It got a little harder again but there’s tons of gurgles which is good. How many doses does this medicine usually take?

Oh good, softer stomach is good!

Making her move around a bit every 30 mins or so can be good. Of course rabbits too need rest during the night, but in an acute situation like this, a bit of “exercise” can be benefical. GI trouble tends to generate extra gas and the gas needs to get out, or it can cause quite considerable pain.

She’s a little still right now. She’s alert though. Not really moving but I wouldn’t want too either when I’m in pain in my stomach. She does look around a lot. I just don’t want to wake up in the middle of the night and she’s gone… that would wreck me.

I will say this I picked her up to hold her and her stomach is so much softer now then it w…[Read more]

If there’s a hard lump it indicates a blockage or impaction. Only give small amount of critical care, like ml. Syringe water and/or cooled hay tea more often.

Hay tea is hay steeped in water, much like tea. Let it cool, then sieve off the liquid. It is tasty for rabbit plus it contains micro nutrients.

Dont go “overboard” with the motility drug…[Read more]

How long do these medicines take to really start working. Lux stomach now feels like there’s a hard lump in it but it shifts a lot. She just sits there, I feel so bad and don’t know what it’s from. I hope she’s ok. We have critical care also going to give her soon. If the doctor thought it was a complete emergency she would’ve told us to bring her…[Read more]

A loud chatter can mean pain. It doesnt always though. My Bam could chatter quite loudly during a tummy massage when his tummy was acting up. Difficult to explain perhaps, but it was like he appreciated it even though it caused him (temporary) pain. He always came through just fine.

And yes, surgery is sometimes needed. This as a rule means the…[Read more]

Yeah I need to be on here more you guys are great: and thank you so much for thinking about us ;). Dog is great and we have an 18 month old daughter now who loves lux. And it’s ok if I didn’t spend all the money on a concert and hotel I would stay home but wife told me to still go cause she knows how much I want to go. I’d be home before 24 hours…[Read more]

Oh goodness, I’m sorry your wife has to stay home! Sounded like you were planning a lovely weekend away 😔

But great that you did see a vet. I would expect nothing less from you tbh, Lux is an admirable 8 years old and I do remember the circumstances from way back when.  Wasn’t long ago at all I happened to think about you and Lux and your wife…[Read more]

On two medicines one for pain and one to push the mass out. Hope all is well. Wife has to stay home this weekend to take care of her

She’s I guess chattering since it’s a little pain I guess she has. I hope she will pull through

She’s got a little mass in here could be a hairball they said. Not a tumor which is good. Giving her a medicine once every 24 hours to try and pass it. I think it’s her new bed I got her that’s fluffy…. I’m hoping all is alright. Will keep you guys informed

Yeah it was better but I just wanna make sure. It will be a nice quiet house for 24 hours for her. Yeah she’s going to be 8 already. She’s been such a good girl. It was very very stinky also I’m like wow this isn’t normal. Cleaned her twice and all. I’ll keep you Informed. You guys have always been great

Solidish poop after a bout of sticky poop is indeed better!

It’s very wise to see a vet, rspecially since yiu are going away for the weekend! A vet can give her sub q fluids to ensure proper hydration and perhaps a gut stimulant (f ex metoclopramide). They can take a look at her molars with an otoscope, it’s not rare for middle aged buns (and Lux…[Read more]

Went to sleep and woke up and she had a bunch of solidish poops attached to her butt which were SOOOO much bette then last night but she still didn’t eat so we are goin to take her to the vet this morning. We are going out of town Saturday night for 24 hours and I just need to make sure she’s ok. Might need just a dose of critical care to feel bet…[Read more]

Hi Xxventanaxx and welcome back to BB!

How does she seem now, energy and appetite-wise? Still good?

It’s not very rare for buns to get a partial GI blockage. When/if the blockage resolves, it sometimes comes out in the form of a “plug” of sticky poop.

Hopefully this was just a one-time thing, but it’s obviously important to keep a close eye on…[Read more]

it might be Soft cecotropes cause its sticking to her big time but its all coming out
