Avatar f tn It depends what is causing the red spots. Is it mites? Is there conjunctivitis in your rabbits eyes that is causing your rabbit to scratch and thus causing self inflicted scabbing around the eyes? It really would be best to have your vet decide.

Avatar f tn Ashley, tooth decay is cavities. I'm sorry, I was only joking with you. Your rabbit won't get tooth decay from not cutting its nails. I don't think you have to worry about cutting the rabbit's nail. They live in the wild without anyone tending to their nails so the little guy should be fine. I was just joking with you about the tooth decay. Take care, Ashley.
1896318 tn?1321347087 Cats and dogs never have pinworms (enterobius vermicularis), I have no idea about rabbits but, in order to get pinworms from your pets you're actually eating the eggs, which means you should make you and you family obsessed with washing your hands eery time you touch the rabbits (again, relax with cats and dogs because they can't have them). But if you're not seeing worms or eggs in your rabbits anus then the problem is probably in the humans only.
Avatar n tn Your bunny may have a corneal ulcer, conjunctivitis, a foreign body in the eye, or other eye infection. He may also have an ear infection in the corresponding ear. If he has an ear infection which is painful or itchy, he could have accidently scratched his eye while trying to scratch his ear. Or, if the infection is just in the eye (with no ear involvement) the eye could have been itchy or painful and scratching could make it worse by introducing additional bacteria or irritants.

Avatar n tn Does anyone know of a vet that will spay a female bunny for an affodable rate in the DFW Metroplex? I have pnly found one clinic that will spay,and they want almost $300 for it.
Avatar m tn Yes, it is bad. The internal parasites that ivermectin protects against, while of some concern, are not the real problem here. Wild rabbits carry a number of bacteria and organisms that can cause lots of problems for pet dogs and cats. Wild rabbits can carry leptospirosis, toxoplasmosis, and several other diseases that your dog can contract from eating their feces.
Avatar n tn I would assume that since spending 10 years with rabbits without issues, I would be fine with guinea pigs, too. The rabbits have always lived in my bedroom, cages are regularly cleaned, at least twice if not thrice a week. I use kitty litter for them. Same as with the guinea pigs. The cages are washed and cleaned regularly. So, I'm wondering; is what I'm experiencing a flat out allergic reaction to the guinea pigs?
Avatar n tn Rabbits urinate large amounts of calcium. A rabbits body can form stones from the calcium that is held in the bladder prior to urination. If the stones become large enough they can block the urethra, similar to the kind of blockage that occurs in male cats. This kind of blockage can cause death within 24 hours if not relieved. Another possibility is gastrointestinal obstruction by a hairball. Hairballs in rabbits can also be deadly due to stasis of the digestive tract.
Avatar f tn The urine you describe is normal, because rabbits pass a very concentrated urine that is high in calcium. Because of the high solute composition of their urine, rabbits can get urinary tract infections. Males have testicles, unless they have been neutered. They are elongated tubular structures that lie along the sides of the hind-end of the belly. You may not be able to see or feel the testicles because male rabbit's can pull the testicles up into the body cavity.

Avatar f tn why do girls with anorexia stop getting their periods ? what is the link to Kyphosis to anorexia ?
918035 tn?1274644533 The problem is the voice in your head. The second problem is that you listen to the voice in your head which is telling you all the wrong things. You need to sort this out with a profesional..there are many trained to deal with eating disorders with teenagers...your parents or your doctor can help you find the right person. This can be a very serious health risk...see a professional as soon as possible.
Avatar f tn t happen over night and doing it right will keep it off longer... With anorexia the second you start to eat your body holds in everything including the fat because it knows you will starve it again. Also when you stop eating your body will start to eat itself (including your muscles). You can do this hun... keep it up and persevere.
5061022 tn?1363018223 I am trying to get away from doing it as I have had it under control for the past year and it was recently triggered again in January. I have been dealing with it since the 8th grade and I am now a college junior....its a constant battle and I hate it....I am trying so hard right now to fight losing weight the right way....I am having a very hard time.....
Avatar n tn If given a choice of rabbit mixes, rabbits will often pick out foods high in carbohydrates, high in simple sugars and high in fat, these foods are often extremely low in fibre. Thus they will select foods like grain, nuts, and cereal over more fibrous foods like hay. Indigestible fibre and size of the food play a big role in aiding digestion and the abrasive nature aids in the maintenance of the continuously growing cheek teeth.
Avatar n tn Dear kate306, Your gastrointestinal system could definitely be thrown off from your anorexia. Your current anxiety could be the culprit for your diarrhea. Anxiety and Anorexia often go hand in hand. Seeking medical attention for your diarrhea is recommended. Getting to the root of your anxiety and decreasing your anxiety is critical.
