Apologies for the delayed response everyone, but I wanted to thank you emensely for the feedback. It’s been a stressful couple of days for myself and my mom especially because we both love Willow so much, and to see him hurt in such a brutal way was jarring – traumatizing, to be frank. I’m feeling more alone than ever because I am the only one who…[Read more]

Thank you for the reply!

I’ve read most of the articles about megacolon rabbits,  they rarely tell what to do in those situations, because the treatment is different for every rabbit. But I’ll definitely read this one!

The thing is, Mickey is the new rabbit. The other one is so sweet and loving, and is a year older than Mickey. When I bonded…[Read more]

I’m sorry you are going through such a hard time with her 🙁

Have you read this info?https://www.vgr1.com/megacolon/

There are some tips there that may be worth trying.

I’m curious about the increase in aggression. Did that happen when you brought the second bunny home? Or maybe it’s tied to always having to give her meds?

Oh gosh, I’m sorry this happened. I would explain exactly what you did here, and hopefully get a different technician if possible.

I tend to like to give buns more space to sort things out, so I would prob try letting them out in the morning and see how it goes. If it gets worse then you can go back to penning them. 🙂

I’ve used the Benebac gel. I think there’s just one type of it, I think I used the dog and cat version? My memory is that the gel seems to be more popular than the powder.

That is unusual! I haven’t had something like that happen with my buns, but I think a vet visit is a good idea. I have had buns change their chewing preferences when they are uncomfortable, so it could be something like her teeth making her restless.

I’m sorry, since I was afraid to lose the thread again, I couldn’t reread my answers – so the pellets I give them are burgess nuggets with mint.

I also give them leafy green mix, and/or dandelion leaves.

Also homegrown basil, dill, parsley and two different mints as a snack.

She was spayed as a youngster.  One other thing I forgot to mention … she has these “logs” made of compressed hay that she loves to chew on. I’ve noticed around the time this behavior started, she hasn’t been chewing on them, which is another reason I’m wondering if it’s a dental issue.  Hopefully the vet can get us in soon (waiting for a call b…[Read more]

I’m sorry your bun is making you worry. Is she spayed?

We moved into Wolfie’s room last night in the new house where we’ll be for a month or so. Everyone seems so much happier in this room which is great! My bed is also right next to their pen, so at 6am when I heard what sounded like chasing, I was able to roll over and see what was going on. Basically two things I saw: 1) Pixie following after wol…[Read more]
