Can you help my poor bunny??

Like 5 minutes ago me and my bunny were playing and underneath his chin I felt something odd there. So I lay him on my lap and look at he has a scab about the size of a quater. From the looks of it the scab has been there for a long time. But it is still attached to the skin alot and Im afriad that this scab could get infected. I asked my mom if we could take him to the vet but she said we'll wait and see if it gets better if not then we'll take him. Is there any thing I can do to help him if he is in any pain??
Answers:
Wash the scab very carefully. Chances are that it is more dried blood on the fur than a scab. It could be just a little spot. Once all clean then apply (with a cotton ball or tissue) a little listerine (or what you use for mouthwash) to disinfect. Your bunny will be just fine as it is acting ok. Just keep an eye on its stool and movements. It probably just scratched or caught itself on something. If it gets worse then call a vet. Do NOT give it human stuff like an aspirin or anything. Just some tender bunny TLC. If this is an outdoor bunny I can almost assure the that cleaning and taking care of it will do the trick.My advice.that and looootttttts of bunny love and a careful, watchful eye. Now go get "Hopping" and take care of him.
i have a bunny and the best thing to do is call the vet really becuase if the bunny wasnt like sitting there like it is in pain then then it doesnt really hurt much just dont place it in dirty spots like floor for now

CALL THE VET!

ps my bunny's name is Bunny!
you should go on the search and search on bunnys and select injery help on face. you might find some good info
the best thing i could recommend to do is perhaps call a vet.sometimes if u tell them ur problem, they will give u advice on how to keep ur pet comfortable until u can afford to take them to the vet.good luck and i hope ur bunny gets better!!
You should just try to forget about it. It probobly will get better. I have rechearched bunnys for 4 years now. If it does not get any better in like three days it might be a problem. If he still has it you should take him to the vet like the next day. It shouldn't hurt him to wait for a few days.
Ps my name is Molly
IF YOUR BUNNY IS STIL EATING AND DRINKING HE IS NOT IN PAIN ARE YOU SURE ITS NOT JUST A CLUMP OF FURR THATS KNOTTED TOGEATHER,LIKE OFTEN HAPPENS TO CATS AND DOGS WITH LONG HAIR,IF IT IS YOU CAN CUT IT AWAY CAREFULLY WITH SISSORS,JUST DONT GET TO CLOSE TO THE SKIN,IF ITS A SCAB AS LONG AS ITS KEEPED DRY IT IS UNLIKELY TO BECOME INFECTED,I THINK YOUR BUNNY WILL BE FINE AND AS YOUR MUM HAS SAID IF IT GETS WORSE THEN A TRIP TO THE VET MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA,BUT MAYBE MUM CANT AFFORD THE VETS,THAY ARE QUITE EXPENSIVE,IF THIS IS THE CASE TRY ASKING THE RSPCA TO HELP OR LOOK UP YOUR NEAREST RABBIT CLUB OR BREEDER USALLY THEY CAN HELP YOU,GOOD LUCK
If it already a scab then leave it alone to fall off on it's own. If the skin around it looked red and swollen and/or the wound was not scabbed over and was oozing, then it would be a problem. You could put some antibacterial ointment on it if that would make YOU feel better. Just a light coating of ointment, though, it's not good if the bunny eats it because it has petroleum jelly base that would give him diarrhea. It will take a very long time for the scab to fall off because it is dried into his fur.
It would be difficult for anyone online to give a diagnosis on a rabbit. However I'd suggest giving the rabbit mineral water for a week. If the rabbit is in a cage, maybe you can put wet paper towels on the bed of the cage. If you are in a dry atmosphere, this can effect the head region of many animals.
A sore on the rabbit's jaw can be an indication of a serious problem. Rabbit's teeth continue to grow and need to be trimmed from time to time, if they don't get enough things to chew on that are able to grind down their teeth. Sometimes they develop abscessed teeth and the abscess will actually erupt through the jawline, rather than in the mouth. It would probably be best to have a vet check your rabbit. An abscessed tooth could lead to your bunny stopping eating and starving to death.
I would say, leave it alone, if you haven't noticed it yet, chances are the he hasn't either. Don't touch it or you may irritate it and then he might start scratching at it.
If he shows no other signs of ill health and the scab is dry (no pus or weeping), then he should be fine. If it does show any signs of getting worse or your bunny starts to show any other signs of not being well (ie, he is not behaving as he normally does) then take him to the vet but otherwise I wouldn't worry. A scab is the body's natural way of helping a wound to heal (the same as in humans) so left on it's own it should be fine. If you want to treat it, perhaps wash the area with a solution of 1 teaspoon of salt diluted in 1 cup of warm water.
If its a scab is likely healing well. You can put honey on it. Honey is a natural antiseptic and if they eat it they will be ok. http;//www.rabbit.org

Can you help me figure out how to cure my ferret?

It began 3 wks ago. I found her very sick in the bottom of her cage, drooling, convulsions and fever. The vet took x-ray, nothing suspicious and gave her a shot of Baytril that instantly cured her and prescribed amoxicillan twice a day. 2 wks later I found her flat again with the same symptoms and the vet gave a shot of Baytril which took a little time to work and prescribed one per day for 3 days then 1 every other day. The first day that was skipped she was fine but as it left her system she got sick again. The vet checked insulin levels, nothing suspicious, gave a shot of Baytril and something for insulin just in case. Not better that evening so vet gave heart strengthening pills. The convulsions intensified and she began screaming from the pain. After 1 hour the convulsions died down but she still couldn't move. Now she is breathing short, hard breaths. She had a dose of Baytril this morning which did nothing. What should I do?
Answers:
common differentials to talk to the vet about besides the insulin and heart problems he has already tried to rule out are: adrenal disease (adrenal crisis- lack of hormones), canine distemper, rabies (uncommon but can occur with seizures and foaming at mouth), and parasites have your vet check his stool (feces) for parasite ova or larvae. Good luck

Ps- since you mentioned the cat litter box, have the vet check for toxoplasmosis (cats can harbor the organism it is shed in feces)
Could be two things.. Insulin shock is one.. the other is full on adneral disease.

How old is your ferret? Showing any sign of hair loss? Pawing at the mouth? Excessive water intake?

hair loss around the tail %26 swelling in the belly would be adneral tumors. Surgery is an option, but it only buys them time.

Insuloma, is very hard to treat. The animals usually suffer seizures %26 the vet bills are HUGE. They paw at the mouth since they feel like they are choking %26 dehydrated. They drink water to try to regulate blood sugar levels.

I would highly recommend x-rays to see the adrenals.. and another blood test to check insulin levels.

Good Luck
start with a new vet um i haven't really in countered this yet but check out some ferret health sites google this "ferret medical" and see what it brings up try other words too like ferret convulsions and so on i wish i could help redrock or Huh? might help more hope they see this soon

Can you have an aramadillo for a pet?


Answers:
Yes you can, come on over and I'll give you a couple.They don't make very good pets.unless you get one before his eyes open.
ya.
Not unless you have a permit to own a wild animal
maybe.depends on what it really is
you need a permit and a heart.

so many people think its "cool" to have a wild animal as a pet, but then are unable to take care of it..

these animals also have feelings. they dont want to be deserted and hurt.

sooooooo good luck with that.
i don't think so, they are endangered i think. but it would be best to check with the local ASPCA. they should know all the laws of your area and state.
Yes, you can! I found a website on them too! http://www.msu.edu/~nixonjos/armadillo/p. well, that was the intro page. Here is the care sheet: http://www.msu.edu/~nixonjos/armadillo/c. Good luck!

can you have a raccoon as a pet?

Is there any laws against it? and do they make okay pets.. i'm sure they're probably a lot like ferrets. obviously after rabies and distempter shots.
does anyone have any experience with keeping a raccoon as a pet?
Answers:
If you want rabies, no problem.

Actually there are laws against it. Unless you keep is uber quiet and don't show it off.
No
Dont do that! These animals are wild, and you know how insane wild animals are..
NO. DON'T DO IT. When I was in Grade School, 60 years ago, I can still remember a friend of mine who had a pet coon.. Those things have extremely sharp and long claws and his pet coon sliced him hand, wrist and arm like like it was cut with a scaple. give Coons a VERY wide berth and leave them alone.
there are laws against it
you cant sorry
dont keep it
Yes, just get a rabies shot and wear plenty of protective eyeware. Good luck!
make sure you talk to the local wildlife rangers and such i believe you have to have a permit to keep them
The only way is to get a baby before it opens its eyes.Otherwise forget it. My girlfriend has had racoons as pets before and she says they're fun.
sure!

you like rabies and lice?

good luck, ma'am!
laws: yes.
good idea: of course not
cute idea: maybe
my friend took care of one as a baby and it stayed in a cage but it still ended up biting him and they had to get rid of them. They are to wild to be confined indoors or in a cage outside.
they raid your frig, open taps and leave the water run, tear holes in screens, are not potty trained, rip stuff up!! get a dog!
I think it's against the law. check your local laws.
They are considered vermin! Rabies shots will not help. Get a dog!
awww. i can understand why you'd want one. they're so adorable!
i wish i could have one too! %26 a squirrel! they're cute!
yes u can..u just hav to buy it from a store =) (good luck finding one) or ask ur city if u can.

i've seen on t.v. sumone selling baby lions.(this is on the news and it gave the phone number) u prob. need a licience though

i also seen ppl own skunks..(the news team did a report on this lady..)
They always stay a bit wild.
Laws probably vary by state. I'm sure they would make a good pet if you got one as a baby. If there are no shots for them it may be illegal to sell them.
There are no shots for ferrets which is why it's illegal to sell them. That's why you have to buy a cage %26 get the ferret for free.
yes, they are still animals right?
Many people may not think of raccoons as pets. Those who so live with them find they make fascinating and funny companions, although prone to a little, or maybe lots, of mischief.
Before even considering a raccoon though, be aware that they are illegal in many areas. Check with local and state/provincial regulatory bodies before pursuing the idea of having a raccoon as a pet. If raccoons are legal where you are, then the search is on. It is best to obtain them from a breeder, although one may be difficult to find. Some have raised orphan raccoons as pets. In any case, it is best if the raccoons are very used to being handled, a lot and from an early age. This will help make them more sociable and less prone to bite. Raccoons are prone to biting, especially if they feel threatened, so be prepared that this may happen.
They are tempting b/c they are so darn cute..but ewwwww they carry way too many disease and germs and are cruel to other animals. You can't tame a racoon.it's their nature to be in the wilderness. Don't take them out of their natural environment..it's not natural. I hear they will drown dogs in pools of water if they are hungry enough.. adopt a dog or cat.there are too many out there that need loving homes..
I know they are legal to have as a pet in Utah, I knew someone that had one. She also got scratched and got very ill from blood poisoning, even after the animal had all of its shots.
My dad had a racoon as a pet and it was very protective of the family and actually attacked damn near everyone else. It bit one of his friends finger off. They are mean and very mischevious. It is not illegal unless you live in the city. YOu shouldn't leave out of a cage in your home when you are not there it will shred damn near anything it can get hold of. They take a lot of care and clean up and i don't believe it is worth it to have one as a pet.
No they are dangerous animals and can not reliably be tamed.
It would be cruel to the raccoon. I knew some people who had one that they found after cutting down a tree. IT was VERY young when they adopted it. Within a year it was so big and wild that they had to get rid of it, but it had no idea how to fend for itself. They ended up having to put it down.
Save yourself the hassle.
I used to have raccoons for pets, yes they are cute for a while but when they get older they get mean.I have also raised some deer, squirrels, otters, wild rabbits, hawks, opossum and skunks. If you get a permit to own a wild animal its ok, but it also depends on what state you live. Wild animals do not make good pets, because they will always be wild. Get a ferret instead their fun
Check your local animal control laws, then the state for any restrictions on having wildlife as a pet. Because that's what they are, wildlife. Raccoons, on rare occasions can be kept as pets. They are very inquisitive creatures, nocturnal and can be destructive at times.
My suggestion if you want a raccoon for a pet is only have it while it is a baby---My childhood neighbor had one and after it got a little bit older it got very destructive, to the point where it destroyed furniture and walls and carpet. They came home to their house just trashed. I saw with my own eyes what they do. And also know that they carry some pretty serious bacterias in their fecal matter. It is rather dangerous.
