The vet did tests and x-rays and stuff but never mentioned anything more than the fact that Barney was going in GI stasis and there was gas built up in the GI tract so if there was something else going on, the vet wasn’t able to find and properly diagnose it and in his final moments he was showing signs that he was in quite a bit of pain and after…[Read more]

They moved his surgery date to next week ^_^
the sooner I can bond the better.

I went and got her a different bag of hay this morning and she’s barely eating from this one either.

Okay I will have to give that a go lol I did try mixing it with the banana baby food jar/carrot jar in the past but no go  I’m sorry about your bun, I’ve been reading up here and there about different treatments and use of penicillin G injections do seem pretty promising, I’m wondering if it is just down to a bad tooth that was missed or has…[Read more]

I’m so sorry for your loss and that you had to experience such a traumatic passing. 🙁

It is thought that when they scream in the final moments like that they have already lost consciousness, so it may be slightly comforting that he was probably not in a great deal of pain.

Did you discuss this with your vet? I know he has already been cremated,…[Read more]

Yes he will be fine! I’ve often had to take my buns to a pet sitter’s house for anywhere from one to three weeks. They are much more adaptable than you’d expect. 🙂

It’s only an hour each way. As long as you keep the setup the same, he should be OK staying there for 3 weeks and then going back.

And he’d be fine moving back up here after the 3 weeks are over? Sorry, just double checking to make sure i don’t misinterpret!

I agree, I don’t think you need to worry.

I’m definitely dreaming of an easier cleaning set-up! And having all their “stuff” in one spot!  I think if I kept the door open during the day when we are around it will be a good set-up for them, because they would still be allowed access to the same rooms they are now. I would def need to put some litter boxes around the house, but hopefully…[Read more]

I agree, 3 weeks is plenty of time for him to settle and 1 hour is not a long drive at all.

I usually like to keep the bun’s litter box slightly dirty when I move them to a new place. Having it already smell like them helps them adjust pretty quickly. 🙂

You might try mixing the med she doesnt like with some mashed banana. That usually works for my buns!

Sadly the bun I had with an abscess had some other serious issues going on and passed away. His abscess did resolve though (after a molar extraction and several weeks of pen-g injections). I think imaging is a good idea.

Hello,

The vet spoke with me today and I will be taking her in Tuesday to get a full x-ray of her head done to see what could be causing another abscess to pop up again. Probably best to get an overall picture just incase there was something missed. I’m still waiting for a quote on the price. I know abscesses can be difficult to heal and have a…[Read more]

Its not too short time imo. Its 3 weeks, plenty of time for him to settle in and enjoy the holidays with you.
