Thanks for the reassurance <3

TBH, some oval poops here and there are not the biggest concern. I think it will be fine. Just keep up with the brushing.

Ok thank you!

Megacolon is genetic and apparent by a particular coat pattern (mentioned in the Wabbitwiki link), so based on your profile picture, unlikely.

If you’re brushing your rabbits x3/week right now, they must be molting so the occasional oval poops are likely fur-filled/linked. Outside of molting time you don’t really need to groom rabbits, and the…[Read more]

One more thing, one of my bunnies have had many x-rays done to him could the vet had diagnose him based on those x-rays if he did have megacolon.

I get that, i feel like they’re diet is good and full of hay, it’s that they get the occasional oval poops and i tend to brush them both 3 times a week. I’m just wondering what could be causing that.

Megacolon is a condition impacting how the GI system functions, so your question is a bit off-target since some poops that come from a rabbit with megacolon may literally be the result of a gut slow down or related/resulting complication.

I honestly don’t measure the blends…. if there are instructions, please abide by them, haha. I just typically sprinkly the top of the hay pile so that’s definitely less than a full handful just grabbing from the bag, but more than half a teaspoon, so I don’t think you’re giving a ton at all. That being said, I would say that “nervous lately” is…[Read more]

My bunnies have never reacted in this way, but that’s not to say it couldn’t happen?

I am so sorry you are going through this. I am in the same boat with my 12yo girl, and it is torture.

What I did to prepare in my case, was googled places that did in-home euthenasia. I then called them all and asked if they were confident working with rabbits. – some vets said no, and others said absolutely!

I also asked if they had same day…[Read more]
