My brother came in this morning holding Lola, and said she'd just had diarrhea. Obviously I was a bit worried, I haven't changed her diet at all so I checked her bum. It wasn't that dirty, a little bit of waste but it was the genitals I noticed.
Her His penis looks swollen, I tried applying pressure to push it back and expose the actual penis but I couldn't, it looked like the skin wouldn't move.
Obviously I'm ridiculously worried, I don't think it's myxo as her eyes aren't swollen and I can't find any other symptons, just the diarrhea and the swollen genitals.
I can't get her to a vet today, but it'll be in the next day or two but any advice you can give me will help so much. Anyone experienced this kind of thing before? Know what it might be?
I hate not having a clue so a little information will help no end.
Thanks so much.

Hi everyone!
I just recently got two female Holland Lops that are sisters. They are about 10 weeks old. I named them Eva and Ella. I am totally new to rabbits and did my research before getting them but am now looking to get a book to reference as I sometimes find searching online totally overwhelming. So does anybody have any good care manuals or good rabbit books to reccomend?
Thanks!
Karyn, Eva and Ella :-)

Hey, once in a blue moon poster here and 'slave' of Daizy'; so I have a bit of an issue with um well a non house rabbit. My mom found a tiny wild rabbit in her garage and called the 'expert' over to fetch it... me... Now I'm not sure what to do with it, currently it's in a bathtub awaiting re-location. It's the re-location part I'm not so sure about. My parents don't want it in the yard (I think it's former home was under one of their small bushes) And I don't want to put it in the park because lots of dogs are in the parks around here. I know it's wrong but a part of me wants to keep the little guy/girl. It's extremely tiny, about the size of a hamster! So I'm not sure if it's one of those really tiny wild rabbits but is fully grown or if it's just a baby. All the other wild rabbits I've seen around here are the 'standard' wild rabbit size, though you wouldn't notice this size of rabbit easily either. What do I do?

I have had Sir Peaches for a little over a year now, and I've run into a litter box problem.
He was so easy to litter box train, but recently I started using some new litter that Sir Peaches didn't seem to like, and he stopped peeing in the litter box.
I've since changed the litter back to the old stuff, but he's still peeing outside of the litter box. I've tried to clean up after him to make sure there's no scent, but it's still happening and I'm not sure what to do.
Should I put another litter box in the new corner that he's peeing in? Because he's still using the other litter box, but two boxes for one bun seems a little excessive.
Please help!

A. Way too hot.
B. Way too crowded.
C. Way too expensive.
D. All of the above.
If you chose D then you have lived in Calgary long enough to be jaded by all the marketing hype and are probably also tired of seeing people in camo jams wearing wifebeaters and straw crushable cowbow hats.
I am glad I went, I should have gone at night, and I am glad I am not a sucker for the midway carnies and rides.

This is one of 2 possible bunnies I am getting! (The other one looks the exact same)
So any name suggestions??
My list of possibles: Mia (Mee-uh), Ivy, Scarlett, Ellie, Ashlyn (after 2 people I know, Ashtyn, and Ashley) Harley, Olive.
I am getting a girl bunny (from a breeder, so I'm assuming she knows what she is talking about)
So what do you think??

"Once again we face a paradox, for it appears that softening your heart
and gently tending its wounds _will protect you from evil. Building a
fortress and defending yourself behind it will only make you more
vulnerable. Healing your own heart is the single _most powerful thing you
can do to change the world. Your own transformation will enable you to
withdraw _so completely from evil that you contribute to it by not one
word, one thought, or one breath."

Hello, just finally joined a bunny place since being a bunny owner for quite a while now and I have to say, this place is filled with adowable bunny pics! So amusing!
Anyway, I can't spam you guys with pics of my 2 bunnies just yet, because while I do have a MILLION pics and videos, they're all on my laptop, which recently crashed...hopefully I'll be able to save all those files tomorrow. T^T
I still have a couple, though, so I created a bunspace for mah bunnehs~

since we moved to a new place, we're looking to dedicate a corner of our studio to egmont and a potential girlfriend for him. my bf wants to build our own gate/pen, but i dont know what to put on top of the carpet so that their waste matter doesn't soak/stain the carpet. what materials do you guys recommend? (it's an area of 6x4) we're making a trip to walmart tonight, so any answers would be greatly appreciated! thanks!

| Fabric Stores? |
[07 Jul 2008|03:17pm] |

I'm in the NE (Marlborough, actually), and I frequent both Michael's and the Malborough Mall Wal*Mart all the time. However, Michael's doesn't seem to have any fabrics or patterns (the employees have been rather less than helpful in that regard, as it seems to be very hard to track them down for question-asking purposes, sadly), and while Wal*Mart does have some, their selection isn't the best. Does anyone know of any other fabric or craft stores in Calgary (particularly any that are easy to get to via transit, as I don't drive)? Any assistance anyone can provide would be most appreciated.

My sweet little lion head passed away last night. She lived in my home for over four years. I am worried about her other friend a lop. He seems indifferent regarding her passing away. But he is sick with a head tilt and I am worried this could make his condition worse.
Should I worry or will he be fine? I thought I should syringe feed him the two times I give him medication. Just to be on the safe side. Would that be over doing it?
It all baffles me. They all have the same food to eat, yet she managed to get a GIS. Some of my other rabbits eat far worse then she ever did. But she still got sick.

Hey everyone
Does anyone know if doctors will still write letters to allow one to go on stress leave from work?

My parents are moving, so all of the things that have been collected over the years (and there are many, many things) are being torn from their hiding places and considered for sale/giving/abandonment. Yesterday, mum asked me to go through the piles of old school stuff they have for us, so I sat down and started reading through old report cards (I can't just look and say "Ok, don't need a report card from grade three" I have to read the whole report card first, then it can go to recycling.) In a lot of elementary school, and most of highschool, I was a notoriously bad listener. I honestly didn't care for the subjects being taught, so I thought about things that interested me. Which, as a kid, was "Fantasy Land" a place my friends and I had made up (I say this nonchalantly, but it was a big deal back then), and in Highschool was Angel and Ophie letters between ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) missingiris and I. So as I was reading report cards, I was kind of laughing "Doesn't pay sufficient attention in class." "Homework impeeded by out-of-school activities." Yeah, sounds like me, and I'm still getting As in English, SS, Art and Drama...it's just Math and Science I suck at. At the same time I was looking at old pictures and thinking "Why did I think I was so fat and ugly? I wasn't fat and ugly!"
Then I came across my grade nine report card, and went through the comments section from my teachers, I found out two things:
1. In grad 9, I got an A in gym class at 91%
2. My P.E. teacher wrote on my report card that my body impeded my participation in class.
From her comment, it sounded like I was failing, but clearly this was not the case. The truth is, when I was younger and no one had told me to be ashamed of my body, I used to be a runner. I competed in (and my team came second in one year) the cross-district tri-k. I loved to run, it was nice, it felt good, got me places. I actually played on my school's basketball team as well. And then I hit the beginning of puberty and at the same time as I started to grow breasts, someone told me for the first time that I was fat and ugly. And running died, and sports died, and I started to do the only thing I knew how to do to cope with being so hideous and awful, which was slowly withdrawing into myself.
I realize now that I really saw my body as paradoxically distorted as my gym teacher did. On one hand, it was clearly not impeding me in doing things I loved (including getting fresh air and exercise!) but because it was fat, I believed that it was inherently wrong and hurting me. So even though there was evidence there that I was doing well, not really that hated at all, not horribly disgusting, I still saw only what people had always told me was the problem: being fat.
I really want to go back and shake myself until I come to my senses- my behavior these days is still dysfunctional, but I'm trying to figure that out with some help. I just wish I had learned sooner that what I was feeling about myself was NOT the truth.

Any of you folks who are in the birls2 group, check out the video I posted from the late show of Fake Mustache this last Thursday and tell me what you think of the strip tease I did.
