I’m so, so sorry!  I’m amazed at the bond you two had.  She sounds like an incredible bunny, and she took such great care of you.  You must be a special person for her to trust you like that.  I’m really sorry that you’re feeling so alone, and hope that you can find within yourself the part of you that can still feel connected to her on some lev…[Read more]

I’m so sorry!!  You’ve loved and cared for her so well.  Did you bury her with treats?  We are doing the same thing with Teddy — at least with things like his favorite dried flowers and willow and plantain leaves.

Big hugs to you — this kind of pain is so hard.

We truly are so happy to help, as Dana says  We’d love to hear how she fares!

Thanks so much, LBJ.  That is really kind of you.  I definitely feel like the lucky one.

“Oh it seems I’ve a bit of a stomach ache, I’d better just curl up and die”

LOL!!

Excellent news! So happy to hear she’s turned the corner. 😀 And we are very happy to help!

Oh that’s good to know about the adhesions! I read about complications previous to Rue’s surgery just to be prepared since Rue is a notoriously finicky bunny but I didn’t quite understand what caused adhesions to form.

And wow so true what your friend said Bam! That made me chuckle.

I am happy to report that last night and today Rue seems to be…[Read more]

I too think you shouldnt start worrying about adhesions just yet. According to my very bunny savvy vet, adhesions mostly occur if the spaying vet touches/messes with the intestines during the spay surgery. Adhesions typically do not manifest right after the spay procedure,  they require some time to form.

The buprenorphine study is very…[Read more]

To my understanding, Children’s Benadryl formulas no longer use the problematic sweetener, which is xylitol. Sucrose, sucralose, and sorbitol (the last of which I believe is what is in the bubblegum flavor) are all safe. I personally used Bubble Gum flavor for one of my rabbits.

Interesting about buprenorphine! I do think the benefits usually outweigh the risks even with some risk of GI slowing (my senior bun is currently on daily tramadol for arthritis pain which has similar concerns as it’s also an opioid), but was just thinking about all possible contributing factors.

Not sure about adhesions. I don’t think I would…[Read more]

Oh you know I hadn’t even thought of dosing the metacam twice a day! Now that I think about it, I’m pretty sure the vet said I can break her does up into 2 but honestly I’ve been so sleep deprived I completely forgot. Thank you so much for that advice! I will try that.

I also read that study about Buprenorphine as has my vet who also is hesit…[Read more]
