He acts like a normal six week old puppy other than the red poop. He plays a lot while awake and sleeps quite a bit throughout the day and drinks plenty of water.

a lot harder for her to move in her cage and I and afraid that she won’t be able to move to her water and food dishes. It was already hard for her to move around but now it is too much for her I feel. I do not want to euthanize he and take away her pain and suffering but if this continues and she gets worse I feel I may have to to which would suck because she is a happy little rabbit. The thing that got me most worries is yesterday morning I heard her in her cage and it sounded like she was stuck so I went to check on her and she enough she was but when I went to check on her she was making noises, thrusting her head back and fourth to each side and grinding her teeth. She has never done this before so when she started doing this I ran over to my next door neighbors house who knows somethings about rabbits because he used to raise a lot of rabbits. He ended up saying that he had no idea what was wrong which didn’t help me at all and now i’m still worried because I don’t want to take her to the vet because I am afraid they will tell me to put her to sleep. If you know what to do or have advise please help me because I am scared and have no idea what to do! 🙁

Anonymous if your rabbit is in pain, ignoring her obvious need for a vet is neglect, and can be considered criminal neglect depending on the laws in your area.
i’m sorry, but this is the truth. please take your rabbit to the vet.
-
Anna Kurzer no I’m not neglecting her its just the way she was born. She can’t help it and how do I know if she’s in pain or not?

Anonymous prey animals like rabbits, guinea pigs, and rodents will often NOT show pain until they’re near death.

Anna Kurzer okay thanks…

Anonymous (in other words, take your rabbit to the vet and get that leg looked at. PLEASE.)

Anna Kurzer i will for sure thank you 😉

Anonymous i would be worried about fighting between them. are the others male? can you house him separately?
-
Brendon Cheong Vinnten Yes, the other are male. I have separated them earlier. But it’s still the same , what should I do 🙁
-
Anonymous well, i’m not a vet, but i’d be worried about serious injuries. hamsters should never be housed together – they’re a solitary species – and when house together will often fight until one is dead.
i tried twce today and the first time i understood cause it was drizzling and he doesn’t like to get wet anymore, but the second time it clears up kinda cloudy but good and he refused to go down the stoop steps and when he finally did he didn’t want to walk just stand there but when i went to sit down he decided to sit next to me and enjoy the weather and get some good love and petting, i know its probably just him wanting more time with me and he does like to enjoy weather sometimes stopping on walks for along time but today was odd he just refused and when i finally said lets go upstairs he rushed ( well as best as he could) to go back up, i know lots of people are home today and he loves to be home with everyone but i was worried and didn’t understand why he wouldn’t want to walk he’s decided on his usual indoor potty today

Dawn Ferara, DVM I would take him to the vet to be sure everything else is okay. Likely he has pain secondary to arthritis which is the reason he has slowed down. Your vet can evaluate this and prescribe therapies that can help.

Angelica Sori So until I can get him to a vet woukd it be wise to let him just lay in his cushioned bed to rest and ease some pain and not bother him ? I’m also giveinf him a hip and joint treat supplement I’m wondering if that helps any for now.
When she does eat spits a tiny bit of food out. Plays & does most things like before just slower

Dawn Ferara, DVM Not knowing whats wrong it’s impossible to tell.

Anonymous if she has excessive eye discharge, she may have a scratch on the eye or a foreign body in her eye. please get her to the vet for an eye exam.

Wendy Ylen Any medicine she needs can only come from a veterinarian anyway, so she definitely needs to be seen sooner than later.

Dawn Ferara, DVM Honestly the second pic I thought was female, but the picture is blurry. Go for a gender neutral name like Morgan!!

Cherish Yuppa When should I upload a new pic for you to see lol? My fur ball will be 2 weeks tomorrow

Cherish Yuppa When would be better to tell?my fur ball is two weeks tomorrow
my dog is sick,she will not eat nothing. I gave her a parvo shot and a caseworker and now she keep throwing. up what should. I do
yes, the dyes in lower end dog food like kibbles and bits will affect stool color.
please don’t feed a medium breed dog puppy food for small breeds. the nutrient amounts are incorrect for your puppy and can cause health problems. try to feed something that has no corn and has meat for the first two or three ingredients.
i would also wonder why you have a puppy 2 weeks early. puppies should not leave their mother and littermates prior to 8 weeks of age. is there any way you can take your puppy back to the breeder for 2 more weeks?
The food was just a quick fix the store I had to go to only had adult food no puppy food i figured small breed would work for a couple days because he is young until I was able to get a different brand. I didn’t know if I should feed him the adult stuff yet because he’s so small. Is there a specific brand you would recommend?
i am a big time fan of Wellness CORE. you’ll feed a LOT less of it than you will kibbles and bits because it’s very nutrient dense.
i’m still worried about her age. have you ever had an underage puppy like this before? is there a reason you brought her home 2 weeks early? depending on where you live, this is a crime…please report the person who sold her to you.
