Nomnoms loves her greens but its Craisins she craves. I am also getting some pureed apple and banana baby food and I have a satchel of Critta Care (its an Aussie made critical care) a friend who is a vet nurse said she would come and do fluids etc if there was any problems… I have 3 more girls to be done after this… I have been dreading the process and have run out of excuses..

I won’t be able to cope if I lose any of my girls….. There has been a lot of incidents of Floppy Bunny lately especially following surgery… I have changed their pellets for one with a higher vit E content and more varied Fescue, Oat and Lucern hay base for higher fibre and less fat. Piglet really needs the higher protein for his coat but I will just have to find other things to supplement his diet even if I just continue to blend the pellets.

Thanks BG, I got a hospital cage yesterday and of course there is now a bunny in Wanneroo Pound that needs to be yoinked and fostered. I just don’t have room. I’ve had to push all the furniture back in the lounge room to make room for Starsky (who is staying now) during the renos, now the temps are shooting up and the backroom will be too hot.. I have to get the spays done so I can start bonding and get everyone into the rabbit room. (which they are all going to have to be moved out of for 3 days whilst the peed on carpet is stripped and the tiles laid) We have a foster home for the pound bunny in Rockingham but S/he will have to be vet checked and speutered first then temp cared for a few days before going to the permanent foster. I think I am just so stressed because I am trying to do too much at once and worry that I will be distracted when Nomnoms needs me most.

Re Floppy Bunny…
Here in WA and NO they all crossed the bridge suddenly and within a few hours…

My Pepper is the most beautiful girl, I am not the least bit prejudice Pepper will be the last one to be spayed as she is the alpha bun.. It worries me as she is now 2.5 yrs old but my vet agreed that as the alpha bun she needed to go last due to Pipi’s desire to usurp the throne… Peppers will be the hardest…

All different vets so I can’t be sure… One could have been saved, maybe… But the person caring for her once worked as a vet assist in summer holidays and poopoo’d all suggestions. Even when the poor girl was obviously trying to eat the carer just would not try anything she thought was different… I know things about this carer and will be making moves to have her removed from foster carer lists.

I got it at My Pet Warehouse but it is a Vetafarm product so it is probably available in a lot of places… Do you have City Farmers in SA ?

Its called Critta Care – Herbivores… It’s the same as critical care it’s just the Australian brand from Vetafarm

I also added to resealable satchels of banana and apple puree (pure no added sugar, water or preservatives) from Coles. They are like a $1.50 each, vaccuum sealed with a screw off cap. Brand is Ella’s Kitchen 100% organic. Should mix well with the Critta Care if needed or just work as a tasty treat to encourage eating all by itself.

Dropped her at the vet about and hour ago….. Trying not to think on it too much… I just want my little girl back home and safe…

JG… My Pet Warehouse is also online and do a standard Australian delivery fee of about 6 dollars… I picked up some great stuff from them in the past.. http://www.mypetwarehouse.com.au

Just noticed My Pet Waarehouse has free shipping all weekend for orders up to 120 kg… Some exclusions like large kennels and hutches..

They have it in stock.

Hi JG,
Better now… I was a bit worried when she wouldn’t eat or drink anything that day but I left her in peace to give her a chance to relax.. When she still had not had anything by the morning I syringed fluids and managed to get quite a bit into her and when she started lapping the syringe I knew I was on the right track. She still would not eat but there was poop and pee in small amounts. I eventually managed to get her to have one tiny piece of hay before I went out and when I came home two hrs later she was sitting next to the big hay tray having a feed of meadow hay. This afternoon she has finally started showing an interest in greens again… The big concern are the hot days we have coming, I am leaving her in the palypen with the door of the room closed so I can’t run the cooler in there, plus Blossom ate the flyscreen and I haven’t been able to get it fixed yet so I can’t open the window to let the breeze in without 10,000 mosquitoes and flies coming in too. And of course they ate the cord of the rechargeable bug zapper and have knocked over their Xpen so I can’t put a plug in one in the room. They are going to turn me prematurely grey…..
I have been following Maples updates and sending vibes your way….

Nommie started lapping out of the water bowl just before I went out yesterday… That made me feel a lot better… She usually isn’t much of a drinker at all.
