I typed a long explanation twice yesterday… but when I hit “submit” … I got an error application message and it erased my detailed explanation.   My third attempt, which is above, was brief.

(Sorry this is so long … but my last paragraph will explain why I want to list detail and get good advise.   Thank you for taking the time to read).

Below explains what I observed and did for Bonnie yesterday:      

I sat and monitored Bonnie all afternoon instead of doing some Christmas things.   Once I noted she was ill … my life stops to care for her.  She is our baby.   She had stopped eating, but she was still dropping some stool pellets.    I noted she had not drank much of her water during the night. I got her in my arms and lay her on my chest & I massaged her … rubbing her belly and spine.    (Note:  nerves come from the spine and it also helps to rub the spine to help them ).   I lay in a recliner and cuddled and massaged her for 20 min. at a time.  She got so relaxed and lay down her head and seem to enjoy this so much.    She began to nibble some on Cilatra, but then stopped eating again.   She would stretch out and lay, but I noted she was moving her body in some unusual ways …. so I knew she was uncomfortable and I suspected gas.   Then she would move into a meatloaf position and close her eyes and stay like this for a long time.    I called my vet and they were closed.   Last weekend we had a midnight emergency with our Akita and I woke my vet.  He  sent me to a new Night and Weekend Emerg. Clinic in our area.  I was not impressed with the vet at this clinic.    I decided if Bonnie got worse …I would then take her to the Emerg. Clinic.  … but I felt my care at home at that time would be better for her so I continued to massage her and monitor her.  

At 4pm, I gave Bonnie Mylicon.   I have never given this to her before.   From reading this forum in the past,  … I decided to buy a bottle and have just in case.    It seemed to help….. or all the massages and prayers helped too.   By 6pm she was eating and moving around much more.

This is when I checked her litter box again and noted the clear jelly like poop.    They are not the cecum … they are large just like her regular stool.     But they are in a cluster … I do  not see any mucous in the litter box.   The clear jelly like poop is sitting in a cluster.   I did scoop carefully from litter pan and had put in a container …… to show vet if we had to go.   

By 7:30 pm  (yesterday)  Bonnie was back to normal.    This morning she is great and running around and eating       

We have incurred a tremondous amount of vet bills on our Akita  in the last 4 months.  I really can not afford to take Bonnie to the vet right now just for a check if she is fine.   Of course if she was really sick again … I will take her.       I have two elderly parents that are both 87.  My dad has terminal cancer and my mother has been ill too.    I have spent a great deal helping them and my hubby has been out of work.   I will take Bonnie to the vet if these clear stools indicate a problem.     Can anyone advise ?  

Thank you Jersey Girl for the info and website.  

My bun has been doing very well since my last post on this subject.   I am thinking the same that you are …. I suspect she had mucus in her stomach and it did form and shape into fecal matter. …. but I will still contact the dr’s and let them know what she passed to see if there is any concern.    And no….. the jelly like stools did not look like any parasite.   I often check her litter box when I take it outdoors to dump it … to look for parasites and I have never found anything.    I live in the country and have a garden and many flowers …. so I use their litter droppings around my trees and plants.  

You asked …. has Bonnie had any stasis trouble before ? ….. yes, she has. … or at least I have thought so when she was sick a couple times before …. but she overcome it quickly in the past ….. always after I massage her spine.    This past time, is when she seemed  ill for over 7 hours.  

I do not know her age.   I adopted her 3 yrs ago.   I was unable to get any info on her.    When I first brought Bonnie home … I knew nothing about caring for a house rabbit, but I began researching immediately after getting her.    She had mushy stool the first few weeks after I brought her home.    I then learned to change her pellets to a better brand and the mushy stool problem vanished.    I have learned she is very sensitive to different brand pellets and she can only handle Oxbow Basic T at this time.  Dry Oatmeal flakes make her sick too.   

I give Bonnie less than 1/4 cup Oxbow pellets each evening.   She loves her pellets and goes crazy when she knows it is time to get them.    The night she got sick (last week)…. I gave her a little more of the Oxbow pellets than I do normally.    I am wondering if she has to be on a strict  limit now ?     

In addition to her Oxbow pellets, she gets unlimited Timothy Hay and fresh greens daily.   I limit her on carrots, apples, etc.  

I have another lop … she is a regular size rabbit with lop ears.   She can eat anything and NEVER gets sick.    Bonnie … my little sensitive girl, is a Dwarf Holland Lop.   Bonnie is also deaf.
