Having a happy home and proper care is better than many bunnies get! I’m sure things will get better, the bad sometimes comes in waves but will subside.  All the maintenance and giving meds right now is stressful so thanks for caring so much.

Dana – Yes, it does seem that way, doesn’t it?

I agree about trying some critical care, if you haven’t already. Some bunnies like the taste and will eat it off of a spoon or plate.

That’s very frustrating!

Have you done any imaging? like x-rays, ultrasound, etc? That would probably be my next move to see if something is going on internally.

I just moved cross country with my four bunnies. It was 6 days of driving, with 8-12 hours of driving each day. None of them would eat or drink while the car was moving, but halfway through each day we would take a longer break and offer wet greens.

I am mainly concerned about the long flight – it will be 8 hours on the plane and 10 hours in total, door to door, so I am afraid wet greens will not be enough for such a long trip. I’ve tried everything including putting a bit of apple juice in his water bowl to no avail… he would not touch it and would even knock it over. So syringe feeding…[Read more]

That’s great! 🙂

Yay for poop and eating a leaf!

Do these episodes happen a certain number of house after eating?

Some bunnies don’t do well with pellets or certain veggies, so if she is a good hay eater and your vet recommends it, you might try going hay-only for a while and see if that helps.

I also wouldn’t rule out teeth. Lionheads are one of the breeds that’s seeing more and more dental…[Read more]
