Thank you for your reply, it means a lot. Yes Adi also couldn’t walk, couldn’t see properly. He tried to change his position sometimes where he sat (I took him out of course as well), and when he was without pillow he laid down on his side and often trying to get up. It must have been so hard for him, it was so painful to watch. He was so strong…[Read more]

We all go through the “what ifs” in our heads. You can’t let that eat away at you and spoil your memories of him. He was clearly declining and not experiencing the best quality of life. His death was inevitable, whether he was put to sleep now or weeks from now, or if he died on his own. We often dwell on whether it was “time” or not. I struggled…[Read more]

I also just realized that I went to a clinic (which I phoned before) that I actually did not intend to go to  initially. I was aware from before of an emergency hospital in that neighboring city I went to but I guess phoned the emergency clinic instead. My gosh I think I was not thinking clearly, the heat, lack of sleep, panic/worry. The clinic I…[Read more]

Thank you for your kind replies, it means a lot.

I did some research and here the law seems to say that a vet is not allowed to keep a pet as it’s considered property of the owner. If they assume neglect or cruelty, they can report it to the Veterinary Office and it’s the Veterinary Office that decides anything further. That would mean that the…[Read more]

I’m sorry to hear you lost Adi. Please know that you didn’t do anything wrong, and that you did everything you could do. I absolutely agree with Bam. Most bunnies become infected with EC when they are young. They can be asymptomatic all their lives. And then, when old age weakens their immune system, EC will rear its ugly head. EC is difficult to…[Read more]

I’m so so sorry you lost Adi. He seems like the most wonddrful of companions ❤️❤️❤️ I’m glad you still have his partner.

Where I am, a vet can’t release a suffering animal back to the owner, that’s the law. The vet must have considered him beyond all chances of meaningful recovery. How a vet decides that varies between vets, vet clinics and aso…[Read more]

Hello dear community, I will provide an update under the rainbow bridge thread :/

I would be interested to know if you were present when your bunny was put to sleep or if you know how people usually go about it. For me she took him to another room. I couldn’t see him being given to him. Also, what do you think of the demeanor of the emergency vet for not wanting to give it a try with the fluids etc.? Do you think it is…[Read more]

Tracking for vaccinations, wellness visits, blood work, nail trims….

I like the “About Me” section idea. Agree on organizing by date, I use a calendar at the moment and it’s useful to flip back and check when I last did something.

Maybe a template/page for Pet Sitter instructions with Vet + Emergency Contact info? I know every time I go to the vet they ask me the same questions about food, so having a place to…[Read more]

I found our female on a rehoming bunny fb group in our area. We wanted a spayed female and she was the only spayed available at the time. So we took her and I fear she was neglected quite a bit as she’s very distrusting of humans. She only likes Oliver. We have tried just sitting with her and giving her treats etc but it’s been over 2 years now…[Read more]

Just to chime in on the off chance it helps: my two girls also got along fine but would still get into occasional spats, mostly over food. Only one of them would try to hump, but they didn’t have an obvious “boss” between them. I did notice they would sometimes guard the litterbox from each other; usually one would already be in the box and when…[Read more]

I believe they’re bonded…I mean, they snuggle, they clean each other, they are always together, but at the same time, it seems they are always challenging each other. Our female is more fearful and our male is very curious and brave. So he’s usually the one who is in charge, but she’ll occasionally challenge him. I caught her draping herself…[Read more]

I would find organization by date helpful. Sort of like an old-school agenda.

I agree with Greg the Lionhead I’ve bonded six rabbits and I have five litters. I have two rabbits that will pee constantly on the floor drives me nuts the others they seem to be OK my one girl she stands outside of her litter and eats the hay. Maybe yours is doing the same I have a large high sided cat litter. I’ve seen all six of them in one…[Read more]
