Thank you so much for your help. I was so worried and didn’t know if I should be doing more for her at the time so I seriously appreciate you helping me out. And the advice of trying different CC worked a charm, we’ve found one she really likes which will be really handy if she ever gets sick again. Hopefully she’ll not have to use it for a long…[Read more]

I’m so sorry for your loss

Agree with Bam that she sounds like she is really on the mend, so you likely won’t need to syringe feed as often soon!

50 poops is not bad!

You shouldnt need to syringe feed her full time now when she seems to be on the mend. I had a bun that needed full time feeding for quite some time, he got about 90-100 ml CC (mixed volume) per day, divided into 4-5 meals. It does get a lot easier with practice both for the caretaker and the bun, but I definitely agree it’s…[Read more]

That helps a lot just to know other’s experiences! Thank you! I know every bunny’s different but just hearing what other people have been through help me gauge what I’m going through. She’s had about 50 poops of varying sizes throughout the night and morning. I was prepared for the abnormal shapes and sizes. I’m just hoping after today that she’…[Read more]

I’m glad she’s doing so much better!

It’s really not possible to say how long it takes until the bun gets back to normal eating habits. My girl bun started eating like an hour after she came home from her spay, but I still gave her about 10-15 ml (mixed volume) CC per day for 3 days. She was sent home with pain meds (meloxicam) for 5 days, I…[Read more]

Yes pain management has seemed to be the trick with Rue not just for her spay but for all he Stasis bouts too. She is definitely more alert this morning and has more personality. Not herself yet and back at the vet for another day of feeding since she’s still not eating enough on her own. In either of your experience how long does it take for e…[Read more]

Wonderful 😃

Rabbits can really feel quite out of it post surgery, especially if they dont get proper pain management. My current foster, a young male, got way too little pain meds after his neuter last month, I had to give him an additional dose in the middle of the night. After that he quickly started to recover and after just a few hours he was…[Read more]

Amazing news! Those first strands of hay are always such a huge relief!

We have poop! And she ate a couple strands of hay on her own too but literally just like 2. She’s pooped twice but she’s still not really eating yet so I’m going to take her back to the vet today for more monitoring, fluids, and hand feeding since they are feeding her every hour. Although I have to say seeing her pick up and eat just those 2 stran…[Read more]

Is he neutered? It could be territorial marking?

Other possibilities are a UTI, but at his age I would suspect territorial marking first (esp with the single poops scattered as well).

Oh gosh! That does explain things why she was so uncomfortable. How did she do overnight?

I’m so sorry Meg 🙁

Saying he was a lucky bun to have you is a huge understatement, and you really did everything you could to help him have a peaceful and comfortable passing.

Bunny colds can be very stubborn. There are many different kinds of antibiotics, not all bacteria are sensitive to the same antibiotics. Sometimes you need to give a combination of antibiotics, and you might have to treat for several weeks.

It seems a bit odd that your vet found sth unusual with his lungs but said there’s nothing to be done about…[Read more]

Hugs to you and yours.

That last spa treatment and cuddles was his last gift to you.  Remember that when times get tough.

What a lucky bum he was to have you.

Meg, I’m so sorry 💔

It seems he went peacefully. Rabbits tend to seize in the agonal phase, not rarely do they also cry out. It is believed they’re nolonger aware at that stage.

Teddy was the luckiest of rabbits. He was magical, and so are you!

I feel it helps to know you’ve done everything you possibly could. You really did everything. It…[Read more]

That would explain why she wasnt feeling at all well, if she hadnt had any pain meds!

It can absolutely take 24-48 hours, sometimes even longer, before you get poop after a bout of not eating much. So it is important to keep feeding her, even if she doesnt appreciate it. She will forgive you once this is over.

I’m sorry to say, Teddy passed away a few hours ago, while I was holding him.  Just after I last wrote, it was time for Teddy’s medicine and spa times, and as I didn’t know what was going to happen, I wanted him to have his pain meds and all.  He actually took them pretty well and then we had a surprisingly peaceful snuggle time with him on my l…[Read more]
