Thank you so much, DanaNM!  I really appreciate it.

The vet did say that some of the weight loss over the past year could be just muscular atrophy with age (and he has spondylosis; he does seem stiffer these days).  We introduced the oats just a couple of months ago but I don’t know how much of an effect they would be expected to h…[Read more]

Well, only you can decide.  Reminder quality of life is the most important factor.

Personally, at this stage, I would focus on that and keeping her happy and comfortable.

Keep us posted!  Hugs to y’all.

I’ve been hearing a lot of positive things about CBD as well (I have a friend who gives it to her arthritic bun). If you get hemp-sourced it has no THC in it, but yeah I don’t know about potential drug interactions.

Both gabapentin and metacam are used in humans too, so there may be some info out there on possible interactions (but of course the…[Read more]

Ohhh this is a tough one. I would probably want to get a second opinion from a very rabbit savvy vet if possible. I don’t know that I would want to do a dental procedure unless I was very sure it was a problem.

That said, the weight loss even with the oats is troublesome and having kind of inconsistent eating habits is a symptom of dental pain.…[Read more]

I’m sorry you are going through this! 🙁

I think it will be important to work closely with a vet who is very rabbit savvy and see what they say once they have more info.  I agree that stabilizing her first is important.

It will be important to find a vet that does a lot of rabbit spays and rabbit surgeries in general. I do know of a couple case…[Read more]

Yes these are great suggestions and have really helped Thank you. My profile photo is of her snuggling up to her “doughnut”.

She sleeps under our coffee table which she “claimed” it has a throw over it which she likes pulled right down in a morning when she sleeps.  She sleeps with just her head poking out mostly.

We were worried that she…[Read more]

I emailed them and for a similar response. It seems safe enough and I’m optimistic. Some herbs are very effective at reducing anxiety.. Though I’m sure it’s not going to eradicate it, it’s could still make an improvement. I’ll let you know the results.

I have heard Cbd is great my friends pets have had great results for arthritis and mood but…[Read more]

No he decided to not like orchard grass after I bought a box of it. He’s more toward 2nd cut Timothy now. I’m ordering a box now as the sample Timothy is running low. I hope he’s not going to change again after the bale arrives.

I just saw an ad at Chewy for hemp litter for small animals.

Might be worth a look.

We’re on well water.  We did some tests, it was ok.

I am SO SORRY I completely blanked on the fact that I only took Spirit to California and then took United to Hawaii. I had to make more than one call to United as I kept getting different answers.

Ahh, yes, being fed only alfalfa will definitely make a picky bunny!

Maybe after some time being on orchard he will branch out to other hays as well. Second cut timothy tends to be leafier than first cut.

The nutrient profile on Oxbow looks almost the same, aside from the vitamin C, although they only list the minimum guaranteed amounts for the vitamins. Maybe you could check with your vet and/or contact Oxbow to see what they say? There is tons of vitamin C in many of the veggies we give our bunnies (dark leafy greens), so I doubt the C would be…[Read more]
