You can put fur over and wrap with self-adhesive vet wrap, but it is not unproblematic. Most rabbits really hate all kinds of bandages and will try their best to rip them off. If the rabbit succeeds in pulling out the fur that lines the wrap, the wrap itself is abrasive.

Putting a cone on a rabbit to prevents it from reaching the wraps comes with…[Read more]

The only herb of those you have listed I haven’t fed, is fenugreek. It is most likely fine in small amounts.

Dried peas are not recommended and not dried corn kernels. Oat seed heads are somewhat rich, but often highly appreciated and not too hard on the tummy.

When a bun is fighting meds and syringed food, it is generally a good sign. It means there is some strenght.

The breathing difficulties are very worrisome. Is her tummy hard and distended?

Keep up the supportive measures as best you can.

Thank you HipHopBunny! I could try that. 🙂

I added a warning, for sensitive readers.

I’m very sorry that you are going through this.

His bonded mate knows something isnt right, and with the very keen sense of smell that rabbits have, I’d not be surprised if she identifies the lump as something abnormal. Cancer cells have a genome which is very different from the healthy cells of the…[Read more]

They haven’t really improved or changed at all. *Sigh* This is not fair! These three found each other through speed dating, just like MoonLightBunny and Louiethebunny! How come we haven’t bonded already? 😆 I hear you on that though, sometimes they are great friends, other times they can barely tolerate each other! 😥 So this is the best…[Read more]

Sometimes I think the marathon (or other really long sessions, doesn’t necessarily have to be 24/7) can be what finally makes them realize the other rabbit just isn’t going away so they better sort things out for good. Especially when bonding has been going on a long time, it almost seems to me like they can get settled into the status quo and not…[Read more]

Well, there still are a few times where Silver, ahem, chases Smokey around the room. 🙁 Not too happy about that. Although they still get along pretty well on other occasions, so I’m torn about trying a marathon…eh, I should just do it and get it over with, right? 😆

Here’s a picture of them snuggling!

They most likely even it out. 🙂 If you are worried though, and/or you do see Muffin getting a bit of a tummy, what you could do, is have them eat half of their dinner/breakfast in food dishes, then sprinkle the rest over their pen. I do agree, it strengthens their bond to eat together, hopefully doing half and half will do the trick. 🙂

Would it be okay to put some mushed banana on the mouth piece of the syringe? I did that with my bunny and when he would nibble the banana I would squeeze a bit of the medicine into his mouth. Maybe that will help. I hope she feels better soon. 💜

UPDATE ON PIPPIN

she’s not doing well and I’m breaking my heart for her she’s slowed right down and gets into such a terrible state when I’m trying to syringe fluids into her I’m finding very little hard pieces of poop but just stuck to her. I live in a very small village in a valley and we all rely on two vets neither of which will see her as I’…[Read more]

Thanks princedorian! I think it was that they were housed next to each other for almost two months before starting bonding sessions. 6 weeks was to let them recover from the neuters. Then I let them see each other. I started prebonding a few days after and cage swapped morning and night. I used stunt doubles too.

I also think their personalities…[Read more]

I’m very sorry sheisnt doing well. Sulfatrim is an antibiotic that’s often prescribed for airway infections. As all antibiorics it can have some negative effects on the tummy.

Infacol is a brand of simeticone baby gas drops that is sold OTC in England, but I dont know about Wales.

I’m sorry she’s still unwell, but I’m glad she made it through the night. Not sure about the UK, but in the US the Simethicone is over the counter.
