Hi, I Need Some Tips On My Situation With My Bunny So It Would Be…

Hi, I need some tips on my situation with my bunny so it would be great if you wouldn’t mind helping me out. My bunny is an adult medium male Brown HollandLop, I had had him since he was very little. I decided to have him free ranged around my garden both day and night because he would be very aggressive and stressed out if I caged him even though his cage is very big ( 3 meters long, 2 meters tall and 2 meters wide). I have never seen any other predators except stray cats, I wouldn’t worry about the cats that much because my rabbits are great friends with my dog and he would scare away the cats and at night my bunny would choose to go sleep in my garage which is right next to one of my families room so if anything bad happens we would hear it. I don’t know if this is safe but he seems very happy to be free ranged and have this cage open so he can go in for pellets and veggies. Please give me your opinion on what I should do with my situation.

    your area is completely without birds of prey?  that’s surprising.  and you can’t count on predators behaving around prey.  your dog is also a predator.  he may be trained to leave the rabbit alone, but that doesn’t mean you should leave them together unsupervised.

    is your rabbit not used to being handled?  are you rough when putting him in the cage?

    My rabbit is totally used to being handled but after I have him run around during the day he would have a really hard time going back in. And I live in Thailand so there are no foxes etc. My dog isn’t really a concern to me because he have been with my rabbit since they are very little but I do supervise my dog while he is outside with the bunny. I rabbit is very bonded to me so if I go outside to would come to me.

    I let my rabbits run around the yard but only when I can supervise them. Your rabbit might end up wandering too far or a predator could find him, even though he doesn’t want to go in the cage, it’s whats best for his safety. How big is your cage?

Dog Vomiting. They Did Blood Work, Abdominal X Rays And Radiographs But Found Nothing Abnormal…

dog vomiting. they did blood work, abdominal x rays and radiographs but found nothing abnormal. His stomach became bloated and he wouldn’t eat much. We have him on a bland diet but it’s a struggle. He is still drinking water, hasn’t vomited and has only pooped once per day since. He’s very lathargic, doesn’t want to go on walks and acts very tired. His breathing also became heavier and the vet said they weren’t sure what it could be but they could do another x Ray to see. Should I bother? Is a chest X-ray or a sonogram worth doing? I’ve been feeding him pumpkin, chicken and rice and the vet prescribed I/d digestive care dog food but he won’t touch that.

    Your dog is in distress and does need help by getting figured out what’s going on and getting it addressed. Since your vet seems to be at a loss, I’d likely seek a second opinion from another vet.

My 6 Month Old Malamute Broke Out In A Rash A Few Weeks Ago And…

My 6 month old malamute broke out in a rash a few weeks ago and is now losing hair and itching a lot. Does anyone have any idea on what it can be? Or any remedies? I have low income so going to the vet is a last resort.

    He’s well taken care of. He’s also up to date on all his shots. He’s my baby. The only reason I’m saying the vet is a last resort is because I’m only 18 and I lost my car. I’m in the process of getting another one. If anyone has any information that can help please do.

  2. Anonymous

    without a cause for the rash, no one can really give you a cure.  you could try a small dose of benadryl (google the dosage), but you’d need to know what caused it to prevent it from returning.

Hi Everybody!
Well My Pup Is Going On Five Months Now, He’s Been Desexed And Had…

Hi everybody!
Well my pup is going on five months now, he’s been desexed and had all his needles ect. and he’s a healthy happy boy. However, he has always been an inside dog due to the fact when he was a little guy he was very unwell. We are now moving to a bigger house with a large yard (he’s a cattle dog) and we are hoping for him to become an outside dog. However the problem is we’re having trouble convincing him to be an outside dog 😉
Hes currently being put in the garage with his bed, toys and clothing of ours, we have a clock in there and he has his own radio to keep him company. However, for the last two weeks he will not stop crying, whining, howling, batting at the door loudly and barking. Fortunately, he cries a bit when we put him in at night, and mainly sleeps through the night but as soon as he hears the birds which is like (3 am or 4 am) he won’t stop carrying on from then.
Its driving us crazy, we aren’t getting any sleep and neither is he. It makes us much less approachable in the morning when we get him out. We have started leaving him in there when we go to university and the shops during the day and he continues to do the same thing. We have tried everything, we have ignored him and turned to some smacks on the bottom but nothing is working!
Please if you have any advice, we are willing to try anything!
Thanks!

    honestly, he wants to be with his family…unless you have some pressing NEED for him to be outside, let him stay in.  in fact, i’d crate him away from windows and give him some sort of radio in the room so he doesn’t hear the birds.

    as for the rest of his carrying on…he sounds BORED.  what do you do with him when you’re home?  are you actively training him?  if not, you need to start.  

  2. Linda Bradley

    Laura and Dr Krista are correct – he wants to be with his family!  A 5-month old puppy cannot entertain himself and neither can an adult dog without a job.  Show him that outside is a wonderful, fun place to be by being out there with him and playing games.  End the game before he is bored with it and then go inside.  Once he is an adult, will he have cattle to herd?  If not, he can get into all sorts of trouble outside alone out of boredom.  

    Please stop smacking him!  He won’t understand why you are hitting him.  He needs to be shown how you want him to behave and it will take  dedicated work on your part.  Find out how long he can stay in his kennel without starting to whine, even if it is just 30 seconds.  Put him in his kennel, go out of sight and return before he starts to whine.  They praise, praise, praise!  Have a party – what a good, smart boy you are!  Continue to do this, gradually extending the separation time.

Both of my cats have been experiencing diarrhea. The older one has yellow diarrhea and the kitten has trouble getting to the bathroom on time. I’m not sure if it’s because of the food or because they are in contact with other outside cats.

    They are also still very active and show no signs of being sick. I feed and water them when ever I see that there bowl is running low

  2. Alexandra Holley

    My cats were strays so they used to be outside. I just rescued my kitten recently so my cat might have gotten something from him. I don’t think I’ll be able to afford a vet because I don’t have a job. But I’ll try to feed them healthier cat food and if that doesn’t help all I can do is try to find them a home that can provide for them.
