After reading through this thread, I was going to ask if the medication was flavored. Most medications are not manufactured for rabbits, so it isn’t unusual for them to come flavored to entice dogs. Hopefully getting a sweet version will help.

I’m sorry to hear your other bunny is unwell. This isn’t something you want to hear, especially after…[Read more]

I’m glad to hear she is doing better with the meds. I know it can be hard to find the right combination of things.

I’m glad you’re working so closely with the vet It seems very likely that it’s the meat flavor that’s making her refuse the med. Some buns even panic if they sense the owner cooking meat in the kitchen.

From what I can find Vetmedin helps the heart beat stronger and also dilates the blood vessels so the heart doesnt have to work so hard.…[Read more]

Thank you for your feedback. Possibly and sadly bunny’s hide things very well and the signs may be difficult to read. For my part, I did go for my first check up with her and only because I was worried she would have to suffer the same destiny like Adi. Before I only went to the vet when there was an issue or concern. When we went to the Vet on M…[Read more]

I don’t have personal ecperience with this. It seems likely that (congenital) heart conditions are under-disgnosed in rabbits -many rabbits die very suddenly without seeming go have been ill, and the owner never gets to know the cause.

An enlarged heart doesn’t happen suddenly, and it’s only been a short time since your Adi passed.l, so that’s…[Read more]

Unfortunately, she does not take the medicine. I’ve tried everything. Hidden in banana, on dill, on her fav. pellet on floor, on table. She refuses to take it on her own and she panics when the techniques for administering meds are done like in videos on YT such as keeping their body between the legs or in the arm (while their feet/body is…[Read more]

I’m very sorry to hear about the sudden news, but you now have the knowledge and that is most important.

To start, from my years of rabbit advocacy and care experience, I recommend NOT concerning yourself much at all with how this came about, whether it’s grief, congenital, etc. It doesn’t change the reality and your energy and motivation will be…[Read more]

Congratulations!! Bonding 6 adult rabbits is definitely a feat.

Though you bring up a very understandable challenge with the litterbox Tetris situation, haha. Best of luck! You got over the hardest part though.

I like alllll of these ideas! I’m thinking it should be more like a binder then a notebook easy access to specific pages or adding more to it

Sorry just seen these replies! Thank you for all the advice. The routine has been going well! We are committed to following through as she very much needs her medication, she’s been quite up and down lately unfortunately. She is on an aggressive pain management plan with 3 pain meds + a stomach protectant with mild stimulation properties, so it’s…[Read more]

I had a bun (Bam) who chopped his teeth so loud it could be heard into another room. This hapoened when he was super-relaxed and comfo and melted into my mum’s lap. (He loved my mum and always wanted to hop into her lap for cuddles). So the loudness doesnt necessarily mean it’s not purring. Teeth chopping in a poorly bun tends to be accompanied by…[Read more]

Teeth grinding is often associated with pain, but it’s all about context. Some rabbits like to bathe in the sun and warmth (why is beyond me considering they’re wearing fur coats 24/7) and the grinding can come from relaxation. As LBJ mentions, it could also be disapproval with the weather.

Also, because rabbit owners can be very attentive, it…[Read more]

I had a bunny who would grind his teeth when he was very displeased about something. It was typically one sharp grind though. It was loud. He would do it when, for example, I had stopped him from doing something he wasn’t supposed to be doing. I have never heard of tooth grinding because it is hot. I would say to just keep an eye. If he’s still…[Read more]
