🐇 Lapulya: a new attempt — didn’t work out

Remember Lapulya? We tried an unusual approach: instead of routine incisor trimming, we reshaped the lower incisors and shortened the upper ones, hoping to guide their growth and restore a normal bite.

Why it didn’t work:

Lapulya’s lower incisors grow forward, not straight upward. They don’t make proper contact with the upper incisors — no normal wear, no grinding.

His upper incisors are essentially “dead” — they barely grow. Without the right stimulus, there’s no way to correct the bite through lower incisor reshaping.

What’s next?

We’re back to the previous plan: regular dental trims under anaesthesia every 4–6 weeks.

At his last visit, we corrected the cheek teeth — buccal and lingual hooks, overgrown crowns. Tooth 311 shows pathological mobility and elongation; we’ll keep an eye on it.

We’re not extracting Lapulya’s incisors. Reason: his cheek teeth need regular trims, and the incisors are still useful for head fixation during those procedures. Removing them would make access to the cheek teeth much harder.

The key to stability — good hay intake. It slows down the progression of dental disease. Lapulya’s owners understand this and strictly follow the diet.

The attempt failed. Not every new idea works. Back to the tried‑and‑true plan.

We’ll keep you updated ❤️

🐇 Pumpkin (aka Jenny): hoping a crooked incisor was the culprit

Pumpkin, a 1‑year‑old mini lop, was brought in with poor appetite, lethargy, and would only perk up after pain relief. Bloodwork — normal. Ultrasound — unremarkable. Her owners were desperate to find the cause.

The only finding on CT was an abnormal clinical crown of tooth 401 (an incisor). Such a change usually doesn’t cause complete anorexia. But a living tooth can hurt, especially when the bite forces are abnormal.

What we did:

Extraction of tooth 401, plus routine dental correction: a mild buccal hook on 107, a lingual hook on 410. Tooth 106 showed pathological mobility and was left for monitoring.

Outcome:

Surgery went smoothly. Pumpkin went home the same day. We hope that removing the problem tooth will finally solve her issues and she will stop suffering.

Why this matters:

Sometimes the diagnosis isn’t a massive, obvious pathology — it can be a single, seemingly minor detail. If a rabbit is clearly in pain and routine tests show nothing, you must dig deeper.

We will keep an eye on her. Fingers crossed for Pumpkin.

🐇 Kex & Bosnyuk: two brothers, two neuters

Two male rabbits from the same family came in. The owners were tired of constant territory marking, fighting, and non‑stop mounting. The solution — neuter both.

One of them is Kex. Yes, that Kex — the one with splay leg, extracted incisors, and a whole list of congenital issues. But today we’re not talking about teeth, but about testicles.

What we found:

Bosnyuk — a straightforward routine castration. Everything went normally, scrotal oedema was within expected limits.

Kex — a surprise, even for those who already knew him well. His testicles were not in the sc***um but located subcutaneously. Cryptorchidism on top of splay leg and missing incisors. An uncommon combination.

How it went:

Both procedures were performed under controlled anaesthesia with full monitoring. No complications. Kex, despite his unusual anatomy, handled surgery perfectly.

What’s next:

Neutering will stop the hormonal aggression. The brothers will finally be able to live together without fighting, marking, and constant stress. The owners can finally breathe.

Kex is a rabbit with a whole package of congenital peculiarities — splay leg, extracted incisors, cryptorchidism. Yet he eats, runs, and will now live peacefully.

Thank you to the owners for their patience and responsible approach.

🐇 Antosha: a story we couldn’t rewrite

We lost Antosha yesterday. A senior dwarf rabbit we had treated since January — eye problems, chronic liver disease, mild anaemia. He was a fighter.

Two days ago he stopped eating, became lethargic, stopped pooping. Another clinic suspected liver lobe torsion and sent him to us.

He arrived in critical condition. Haematocrit 11.5% (three times lower than normal), ALT over 650. Ultrasound confirmed torsion and free fluid.

We removed the twisted liver lobe. We stopped the bleeding.

But as he woke up, his heart stopped. We did CPR, ventilation, blood transfusion, adrenaline. Nothing helped.

Liver lobe torsion is a devastating emergency. We did everything. Sometimes everything isn’t enough.

Important: We have 25 ml of stored blood from a healthy Belgian hare donor. Usable for one week. Free for any rabbit in need. DM us.

Rest in peace, Antosha. ❤️

🐇 Milka: a «girl» with a surprise

Milka, a white dwarf rabbit, was brought in with clumped droppings, a dirty bottom, and soft stool. The owner was sure she was a female — that’s what previous vets had said.

But the presence of very obvious testicles told a different story. Milka was a male, and he should have been neutered long ago.

What we found:

On exam — lingual hooks (one very pronounced, injuring the tongue) and general malocclusion. Pathological mobility of tooth 211. The cause: chronic incorrect feeding. The owners genuinely tried their best, but they didn’t know that hay is the foundation of the diet, not just an «add‑on».

The clumped droppings and dirty bottom weren’t due to an infection. Milka was in too much pain to groom himself properly because of the dental hooks and jaw discomfort, combined with dietary mistakes.

What we did:

✅ Dental correction — removed the hooks, smoothed elongated crowns.
✅ Orchiectomy (castration) — done under the same anaesthesia.
✅ Nail trim.

What’s next:

The owners received clear feeding guidelines: hay is the basis, pellets (JARSA Fiber) strictly 20 g/day, no treats and no store‑bought greens. A separate plan was given for their second, 2‑month‑old rabbit (youngster pellets).

Vaccination, parasite control, and eventually a skull CT (to rule out hidden issues) are also recommended.

Why this matters:

Milka is a textbook example of a rabbit that was loved but not properly understood. Chronic oral pain, wrong diet, neglected dentistry. The owners aren’t to blame — no one had ever explained it to them. But from now on, everything will change.

Castration will stop hormonal behaviour (marking, aggression, attempts to dominate). Dental correction and a proper diet will restore normal digestion and a clean bottom.

Thank you to the owners for coming in and trusting us. Milka will now live a long, healthy, and happy life.

🐇 Weisber found his home!

Remember our Belgian hares? Weisber — the one with the ear hole after his IV catheter, who survived coccidiosis and a long rehabilitation — has finally found a family.

He moved in with Cruella and Cidades. They spent several days getting to know each other at our place. Originally they were supposed to take Brud, but fate decided differently — they bonded with Weisber instead.

Weisber is calm, hand‑tamed and people‑oriented. He has been through a lot, but he never lost his trust in humans. Now he has his own forever home.

So all is well. Another Belgian hare in good hands.

🐇 Ksusha: a story that didn’t have to happen

Ksusha, a 6‑year‑old dwarf rabbit, was brought in weak, with hind legs splaying and soft stool. On examination — overweight, hunched posture, lower abdominal spasms, inflamed inguinal fold.

Bloodwork was within normal limits. But mammary gland lumps and a history of pseudopregnancy strongly pointed to reproductive disease.

The photos show what we found during surgery: painful mammary tumours and a severely diseased uterus — polycystic ovaries and pyometra (pus‑filled infection). In an unspayed 6‑year‑old doe, this is almost expected.

We performed an emergency ovariohysterectomy. But her body was too depleted. She never improved, and the next day we had to euthanise her.

Why did this happen?

Because Ksusha was not spayed early. In intact does over 3 years of age, the risk of uterine cancer, pyometra and ovarian cysts reaches 50–80%. Spaying at 6–12 months almost completely eliminates that risk. After age 3, surgery is no longer prevention — it is a fight against already established disease.

Uterine cancer has become much younger: a few years ago we saw malignancies mostly in does over 5 years; now we see them from age 3.

If only her owners had known.
If someone had explained it to them. If they had read Rabbit Friendly. If their rabbit‑keeping friends had shared the information.

Ksusha didn’t have to end up here. She could have lived several more healthy, happy years.

What you can do:

· Spay female rabbits at 6–12 months of age.
· Tell other rabbit owners about the importance of prevention.
· Share Rabbit Friendly — the portal that collects all the essential information on rabbit health.

Ksusha can no longer be helped. But others can be.

🐇 Abibobik & Biscuit: a routine castration day

Two young male dwarf rabbits, same age (10–11 months), two routine orchiectomies in one day. Both healthy, both operated successfully.

Both procedures were straightforward: scrotal approach, coagulation, suturing. The only expected finding — mild scrotal oedema, which resolves on its own in 2–3 days.

Anaesthesia was multimodal with local pre‑scrotal block, under full monitoring. Intubation and mechanical ventilation were not required for such short procedures, but all emergency equipment was ready.

Why castration at this age is the right decision:

✅ Prevents testicular cancer (yes, males can get it too)
✅ Eliminates hormonal aggression, urine marking, obsessive behaviour
✅ Allows peaceful co‑habitation with other rabbits (including females)
✅ Increases lifespan and quality of life

Both rabbits are now home, recovering well. Scrotal swelling is subsiding; sutures are absorbable. Full recovery in about one week.

Thank you to the owners for their timely decision and trust.

🐇 Chunya: blood in urine — but the problem wasn’t the bladder

Chunya, a 3.5‑year‑old dwarf rabbit, was brought in with blood in her urine. One month earlier she had a similar episode — treated with Urolesan, symptoms disappeared. Then the bleeding came back.

She had an X‑ray in Moscow — no stones. Meloxicam was prescribed. After that, Chunya developed diarrhoea and started producing less urine. The owners got worried and came to us.

What we found:

Overweight, hunched posture, abdominal pain on palpation, urine dribbling, straining. Urine dipstick: very high leukocytes, blood, elevated protein.

Ultrasound showed normal kidneys and bladder — but fluid inside the uterus.

Diagnosis: the blood wasn’t coming from the urinary tract. It was coming from the uterus. In an unspayed 3.5‑year‑old female, that almost always means either cystic endometrial hyperplasia or adenocarcinoma.

What we did:

Emergency ovariohysterectomy (removal of uterus and ovaries). Abdominal fat was excessive; the uterus looked abnormal. Tissue was sent for histopathology.

Result:

The day after surgery, Chunya was active, eating dandelion and hay, and producing droppings. The haematuria stopped completely.

What’s next:

· Antibiotics, pain relief, probiotics
· Cosmetic suture — no removal needed
· Chest CT in 3–4 months to rule out metastases
· Histology results in 7–14 days
· Weight loss and diet adjustment

Take‑home message:

Blood in a female rabbit’s urine is not always cystitis or bladder stones. In an unspayed doe, the uterus must be ruled out first. Delaying surgery can be fatal.

Chunya made it in time. Her owners did the right thing — they didn’t stop at the X‑ray and came to us.

🐇 Larry: one month after the crisis — stable and in control

A quick reminder of Larry’s story: a dwarf lop with urolithiasis and struvite stones. We performed a pyelotomy (stone removal from the kidney) and orchiectomy. It was a severe case — sky‑high creatinine, dangerous hyperkalaemia, risk of cardiac arrest. We stabilised him, operated, and discharged him with a strict diet and care plan.

One month later, Larry came for a check‑up. And the news is good.

Ultrasound findings:
Left kidney — normal, no pelvic dilation, but some parenchymal mineralisation (a consequence of the disease). Right kidney — normal, no dilation. Bladder moderately filled — he drinks enough, urine flow is normal.

Clinical status:
Larry is active, has a good appetite, normal stool and urination. Stable weight — 2180 g.

What now and what’s next:
The acute danger is over, but CKD remains. The owners’ task is to maintain stability:

💧 Plenty of fluids — several water bowls, a fountain, lingonberry leaf decoction.
🌿 Diet — only timothy hay, Jarsa Fiber or Zhar Ptitsa pellets strictly 20 g/day. Alfalfa, legumes, spinach, parsley, fruit, sweets — all forbidden.
🩺 Home emergency kit — spasmolytic (Spasmolgon), syringes, a glucometer.
📅 Scheduled follow‑ups: skull CT (to rule out ear and dental issues), ultrasound and bloodwork in 3 months.

Larry is stable. His kidneys are working. Stones are not coming back. This is the best possible outcome of timely surgery and a disciplined diet.

🐇 Lyala: acute GI crisis with a happy ending

Lyala, a 2‑year‑old lionhead rabbit, arrived late in the evening with classic signs of trouble: refusing food, no droppings, lethargy, and a tight, bloated belly.

Bloodwork showed severe electrolyte imbalances, markers of starvation, and marked eosinophilia — often a sign of parasite overload.

We started intensive care: IV fluids to restore hydration and electrolytes, plus medication to relieve spasm and protect the stomach.

By the next morning, Lyala was eating again, producing droppings, and her belly had softened. Within 24 hours she was active and bright.

She was discharged with advice on gut support, plenty of fluids, regular grooming, and parasite control.

The cause: GI stasis triggered by ingested fur. Early intensive care helped her body recover without surgery.
