I’m going to lock this thread now, as advice has been given and there is no use continuing to circle around.

I’d like to reiterate what Wick said to all participants of this discussion:

“As stated in our Forum Guidelines, “We Do Not Tolerate Poor Manners: Snide, Snotty, Snarky Snooty, Judgmental, Chastising, Berating, Scolding type of Remarks n…[Read more]

I wouldn’t be overly worried since he is still eating, even if it is less normal. It could just be gas still. I agree with Dana that it may be time to see a vet, especially if simethicone hasn’t been helping.

That’s great! I’m glad you found something that seems to balance her gut.

I’m right there with you with the planning, I recently got jugs to store 30 gallons of emergency water. Our house is on a well, so if the power goes out for any length of time we won’t have water!

Now that I read it again I realize you were saying farewell to the dysbiosis!

Since it has been a long time since this started, I think it’s time to go to the vet and see what’s going on. Until you can get to the vet, you can try giving some simethicone and keep doing the tummy rubs.

That’s really great he ate some greens and hay! Often rabbits in stasis wont eat their pellets, so that’s normal. Pellets are food but lower in fiber so it’s actually OK if he won’t eat them.

Critical care is not a treatment in itself for gastric stasis, but it is am important part of supportive care and for the rabbit’s eventual recovery. In…[Read more]

Update: he started eating hay just now, I was making sure he will eat so I give him some pellets and he ate them but he won’t eat the veggies he ate the parsley tho. Also, some of his poop is moist and is bigger than before. Hmm, should I mix the critical care with the tea hay instead of regular water?

I agree. When it comes to emergencies, hay and pellets are all you need.

Ah, OK, that makes sense. I suppose taking him inside when it’s hot wouldn’t be too hard on him if the temperature difference is only 10 degrees. That being said, it may not make much difference since being in the shade would have essentially the same effect (depending on humidity and other factors, of course). The suggestion of a cool garage…[Read more]

This morning I saw him ate a little he does eat but he does hesitate a bit, he also poop, it was bigger and rounder than two days ago. Drinking water is still normal, he’s more active today he was running around and stuff. But still sleeps a lot. @DanaNM does critical care help with a gi? cause I’ve been giving him that and belly massages and…[Read more]

I hope you were able to find a solution! A ceiling on it does sound like the best bet if getting a higher one isn’t an option. 60cm is actually short for a pen. I typically at least 80cm. It would be good, when possible, to buy a taller one if you can.

It may help to put a sheet around the pen to block cookie being able to see you as well. If…[Read more]

I am the OP and no rabbit owner should assume that they know everything about how every rabbit should be treated or raised. It would be better if you spoke of how you raise your own, but didn’t presume to censure others for what you judge to be bad treatment.

I don’t think I “dismissed” anyone regarding the rabbit being outside. I explained why I…[Read more]

Thank you Wick & Fable 🙏🏻

So Mr Bun is back to thumping. Ive seen his posture a few times and he doesnt appear frightened. Hes still crouching and his eyes are not super wide showing the whites. Sometimes we are are in the room. It feels like hes sending a warning thump but for what purpose I am not sure. Hes worse at night when its really quiet.

Wonderful links. Thank you DanaNM. 🙏🏻

Oops… I just realized that! Sorry. Yes, I’m so relieved she’s doing better now – I’ve been worrying for ages! ♥

Can you get it online? I love Tractor Supply, but I have never seen one in Montana.
