sorry to hear that vincent
 i was hoping he will be okfor rabbits, they always always have to eat and poo and pee! very important to keep the gut moving.. the minute they stop eating or pooing, we have to step in. if they stop eating for 12 hours, that is critical already.. we just need to keep this in mind |

QUOTE(nicoty_yne @ Jul 7 2008, 01:19 PM) Guys, please answer this.. Do u have male rabbit more than 1 year old? How many water intake it takes daily? u need to ask them more questions.. with such little info, impossible to decide who to go for.My previous male Nino drank 250ml a day... But daddy (1and half years old bunny) drinking habit rly makes me wori.. He drinks 500-700ml daily. I check from the internet about renal dissease symptom, but he didnt show any sign of getting renal disease (or any disease), except drink alot. Dr Pillai said ok.. but i'm going to send him to other vet soon. Owh, btw... i'm now preparing him for neutering process.. And hope this drinking problem wont give any bad effect to the neutering.. I only found 3 vets (from yellow pages) who do neutering. 1) Dr Pillai (Chai Leng Park) - RM60 (male only). He's using local anaesthetic (bcoz he said the other anaesthetic are stong for rabbit), the rabbit is concious during the surgery.. I'll not send Daddy here. 2) Pusat Haiwan Pulau Pinang - RM80 (male only). He said he's using mix anaesthetic, but he said safe for rabbit. But my bf and frens said goverment selalunya tak ok.. What do u guys think? 3) Dr. Pava & Dr. Shohna Vet Surgeon (Bukit Gelugor) - RM280 for male. I didnt ask the spaying cost, sori.. Should i send Daddy here?  what anaesthetic? isofluorane is safe. sevoflourane is even better. how many neuters have they done? what is the success rate?? it should be 99.99% do they recommend fasting the rabbit before surgery? if they tell you yes, then forget it. look for another vet. the most basic difference between a rabbit and other animals is that rabbits cannot vomit, so they don't need to fast before surgery. fasting rabbits is very bad as it will disrupt the digestive system |

Nicoty_yne, if Daddy is peeing normally, as opposed to straining to pee, then it shouldn't have any urinary problems.
is he drinking from a water bottle or bowl? if its water bottle, could it be that its leaking? if he is otherwise normal, was not recently in a fight/suffered any injuries, then it ok.. This post has been edited by 11Jan: Jul 7 2008, 01:42 PM |

QUOTE(nicoty_yne @ Jul 7 2008, 05:46 PM) He starts drink alot since he recover from the 2 lumps removal (around1-2months ago). He eats and poops normally. So, is it consider normal for a buck? maybe you can check with the vet when you bring Daddy for his pre-neuter checkup.. in humans, drinking a lot of water in certain circumstances (post-accident, etc) is a sign of internal bleeding, the body is losing a lot of fluid and thus drives the person to drink more. but since its already been 2 months from Daddy's surgery, maybe that is not the case.. hehe sorry hope i didn't alarm you  it just kind of rang a bell when you tied the excessive water consumption to a surgery.. i doubt its related to the surgery as that was so long ago, but since ur going to the vet, just see what they have to say about him drinking a loti just found this: http://www.marvistavet.com/html/overview_o...s_mellitus.html which says excessive eating/drinking/urinating/weightloss could be a sign of diabetes. i have no idea if our vets here are able to test for that.. again, not to alarm you.. i'm just as curious as you are about his drinking habits.. lets see what the vet says it could very well be nothing haha some rabbits just drink more than others .. i guess as rabbit slaves, we tend to get paranoid sometimes This post has been edited by 11Jan: Jul 7 2008, 07:00 PM |

yea play pen or harness would be better as opposed to a collar & leash..
but with rabbits, we can't really leave them on their own. any random dog or cat could cause them harm, and these things happen in a flash.. best to stay near your rabbits |

QUOTE(adriel_heresy @ Jul 8 2008, 04:00 PM) i saw some rabbits collar at the pet safari. so i was wondering is it a good idea to get it. better to get a harness which does not go around the rabbit's neck, but instead, uses the chest as support. something like these: http://www.amazon.com/Northwest-Deluxe-Rab.../ref=pd_sbs_k_2 http://www.westcoastpetsupply.com/2/Super-...etchy-Stroller/ |

my bunnies do the F1 around the living room too.. and because the floor is tiled, they skid when they take corners haha bumping into the wall sometimes, but nothing serious.. just minor bumps..
parks, i dunno.. i just imagine it to be crawling with parasites, waiting to jump on the next furry host that walks/hops by..  This post has been edited by 11Jan: Jul 8 2008, 04:36 PM |

don't be sad, if the baby is going to a good home then he/she will have a good life there.. and since the guy is your friend, he will keep you updated on the bunny..

hmm.. long post.. good post..
but i'm afraid its just wasted on certain ppl.. a lot of them come in here already with their minds set on breeding.. and 100% of the time, they have very little or zero knowledge about breeding, except for the fact of putting male and female together. even the very basic knowledge on proper rabbit care, they don't have.. and yet they want to jump right in to procreation disappointing, but true they're not gonna listen to what anyone else has to say..

on the contrary, rabbits DO mourn their lost partners. they are very capable of forming strong bonds with another rabbit, or with their human owners. they are sociable animals and do enjoy company.
spend more time with your rabbit, give it as much attention as you can afford to. don't rush into getting another bunny, if your rabbit is still mourning, it will not accept a new companion so easily This post has been edited by 11Jan: Jul 9 2008, 03:33 PM |

oh, you mean you were not around and your friend was watching them for you when Lebot passed away? did you get to see the body, was he hurt or injured in any way??
i travelled with my rabbits before, 4hour car-ride.. i noticed a slight change in their appetite when they arrived at the destination, they were less eager to eat but other than that they took the travelling quite well.. This post has been edited by 11Jan: Jul 9 2008, 04:25 PM |
