Hi buntbun,

I know this reply is really new and is was 2008 when you first experienced this… I was searching forums about this noise in experiencing with my rabbit Luna.

Basically… When she moves it seems like a part of her body, like neck or spine, or some joints are making this Unoiled creaking/rubbing sound. Really unique, as it’s not…[Read more]

Thank you both for your suggestions! I’ve been watching a lot of videos on how to bond rabbits and it seems do-able! I tried reaching out to the shelter to see if they could do an initial meeting and they just asked me if I’d ever bonded rabbits and that it “wasn’t like dogs meeting” which I understand. I just don’t want them immediately fighting…[Read more]

He just ate a couple pieces of hay, took a small sip of water (the first time I’ve seen since he got home from the emergency vet). He licked Pinky a couple times too. Maybe he’s just tired or I gave him too much Emeraid. I’m still really worried with how he’s moving and laying down.

I just gave him his lettuce and pellets and he wouldn’t hop over to me. He did it last night and yesterday morning. I’m really worried now. He only ate the lettuce and left the pellets. It took him a few seconds and he tried to crawl a few steps with his right foot tucked under him and using his chin a bit. He’s still laying crouched with his h…[Read more]

Thank you, will try it!

I agree with a pain med route. I admittedly am suspect of grindings done without anesthesia…. though I understand the rationale behind it. If they are a practice that feels comfortable doing that, I wonder if they’d be open to just doing quick isoflurane mask, instead of the big shebang of anesthesia. My Wick’s first vet was more lenient with…[Read more]

It’s his cheek teeth that they file. His jaw is misaligned & so the top tooth grows over the bottom one & eventually into his gum. It was this that caused the first infection/abscess.

He’s just had a drink of water by himself! That’s the first thing he’s voluntarily ingested in 36 hours! I nearly had heart failure watching him though. He couldn’t…[Read more]

Ooooooh that sounds very positive! Tentative hope!

24 hours later update!

Ahh! They have actually been pretty good the past 24 hours – after some chasing last night, Theo has been much more subdued with the chasing. He still follows Alfredo’s butt around, sometimes to mount but mostly for attention I think – he also hops around to Alfredo’s head but sometimes Alfredo is like nope I don’t have…[Read more]

Thank you a lot DanaNM. I think I will try to take those notes. I do notice the positive changes, so I will try to remind myself. I got him to lick the Emeraid from a spoon a few times. I’ve been giving him 6tsp of the powder now to try to get more water in him, and the nutrients.

That makes me feel a bit better, thank you.

My bunnies have gone from darker to lighter poo with different hay as well, even just with different quality of Timothy hay. It should be fine! Another thing you can check that is poo obsessed bunny people get to do is give it some time to dry then smoosh it. Does it crumble up like it’s supposed to? If it does then you’re all good!

Yeah, I would just keep getting the food into him and keep up the tummy rubs.

I’m pretty amazed they wouldn’t use anesthesia for his teeth…. Was it a molar trim or just his front teeth?

Thank you, that makes me feel less neurotic! I guess I can understand that they don’t want to put him under while his gut is bad, but surely if they get the pain meds right they can look at the teeth that were recently filed? They didn’t put him under for the file, he just chilled in a bunny burrito for it!

Think it’s going to be a long night on…[Read more]

The grass is always greener I suppose! My buns always want to go to the one area they aren’t allowed, even when they have a huge area filled with toys to explore.

It can help to try to change up his main area a bit (rearrange hides, add or remove tunnels, etc.), but I think bunnies just really want to explore everywhere!
