Help! My bunny has some skin disorders. It's like her ears are rotting. Not sure what happened. Can someone help cure her?
I will upload the picture later. I'm busy working and really no time to treat them now. I am asking help from fellow rabbit lovers if anyone would like to help me take care and cure them. I will bear all cost of their food and medication.

If you have bonded with them and would like to keep them later I'll be happy to let them go to a better owner. It's up to you if you would like to keep them or return to me later.

I'm seriously begging for help now.

Hi Agheng, why don't you find a vet to help you?

There's 2 vets that I always go:
Klinic Veterinar Mayo (USJ)
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Klinik-Veter...200016460069259

Bandar Puteri Veterinary Clinic and Surgery (Puchong)
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bandar-Puter...208747155824091

Can't see clearly from the pictures you uploaded. If only the brown rabbit is infected, please separate the healthier rabbit from the one being infected. You mentioned that you are busy working and has no time to take care of the rabbit. may I know where are you based?

Yes. I am planning to bring them to the puchong vet. But as I read in this forum, I need to keep the cage clean and need to wash the cage everyday. I reach home around 8pm and I need to attend to my kids. I'm afraid I may not have time to do this daily. The rabbits were a request from my kids but they do not know how to take care and I need to take up the responsibility to care for them. But I'm afraid I'm not good enough to do this daily. That's why shouting for help.

If you look at the picture, I took it this morning. The brown rabbit nose and ears are infected. The feet of the white rabbit is also infected but not visible in this pic.

Hi, I bought it from Pets Wonderland Mid Valley for RM15.90.
The food left is probably around 99%, 1% went to my hamster's tummy.

Actually in my opinion, pets need clean environment. and as i can see your bunnies are still babies. so their immunity may not be that strong. it's good to bring them to Dr. Edmund (from Bandar Puteri Vet) for some cure. Meanwhile, I help you ask see anyone would like to adopt and take care of sick bunnies or not. When are you taking them to the vet?

My bunnies have the same infection when they were younger, but I detected it early and got an injection for them. =) I hope your bunnies will be fine too!

is that loss of fur on the ears and the nose that I see on the orange colour one? And possibly near the paws of the white one too? and there's some kinda crusty white brown material building up on the nose and the ears?

if yes then that's mange. serious but common enough that it can be easily treated. diagnosis is done by taking a skin sample of the effected area to examine under a microscope for signs of microscopic mites.

The normal treatment is weekly injections of ivermectin either 2 or 3 times depending on how serious the infection is. you'll need to bring both rabbits there at the same time. and give the cage a good cleanup too.

This is also the sad thing about a lot of large pet shops that has rabbits. infection rate for rabbits from those shops can be rather high. and when a rabbit is infected, they tend to just quarantine them, hoping that they'll recover on their own, of which they won't recover without medication.

Another vet you can look at is https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pusat-Peruba...194204273962293

they specialise in small animals (of which a lot of vets do not have experience with, as most vets here largely have experience with either cats or dogs). they're pretty good, did a tumour removal surgery on a dwarf hamster for me before

Thank you very much for all your advice and opinions. I came back from work today and clean up the entire cage with clorox. I think it need some disinfecting. Was planning to place the rabbits in a dry, unused bathroom. I will bring them to see a vet this coming saturday. Have anyone heard of Dr Tan Ong Leong from City Pets at Seri Kembangan? I live near there and am planning to bring them there. I called the Dr today and he said he does treat rabbits.

I also use some dettol on cotton and used them to wipe the feets and ears. I hope they don't die from me doing that

I noticed they poo a lot. Really a lot! Is that normal?

I hope to be able to treat them and let them grow up healthy. I will post progress over here.

never used dettol on my rabbits before, but don't think it'll help with this. what they really need is the ivermectin injection from the vet. but what that would help is, the areas especially on the ears where the crust like material is the thickest? rub some olive oil into those spots. that'll help to soften the crust. this has 2 effects:
- when the crust that is stuck to the skin gets thick enough, it may split the skin. think of it as a huge scab on your skin at places like your elbow or knees where the skin flexes whenever you move. softening the crust will help prevent that
- it'll also help the crust come off easier as the ivermectin takes effect and starts killing the mites.

and yes, pooing a lot is normal for rabbits.

Happy to hear that! I've never used dettol on my rabbits before. But i do dilute dettol and vinegar solution in spray to spray around the cage, to get rid of the urine smell. It's not advisable to dap dettol on the rabbits because, rabbits are deemed as clean animals, they love to lick themselves. We don't want them to lick the dettol right?

If your rabbit still eats, drink, pee and produce dry poo, means they are ok. You should start worrying if their poo is too small (like ants) or too watery.

I drop you a PM regarding the rabbit care. Please check it out =)

how about this one?



please sticky this at the front page !

Recently adopted 2mo baby rabbits from a friend. Currently feeding them endless supply of alfalfa hay and pellets twice to trice daily. Poop so much tho!!! Is that normal? Trying to toilet train them. So far so good. They pee in 1 place but poop everywhr.

Very manja like to cuddy up when i let them hop around in the room.
When is the right time to start them on veggies n fruits?
I want to teach them tricks so wanna hive treats.
Tq

Brought them to see the vet this morning. Had one jab each and will need to bring them again next week for 4 weeks.

I have now moved them to a dry unused bathroom where they have more space and it's easier for me to clean the bathroom.

I hope they recover soon.

Owh no.. hope that wont happen anytime soon..
Im just amazed at the amount of poop that comes out of their tiny bodies.. hehe..luckily their poop is very easy to clean. Fiewhhh..

haha, pooping is good for rabbits. As for your earlier questions, when to introduce treats?

Green leafy vegetables (except iceberg lettuce aka po li sen chai in mandarin) can be introduced gradually anytime. Example of vegetables available in Malaysia -cucumber, kangkung, cilantro, parsley (can buy from Giant & Cold Storage), bayam (sparingly), bok choy, celery (please peel the skin because of the hard fibre of celery will damage the rabbits teeth and also potential to cause the rabbit to choke). You can feed them these daily, but their main diet should always be hay.

Treats like mulberry, raspberry, apple, orange, bananas should be given once a week, and the portion shouldn't be too much. I normally give a maximum of thumb size or one small slice of the fruit. Rabbits can really like the treats and boycott hay, so better not to spoil them. Since you mentioned that the rabbits are babies, best if you give them really little treats and slowly increase as they age. Babies tummies can be sensitive and could cause diarrhoea.

Hope this helps. Happy bonding with your rabbits =)

check out these articles on the rabbit's digestive system:
http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/expl...ive-system.html
http://www.bio.miami.edu/hare/poop.html
