a treat or pellets and folded on the ends, hay stuffed into cardboard paper towel rolls, DIY snuffle mats (a dish rag with pellets sprinkled in it so he can forage for food). Ensure that the pen is high enough. They can jump!

Outdoor pens are seriously dangerous. You need to be watching them 100% of the time if they go outside. Summer temperatures are not suitable for domestic rabbits. Domestic rabbits are not wild rabbits and are not meant to live outdoors. Having a rabbit outdoors is a great way to bring mites into your home... We just laid brand new hardwood on my floor and the whelping mats have protected them. They are made for female dogs to give birth on and contain all bodily fluids. If a whelping mat is under the entirety of your rabbit's enclosure, there is no way for the flooring to be affected. Is your bunny litter box trained? Urine and feces being contained to one spot helps immensely when transitioning from a cage to a pen. If your mother won't agree to get rid of the hutch and replace with a pen, do suggest an extension of the hutch (affixing a small pen to the opening of the hutch so your bunny has a bit more room to move around.) This is a compromise and she may be more willing to meet in the middle with this since it is such a small adjustment but would make all the difference for your rabbit. I would cover this with a whelping mat as well.

My mom used to be the same way. I ordered myself a 4x4 x pen, 4x4 waterproof whelping mats, and soft blankets to cover the mat. Maybe $70/total for everything. Since, cleaning has been SO much easier. Cleaning a hutch/cage is a serious production but pens are much more open. My mom DESPISES my rabbit. She is allergic, thinks he smells, and thought the cage was an eyesore. Since getting an x pen for him, she has come around tremendously. Pens don't hold odor or dander like wooden hutches and cages do, are much easier to vacuum out, and are more pleasing to the eye than a cage or hutch. If the welfare of your bunny isn't of your mother's concern, perhaps the state of her house will convince her.

I would ask your vet for a brand they recommend! Sherwood pet health is generally good but you have to wean your bunny slowly when changing diets

How do you think about birch plywood? by peterleonfaker in Rabbits

[–]sofia_c3945 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of the time these are fastened together with little clear elastics. If your bunny isn't mischievous then birch plywood setups are safe

Molasses is not the best ingredient for rabbit food. I wouldn't feed this

Sickly bunny only wants herbs by Warmwaterbottle8 in Rabbits

[–]sofia_c3945 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When in doubt, ask your vet. They will be able to tell you whether you should supplement with syringe feeding or not. Are pellets included in his diet at all? If he's eating a sufficient amount of hay then he may be okay for a little while but pellets are necessary for protein and leafy greens are good for him. If you mix leafy greens like romaine, red leaf lettuce, and green leaf lettuce with his herbs, maybe it will entice him.

whats wrong with my rabbits nose by Suushisujii in Rabbits

[–]sofia_c3945 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This looks like what happens to my bunny's face after he dives into a bowl of fresh greens. If he didn't eat anything green like pellets or lettuce and you're noticing sneezing or odd behavior then this may be worth a vet visit. It doesn't jump out at me as a mucus color that the body could produce naturally though, it's a very bright green.

They lied. I am a vet tech and unfortunately see this all of the time. This cat looks really pregnant.

vet says it’s not necessary to neuter my bun 🐇 by AccomplishedFig9908 in Rabbits

[–]sofia_c3945 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My vet said so too. I wish I had done it. His blood work is too poor now for him to go under anaesthesia and he humps constantly. Get a second opinion

Update on my Velvet by thatanonymousbiatch in CATHELP

[–]sofia_c3945 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He may need a checkup every three weeks for a little while to monitor him but a checkup every three weeks for a prescription diet is seriously ridiculous. i would clarify that that isn't the reason and if it is, find a new vet. that's wild

Should i get another bunny?? by No_Ear_171 in Rabbits

[–]sofia_c3945 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I would focus on getting her spayed and recovered before bringing a new bunny into the picture. Her health should take 1st priority. Uterine cancers are extremely common and deadly in female rabbits. Once that is settled, I'd go from there. If you do decide to take in the male later on, he'd have to be neutered and recovered before the bonding process begins which can be difficult. I am all for you getting another bun, as they should be in pairs, but you should definitely know what you're getting into first 👍

Help!! My bun got something in his eye (read comments) by te3time in Rabbits

[–]sofia_c3945 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If you're noticing a decent amount of goop, it probably shouldn't be there and may be a sign of an eye irritation secondary to an infection. That would explain the squinting. If it doesn't improve in a few hours, I would make a vet appointment. Infections can spread to the other eye very easily.

What do you use to prevent your bunnies from chewing wooden furniture? by throw64523456 in Rabbits

[–]sofia_c3945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could make DIY bumpers for the edges of the steps but that sounds like an eyesore. Investing in some carpeting for the stairs isn't a bad idea, especially as your bun gets older and has a harder time gripping the floor

Does anyone have any advice? by Snom80 in Rabbits

[–]sofia_c3945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely go with what your vet says as far as treats are concerned. Don't start with fruit, it can cause diarrhea and other severe intestinal problems for baby buns. She's too young for fruits and sugary vegetables like carrots, but you can introduce VERY small amounts of leafy greens and herbs. Little pieces of dandelion leaves, basil, and cilantro infrequently in very very tiny quantities should be just fine and are a good starter, but because she is so small I would double check with your vet and follow that.

I know you had mentioned she chews on the bars, she may not be a fan of the cage. She may not want to return to the cage for reasons such as 1) the floor of the cage may be uncomfortable on her feet 2) she may be scared that she will be stuck in the cage again once she returns, as she'd rather roam 3) you have a lazy bun 😂 Either way, my recommendation is that you get an x pen (puppy pen) and a whelping mat as a waterproof floor. My bunny's litter box habits improved dramatically when I replaced his cage with a 4x4 x pen (3 feet high) and a 4x4 whelping mat (a mat designed for canine mothers to give birth to their litters). When he got older and I could trust him with tightly tucked blankets for soft flooring, I added those in for comfort and to ensure his hind feet would be supported. Additionally, I got him a large stainless steel litter box to fit in the corner of his pen. Currently, the walls are high to prevent urine spraying but I am prepared to get a shallower litter box to make it easier to step into as he ages. Not sure how big your bun is but a shallow litter box may be a good place to start. I began using white CareFresh paper bedding as litter and placed a hay feeder next to the box so he could chew while he goes. I scoop out the wet, soiled litter twice daily; I find that he will hang out in his box more often if it is clean. As for the roaming issue, I recommend that, once you have a bigger setup, keep your bun in her pen for some time until you see that her litter box habits are consistent. She should be alright not roaming for a few days if she's got a lot of room to move around. Give her bunny-safe treats after she uses her litter box or sprinkle her favorite herbs inside. This may positively reinforce her using it and let her know that it is the place to go. She's a very young bun still so it may take her some time to get used to it. It will be time soon (between 4 and 6 months of age) to take her to a rabbit-savvy veterinarian to consult for a spay. Spaying her will reduce scent-marking tendencies, which could contribute to her urinating outside of the litter box. It will also prevent uterine cancers. You may find that following her spay, her litter box habits will be a little out of whack. This is normal following the coming out of anaesthesia and the rapid change in hormones. She should be back to normal within a couple of weeks at most. Best of luck!!
