Activity

Thanks for the update. Hopefully this is the only sleepless night you’ll need to tolerate after today’s event. Seeing more activity is really good — that movement is going to be good to get him moving.

I would also get a bit of “ah” if I tried the bloat method and tea came out + lump, but the gurgling is a sign that stuff is moving. You’re close…[Read more]

Wow what a large enclosure. Wonderful that she also gets free-roam of the house. If you have any pictures, that’d be great to see if you feel people could draw some helpful inspiration from it. You don’t need to share if you’re not comfortable though.

I do agree that it’ll take time, naturally, as she is a prey animal and you are obviously a…[Read more]

It’s currently 2:55 am so I’m coming with a little update. The hay tea feeding I did an hour ago barely took, but when I woke up I saw my bunny being a bit more active, and he gladly lapped at the teat. I had a bit of a scare because I tried the “is it bloat” method again because he spat a bit of tea out and felt a hard lump but I think it was too…[Read more]

Thanks for the tips! I really appreciate the help. Our bunny is an English Spot and Lionhead cross breed. What about yours?

Her enclosure is 30+ square feet, and she does get to roam the house (supervised) from time to time. I do have to limit this since it cam be difficult to get her back into the enclosure area without making her upset by…[Read more]

Congrats on your new bunny!

I brought my girl home when she was 4 months old and it took a few months for her to bond with me but now she’s my shadow and she’s growing even more attached the older she gets.

I’d suggest letting her out of her enclosure, sit on the floor, and just letting her explore. Keep some treats with you and give her one w…[Read more]

They range between 20 minutes to 2 hours. Things have been progressing but now we are stuck where we are.

Great that there are positive signs like grooming and willingness to drink the hay tea. I agree that in addition to hydration, you’ll want to try and feed him regularly. If he’s unwilling to eat and it’s been a while, you can make a pellet mash by soaking pellets in water and try force feeding him a bit with a syringe. Again, this is if he doesn’t…[Read more]

I think I’ll wake up every hour during the night to feed him some hay tea and hopefully tomorrow morning as soon as the vet opens we’ll be in. Thank you all for you advice and your time I really really appreciate it

Awww I’m very happy to read this! You can all comfort each other <3

Drinking on his own is very good! And doing a bit of grooming is also great!

I think it would be safe to keep offering him hay tea, especially if he’s drinking it on his own.

You might also periodically offer some favorite herbs or hay strands to see if he will eat a bit on his own.

So I just gave him avout 6 full tea spoon of hay tea and he seemed to enjoy it. He’s doing a semi cleaning right now (laying down while cleaning his nose with his front paws) because a bit of tea dripped on him so at least he’s a bit “aware” and not completely lethargic.

He is still wrapped up in a blanket but I’ll put a heated plush next to him for a bit more warmth. I just started making hay tea so I will try giving him some and will keep updating. He drank about 3 tea spoons of water about thirty minutes ago and he didn’t seem to have a problem with that. I’m not sure what the last time he ate was as I always…[Read more]

Sounds like things are progressing! How long are your sessions now?

I see this was last posted a bit ago, how is he doing now?

I haven’t heard of this happening and it seems very unusual, but I agree that it could be a sign of an overall low body temp, which is often a response to pain or shock (especially with the other symptoms you are seeing).

Supportive care until you can get him to the vet will be important…[Read more]

Hi and thank you for the fast answer

Unfortunately going to the vet now isn’t an option because where I’m from there is no vet emergency room open at night
I followed the video’s instruction and didn’t feel anything hard which reassured me because I did give him a bit of water before posting here.
I checked his tongue and it is still cold but…[Read more]
