I would definitely seek a second opinion or a veterinary internist.
Hi, I have a mini lop that is 8 weeks old. Two days ago I noticed that he’s lost all his hair around his neck. Is this normal?

She is quidding when she eats (even mushy food) and even when she’s not eating, so looks like she has something wrong with her mouth. We thought it was un chewed food that made her sick, but even feeding other food like pate cat food that’s mush (similar to mince fish-no chunks) still makes her sick. she’s painfully thin and really not her self. its like she’s got a stomach problem and a mouth/teeth/throat problem.
This little furr ball DOES NOT like being violated! Lol. His fur has grown so much just in the last few days that it almost covers the area completely when dry so… here’s the best I could get for today! Im still thinking a BOY, but after doing some research online it does seem close to the bottom, sooo.. idk. Would girl parts have extra baggage that would appear kinda empty sack like? Thats the only reason I say boy bc you can see the grey area between the pee hole and bottom and idk. Opinions or we still need more pics??
He, She, or It is doing absolutely amazing! We will be two weeks tomorrow. Just wanted to thank everyone for their encouragement and help along this difficult, yet very rewarding journey this little furr ball has taken me on since he magically appeared on my porch just hours old! He now has his eyes fully opened, loves cuddles, is trying to walk around, and is growing bigger, stronger, and smarter every day! Anyone who wishes to help more or even follow him more closely is more than welcome to email me at cherish.yuppa3@gmail.com or look me up on instagram cherish_dawn3 or even text me 7677497680. Thanks again for everything you all have done and everything im sure your yet to do! You guys have been a lifesaver for both me and my little one. I don’t know how we would have done it without you!
our 13 week old puppy threw up for the first time today and is feeling very lethargic now. It looked like only dog food. He was excited after meeting some girls. is this normal?
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.

Anonymous 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?

Alesha Pearce 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?

Anonymous 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.
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.
that looks like overgrooming to me – this looks like his back, not his neck. i would get him to the vet about this.
