Hi all...i brought my bunnies to the vet today....Dr. Ling...kekeke...this is my first time there.. My bunnies are suffering from allergies and flu...the doc gave them some antibotics and if the bunnies are not well after a week...me still have to bring them back again...the clinic is quite ulu leh...no bus to go in...luckily there is a auntie who brought her doggie there gave us a drive out to the bus-stop  Can anyone advise me what food can i give to my bunnies to improve their health? I am giving them hays and pellets..and both are 2-3months old.  |

last time we ask dr ling 'cause one of buns got this prob whether wet nose but no discharge, something similar to ur bun's case, got prob or not. she just said it's just allergy and sensitive nose. no need to worry leh...  u might want to give ur buns echinacea (vitahealth brand, 30 tabs) from NTUC healthcare. about $13+ a bottle. cut it into quarters. give them a quarter each day. echinacea is for human consumption too. to boost up immune system. dun anyhow buy the echinacea 'cause some are in liquid form... |

I noticed that bunnies placed in air con rooms have wet noses......I think it's like the "sighness" thing that humans have.....once we come out of the air con room, condensation occurs within the nose and cause the "wetness" in our noses.
My bunnies after removing frm air con room dun have this problem anymore!!!

just try to boost up the buns' immune system. think when they grow older, and with the help of echinacea, their immune system will be stronger.  miracle > anything, sms me ok? keep me updated with their development. |

My bunnies after removing frm air con room dun have this problem anymore!!! Tuffy_Buff, does makes some sense... I too agree tat rabbits can suffer from sinus problems... I keep my bunnies in air con room 24x7... so, dun see the wet nose problem lor... maybe when i take them out of the room... perhaps a little condensation forms lor. Miracle, should get echinacea as what puppy advised.. should get the same brand... cos other brands come in capsule form, so difficult to feed your bunny. Exact price is $12.52 from NTUC HealthCare Echinacea 500mg 30tabs This is the write up on the box Echinacea is a traditional medicinal herb used to treat sore throats, skin problems, mouth ulcers, colds, flu, tonsilities, toothaches and cancers. Medical Research show that Echinacea can:
- Stimulate and boost the immune system
- increase resistance to infections
- promote recovery from infections
- purify and cleanse the blood of impurities
- stimulate healing of wounds
- act as an analgesic to relieve pain |

dr ling cant suggest much without seeing ur bun. actually i feel that dr ling cant say much also 'cause ur buns are under medication for only a few days, unless they finish medication liao. anyway, if u want to see dr ling on mon, then go. better than wait lor. just in case his prob becomes more serious. as long as they are still eating, drinking, peeing, pooing normally, then ok... usually when buns are sick, they'll be less active and sian 1. just like human mah. |

hmm... wonder if we are too heaty, then we tend to drink more water but pee little 'cause body absorbs all the water right? does that apply to buns too? |
