Oh poor Pepe, I hope he bounces back!
((((VIBES)))))

Gosh, that sort of reminds me of what it’s like when you have dental work done. When the lip or cheek is numb and you have trouble talking/drinking/eating. Could he have lost some feeling in the mouth maybe?
{{{Pepe!}}}

Vibes for Pepe!!!1 Poor little man, hope he gets the nommies going soon.

oh Pepe, I’ve had so much dental work done, I completely feel for you poor boy. Maybe the gum was just nicked or something accidental like that. ((((healing vibes for Pepe and Sarita)))))

Keep us updated, Kathy

Aww Pepe. Poor man. Leroy, Jeannie and I send snuggles and lots of healthy mouth vibes!!!!

eat pepe eat!!! poor dude
(((((((((vibes)))))))))

-wiggles arms-

vvvvvvvvveeeeyyyyyeeeebbbbssssss

How is he doing now?  Get better vibes.

{{{{{Pepe}}}}}}}}

Get better Pepe! Sarita, I hope he is already over the hill…. dental work — yikes!

I hope that Pepe bounces back and is his usual self soon.  The fact that he still jumps up to be with you is a good sign, I would think.

((((Pepe vibes!)))) Stop scaring your mama! Hugs Sarita. Let us know how he does.

Pepe is the one in your avatar, right?

(((((((((((((((((Get better soon Pepe)))))))))))))))

How big is Pepe, Sarita? I’ve been trying to judge him by the NIC grids, to me he looks like a good sized bunny!

{{{VIBES}}} for Pepe!!

How is he doing Sarita ?

I was wondering if something didn’t go quite right this time, so am glad you’re bringing him back in.

{{{{{{{{{{{{Get better, fast, Mr. Pepe}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Oh Pepe….please feel better! ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Pepe))))))))))))))))))))))))) Please don’t worry your mama (and all of us too) like this!
I’m with RP, perhaps the vet missed something? Either way, hope he recovers soon!

Come on, Pepe, have a bite. I hope you seriously get some good news tomorrow

((((prayers and vibes for both of you))))

Oh gosh, come on Pepe you must feel better for your mother’s sake!!! {{{{{{{{{{{{{VIBES PEPE}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Poor baby feel better!!!!! My thoughts are with you!!

have you been to the vet with pepe yet?

(((((((((vibes)))))))))

Maybe it’s a case of sluggish GI motility that needs a few days to resolve.

Maybe Pepe wants you to take him to work with you where you can handfeed him little morsels all day.

That’s not fair. You should institute rabbit days where the dog has to stay home.

well isn’t pepe just a silly goose? i’m sure he’s enjoying the attention
i hope this passes soon!

literally, passes soon….come Pepe boy, show us some poops!

Hope she is feeling better today!!

Sarita, I know your hay is the best of the best (APD) but check it for fleas too.

Have a fecal float done Sarita because it just hit me that Pepe might have ingested the flea dirt by grooming it off and it could have given him tapeworms. It would take a heavy worm load though to cause abdominal trouble for a bunny.

Sorry, really gross, but it takes several poo samples to find tapeworm eggs, so hopefully Pepe will get pooping soon.

Personally, I only ever test one member in my pet species and if they are positive — I treat everybody. So when one of my dogs had roundworms, I wormed both dogs, and when Mops had mites, I too, treated Lint (I only had two rabbits at that time). The reason for this is that sometimes a parasite test comes back negative even though the animal is in fact infested.
I just looked at my Revolution leaflet and it does not treat tapeworms.

There is also a blood test that looks for an antigen that is produced if tapeworms are present. Don’t know if they perform this test on rabbits, but you could ask.

Pepe, now you frightening all of us, please eat for Sarita!

(((((heavy duty vibes and prayers for pepe and you)))))

{{{{{HEALING VIBES}}}}} I was researching about keeping bugs out of the hay & came across diametacious earth (food grade)! Hope I spelled that right! LOL! This type of earth is high in minnerals & kills all types of bugs! The edges are sharp but will not harm animals or humans! Not only will it kills fleas ticks etc, but also parasites inside the body! If you use very little dusting in the hay, when the animal consumes it, it works inside of them as well as protecting the hay! you can also use it in there cages to prevent bacteria! I also use eucalyptus oil & peppermint oil (pure) just a few drops of each in an ounce of water I spray everything in the house including the animals to repel fleas & ticks etc! I had found a tick on my Buttercup & the vet said I couldn’t use anything for a bunny, so being a natural health consultant, I researched natural alturnatives!

PEPE!!! What’s going on buddy?!

(((((((VIBES!!!)))))))

sorry I did spell that wrong, it’s diatomaceous earth food grade!

c’mon pepe…. eat already! (((((((((pepe)))))))))

Any improvement today?

That does sound very encouraging, like when you are almost over the flu and feel better, but haven’t gotten your appetite back yet.
Is he pooping normally by now?

{{{{{{{{{{Get better, Pepe}}}}}}}}}}}

Healing vibes for Pepe!!!!

I’m sorry I haven’t seen this thread before now, but I really hope he is doing better today!

Sending major munchie vibes! (((Pepe)))

What is going on with Pepe now?

Will she check him for tapeworms? They can cause a blockage in rabbits.

goodness… that’s so odd. good that he doesn’t seem to be in pain but why won’t he eat??? is he fasting for religious purposes perhaps? i sure hope the vet can shed some light for you this time!

(((((((((pepe)))))))))

I hope all goes well at the vet!

Any news??

Is he eating a bit today?

((((Super Healing Vibes for Pepe))))

I hope he is better once you get home!

fingers crossed that this trim did the trick!!!

(((((((((get better vibes for pepe!)))))))))

Come on Pepe, give your mom some good news.

PEPE eat for your momma, we are all really worried for the both of you! You poor lil bunny, we all know what it’s like to get work done on our teeth, & the stress that’s involved! Now it’s time to get better, your momma needs you to!

Poor Pepe, he just can’t catch a break can he?
Well, stiff upper lip and all that, Pepe boy…let’s see you have a little somethin’ to nom, hm? (((((((((((((((((((sends feel better and voracious appetite vibes)))))))))))))))))

((((many munchie vibes)))))

Come on’ Pepe, eat soon! Official order: “Nom Nom Now!”

It’s funny you mention fleas, I don’t know what is going on around here, but it’s the worst flea season ever. (and Jack and Viv haven’t been outside in a year) but it’s easy to pick them up from other animals, or even just from the grass outside. For the first time ever Advantage did not work on Jack. I thought it had to be from having sub-q fluids all the time, (maybe hydrated his skin more or ???) but the vet said that wouldn’t affect it, so we switched to Revolution which took longer to knock them out then Advantage did but it did at least work, AND we got a flea spray for the house from vet. (of course bunnies were secured away safely during the house treatment) That took care of it, but never have we had such a problem.

>>>>Loads and loads of eating vibes for Pepe<<<<<< Come one, Pepe, your momma is going to be very upset with you if you don't eat soon!

YES!!! Keep on nomming those greens Pepe!!!

Pepe will give you grey hair, Sarita.

Petzy, I think Sarita’s feeling more optimistic because I’ve never heard her call him a brat before 😉

Oh yes! Come on Pepe! You can do it! *breaks out pom-poms again for a nomming cheer*

lolz…Grey hares…er I mean HAIRS…lol. Yup. Definitely a side effect of bunny slavedom!

And wow…I never knew a rabbit could slither…that must be fun to watch!

Back from my little vacation… I was hoping Pepe would be entirely recovered!

(((Continued vibes!!!)))

well the little fronds of dill and basil leaves is at least something in the right direction! no kidding re:being happy to see him eating the pellets. sheesh. (((((((((more vibes to pepe)))))))))

ps… glad he is staying mischievous. good sign even tho he’s giving you grey ;P

will he eat some hay now too?

Would he eat the pellets if you made a slurry of them for him?

Perhaps you need to cut his veggies into tiny pieces? Jack used to have his veggies cut into small fingernail sizes, but once he had problems with his molars, he refused to eat anything unless it was cut into even smaller pieces (except for basil and other herbs though that didn’t require chewing as much).

{{{nomming vibes}}} *hugs*

I bet you could make a veggie slurry, too. Don’t athletes sometimes use greens or fruits in a food processor and blender to have a green health drink? Maybe some totally ground greens and carrots would taste good to him. A veggie smoothie.

[[[[[[[[[[[more nommie vibes, Pepe}}}}}}

Sending some more vibes to Pepe.

{{{{Get Better Pepe}}}}}

yes a green smoothie! you can chuck in his fav greens, some water and a teeny bit of fruit to sweeten the deal

It sounds like Pepe is getting the best of out his sick days with his momma That’s really nice to hear. I really hope he will get better soon, and you sound hopeful which is so great to hear.

Do you give him metacam? I guess you do because I recall that you have used that before.

when i give pinky a couple tablespoons of my green smoothie she licks it right up… but ya, if you had to syringe feed it… well… i know how stressful that can be!

you’re so sweet sarita… such a good bunny mum

(((((((((pepe)))))))))

Aww…I’m a bit jealous…your bunneh gets beddy snuggles with you! ^_^
*sigh* ‘Wish Mimzy was good enough for that and wouldn’t just ‘ninja pee’ whenever his feet hit the blankets!

((((((((((((((((((feel better toofy vibes, Pepe!)))))))))))))))))))

(((Pepe)))

Sarita, how is he doing now?
