Also a good way to help with gas is massaging the tummy by placing your hands on both sides of his stomach and gently rocking it back and forth. In my experience, it has been pretty effective.

Ok good! Maybe he’s had a stomach ache today and he needed a good poop. Keep a close eye on him like you have been and try to get him eating hay. If he had gas maybe this helped some of it come out and he’ll be willing to eat again.

The red spot on Pinky looks like it was from getting his blood taken or given fluids. I didn’t have to shave it, he was grooming it so the fur was easier to part in that spot. It’s bruised and has a tiny bit of blood in one spot. I looked it up and it seems like that area is commonly used for taking blood for blood work, near the tibia on the hind leg.

It is pellets like usual

Are the poops dry, hard pellets like normal or is it more wet like diarrhea? If it’s diarrhea it’s an emergency and he needs to be seen by a vet immediately if you have access to an emergency vet.

I just noticed a lot of poop is  coming out his but as he is laying down.
He turned away from me to lay the opposite way pressed down In the hut.

For an update on Pinky going to the vet today, he has a big gas buildup in his digestive system. The vet said he looks like a stasis rabbit. He got blood work done, x rays, and subcutaneous fluids. He’s getting metacam and trimebutine. The vet said we can also give him Simethicone drops and I emailed them earlier asking what dosage he should get a…[Read more]

Thank you guys. Luckily, they had a big rabbit come in for a teeth checkup. The owner is a veterinarian and allowed him to do the blood transfusion with Muffin.

Earlier, we got a phone call saying they think he has a perforation in his cecum, causing the infection. He was going to get surgery after the blood transfusion to clean it out. The…[Read more]

I just noticed this was a double thread. I saw Hazel responded in the other one, so I will close this one to avoid confusion.

Pressing his stomach on the floor sounds like he has gas. Do you have Simethicone (baby gas drops)? It works very well to get rid of gas quickly and is totally safe to give to bunnies. You can get it over the counter. I usually give 1 ml every hour until I see improvement, it doesn’t usually take more than two doses.

Great reasons to do the southern route!

He could have a bit of gas or other gi distress. Turning down a treat is always something to pay attention to.

My go-to is usually to give a tummy rub and simethicone (baby gas drops). This usually works within a couple hours if it’s going to work. If you have any syringes, you could also syringe some water to make sure he’s hydrated.

Current plan is through Arizona, New Mexico, Arkansas, Tennessee, and then up to Mass. I think the original route we planned was more northern, but we shifted it south try to have better weather! Bonus was visiting friends in Tennessee. 🙂

Sounds like a good plan and I’m sure everyone will be fine. Are you driving through Cincinnati?
