Hello,
You may have to find a local rabbit enthusiast or expert to help identify the breed. In the dog world we can use dna testing. Most bigger cities have rabbit interest groups. You could try asking them.

How do you tell if you’re bunny is an American White, a New Zealand or a Florida White rabbit?
My bunny is a white bunny with red eyes and they all seem to look exactly like her.

Krista Magnifico If he is eating and drinking ok I would just give him time to settle down. Be patient and expect him to be reluctant after a traumatic experience.
I Have A 1 Year Old Female Staffordshire Terrier That My Wife And I Were…
I have a 1 year old female Staffordshire Terrier that my wife and I were considering turning into my service dog. After talking, her and I thought maybe we could get another dog and train one or both of them. As staffies being a bull breed member–thus she is somewhat dog aggresive–are there any breeds out there that would be compatible with a staffie?

Krista Magnifico Hello,
I would not say that staffues are “commonly dog aggressive”. They are like every other dog a product of their genetics and training. Every dog is different and no two are exactly alike. Ask the trainer who will be your service guide dog mentor for help in finding a dog that meets your needs both emotionally and physically. And then see how they do with your existing dog. It is always a process and it takes time and patience. It also takes knowing your abilities and limitations. Good luck

Krista Magnifico Hello,
I should preface al of this by stating that I am not a nutritionist and all feeding plans should be discussed with your vet ans they know you and your cats best. Here’s what I do for my cats. I like science diet adult dry and I often give RR as a treat. I also lean more on the canned food as a better weight loss food for overweight indoor cats as it can be diluted with water and is higher in protein. Cats can have a hard time with dry food as it is often higher Ion carbs and they often don’t get enough exercise. Let me know a little bit more about your cats or better yet ask your vet for guidance. Thanks for the question. -
Kari White Post author Hi Dr. Magnifico it is Tom and Jerry I adopted from your office last year. Prior Doc and Happy. Jerry is getting big but not overweight. Jerry loves food so I cut nohim back to the package recommended amount of 3/4 cup dry. Tom is one I had to syringe feed and is smaller than Jerry. That had the outbreak around his mouth..totally cleared up. He likes the wet food and will nibble the dry but doesn’t eat much of it. Both are active. Tom much more than Jerry.
There Are Are Small (smaller Than The Size Of Pea) Bumps On My Dogs Head…
There are are small (smaller than the size of pea) bumps on my dogs head, that were not there yesterday. She’s a 5 year old beagle. They seem to be underneath the skin with no redness or any other noticeable protrusion above the skin. They don’t seem to be bothering her. She’s up to date on all vaccines and flea/tick treatment. I wiped the top of her head off with a wash cloth with dawn dish soap on it and they gown down significantly. I’m not sure what it might be and what caused it

Krista Magnifico Hello,
Based on the acute onset my guess would be allergies or hives/uticaria. But this is a guess. Your best bet for a better answer is at your vets office. Call them and ask for help. If it is allergies you might need help with a medication like a steroid or antihistamine to stop and/or reverse them. I have seen some dogs start with a few bumps to develop a whole body reaction over a few days or even hours. It’s always better to address an issue in the early stages then to have it get worse

Sarah Good morning? Sorry about your pup. I don’t wait on the eyes… I always think of them as an emergency for obvious reasons. I would call my vet right away, and have them checked. Even if it ends up being allergies, they can give your dog something to help. And if it something more, you’ll be very happy you didn’t wait.

Laura I agree, that’s concerning. Please get her to the vet today.
Hello, I’m sorry to hear about your pup. I would say a few things are important to mention. 1. Call everyone to try to be seen by the neurologist sooner. Call and ask to be put on a cancelation list. So if they get an opening they can call you and get you in sooner. Call your closest vet school and try to get in there. 2. Ask about getting your mds filled via your pharmacy. Gabapentin is cheap here. About $30 for a two week supply. If you can’t get it cheaper ask about tramadol or an online pharmacy. I have a blog about all the meds I used with hank. I often use robaxin and pred to start. They are both very inexpensive. But i also add gastro protectsncrs like famotidine/omeprazole and sulcralfate with pred. Massage and PT are wonderful at any stage of the recovery process. Ask your vet for guidance with these. Hope this helps! Good luck. Also see Dodgers List for assistance.
Hello,
Has your vet done bloodwork, X-ray, urine culture and sensitivity and an ultrasound ? I suspect the answer to the recurrent UTIs lies within these diagnostics.
