Wonderful news!

With rabbits is considered a good thing when they fight their meds, with the exception of buns that are on really long term meds. (I had a bun that was on life-long medication, he actually came hopping into the kitchen when he heard I was prepping his meds 😄) But for short-time medication like in your case, a feisty bun is a bun…[Read more]

Here are some methods to demonstrate medicating techniques: https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Medicating_your_rabbit#Oral_medication

The more regular and successful you are with it, the more the rabbit begins to settle into it. No rabbit will enjoy it if they don’t inherently enjoy the medication, but over time, they’ll become desensitized. Keep trying!

Update on Nala:

She has finished her pain meds and continues to take her antibiotic/probiotic. She does NOT like taking her meds. They are liquid via syringe and I am struggling to administer them to her. She is back to her fiesty self making it extremely difficult to administer her medication I tried tricking her by putting it in food but she…[Read more]

It sounds like the antibiotic and pain meds kicked in and she’s starting to feel better. You did good taking her to the emergency vet. She definitely needed help.

It’s possible. The new bed is something “strange” that was introduced into her territory. That “new” smell might be setting her off too.

It does seem she’s on the mend!

There is some evidence that keeping up the probiotics for like a week after the course of antibiotics can be highly beneficial…[Read more]

It sounds like she has rounded a corner! fingers crossed she keeps improving!

So I just looked up bunny noises and it was him grunting not growling 😊

Thanks for responding to my post so quickly.  I’ve had my mom keep a close eye on her today and she has reported that Nala has been eating, moving around, her ears are room temperature, and she has been using the restroom regularly.  She is drinking water out of a small ceramic bowl (I watched her drink out of it for several minutes yesterday a…[Read more]

Haha totally get it! Bunnies can be very funny about what bothers them. :p

Okay that’s what I was thinking 😊 I did explain to my daughter that he is telling her to stop.

usually I’m right there but I stepped out of the room and she told me the bunny was making a weird noise and she said it sounded like he was tooting. So I had her show me what she was doing with the bunny when he did that and he did it again and tha…[Read more]
