lathargic, worms in feces

Thank you for your question. I apologize for the delay, this venue is not set up for urgent emails. I hope that your pet is feeling better. If they are still having problems, It would be best to have your pet seen by a veterinarian, as they can examine them, see what might be going on, and get any testing or treatment taken care of that might be needed.

Hi! I’m just wondering somethings concerning pinworms in my bunny. We have 4 cats who are always around my bunny as she is free roam. I have been reading up on pinworms in bunny’s and have come across something saying that the pinworms that affect bunny’s will not affect a human. I would like to know if that’s true and if my cats could get them as well. Also what would be the best medication. I’m really worried about finding the right one

Thank you for your question. People cannot get pinworms from animals, but it is likely that your cats could get them from your rabbit. Pinworms are not really that common, however, and there are other parasites that are much more common. Since I cannot see your rabbit or what parasites you may be seeing, it would be a good idea to take a fecal sample to a veterinarian and have your rabbit examined and the fecal sample analyzed to see what parasites may be there. They will be able to get you the correct medication to clear up any parasites that are there. I hope that all goes well!

Have had multiple deaths of young rabbits. Age 6 weeks to 3 months. Even with my best momma rabbit. These are large meat rabbits babies. Mostly New Zealand Breed. My daughter saw a small worm in the rectum of a dead 8 week old baby when she was removing it. We give all rabbits ice bottles daily, fresh water, and they have a fan. Each have a back box to get out of the fan. The temps are in the 90’s. I live in Alabama. I have never lost so many juvenile rabbits. We have lost almost two liters. Any suggestions? Treat for worms? They mostly get rabbit pellets and hay. Have stopped all outside food

Thank you for your question. There are many causes for sudden death in baby rabbits, including parasites, infectious disease, or bad feed. Since this seems to be somewhat of an epidemic at your place, it would probably be best to have them seen by a veterinarian at some point. They will be able to examine your rabbits, see if there are parasites or other obvious infections happening, and get treatment for anything that might be happening. I hope that all goes well.

my rabbit is pooping continuously and the butt area has red big bumps Another discovery is that of circum-anal warts in this female rabbit. She had been licking these warts red. like its bleeding what should i do??

Thank you for your email. Since I cannot examine Babblu or determine what might be going on with her, it would be best to make an appointment with your veterinarian to have her seen. They will be able to look at the area, determine what might be going on, and recommend any necessary testing or treatments for her.
