update:

I just found out remy probably suffers from floppy rabbit syndrome (FRS), that’s why he can’t stand up and move his legs.

i hope he’s going to recover, i read it’s a fatal disease

Tomorrow is the day!!! I will be attending a huge adoption event. I have 5 bunnies picked out to meet but if those don’t click a ton of others will be there. The 5 I picked out I think would be the best fit for Tater. There’s one that I really REALLY want and she’s been at the rescue for a while but I have to see if she’s as calm as they claim…[Read more]

hi, thank you very much for your answers.

the vet gave us a painkiller called meloxoral and told us to feed him 0,65ml a day (she said its actually a medicine for dogs but it works on bunnies as well).

i don’t really know why he’s laying like that though, he literally can’t stand up, his legs are really weak, yesterday night i thought i was…[Read more]

Yes, what meds were you given? That could be why he’s laying like that.

Keeping him warm is really important. Make sure he doesn’t get too cold. It is common for their body temperature to drop when they have stasis. As long as there is no blockage, it is safe to syringe feed to keep everything in the gut moving. Sometimes vets prescribe sub-Q…[Read more]

Is it the little tiny spot in the center?

Yay! Glad to hear he is doing well!

It is not to late. Make sure he keeps warm (f ex by giving him a warm waterbottle in a towel). It is extremely important that he is kept warm.

You should support feed him if he isn’t really eating. That he has pooped is great, but he needs food in his tummy continously. Oxbow’s Critical Care is a practical and easy-to-use support feed for poorly…[Read more]

Well, if there’s any animal that would flip one the bird, it’s a bunny! 😆

So glad he’s all better. 🙂

Yay Wick! I’m sure he’s so happy to be able to roam again!

Those 2 are so cute. What is Fresno doing, pushing off his food so you think he needs his plate filled?! Haha

As a follow-up: Wick is all recovered!

He is back to full free-roam. Thankfully, his recovery was steady with no hiccups in his energy or appetite. The only lasting consequence is that the finger sort of sticks “up” when he lounges (i.e. it doesn’t touch the ground naturally), so I suppose it’s like he’s constantly prepping to flip the bird,…[Read more]

Sometimes bunnies seem to just decide that digging in the litter box is the most fun thing ever. I use a litter box screen like Wick mentioned and it works great.

let me get this straight the bunny doesnt shake as much as he used to so i guess its “normal”???

You can try putting in less litter and/or get a box with higher sides. Rabbits naturally dig and kick “dirt”, so it may stop as time passes, but it may not. You could also try a litterscreen, like one made from plastic knitting mesh, so there is no access to the litter itself.
