I agree you should keep up the CC. It is important that he has food in his tummy and that he gets the nutrients he needs for the wound to heal. Hopefully he will soon perk up enough to be interested in nibbling on his own.

Recovery from a bout of stasis can be slow, it can take more than a week, sometimes even longer.

Yes, a spayed female can develop a mammary tumor. Spaying reduces the risk significantly, but tumors has still been known to occur. It is believe genetics may place a role.

Not all tumors are malignant. Since the lump appeared quickly, that is concerning. Unless, of course, this lump really was missed by the vet. Perhaps the vet just wasn’t…[Read more]

Yep that was a major concern for me as well (the pesticide risk). I think a dog free and small quiet beach may be best for next time. In the afternoon on a not too sunny day. she didn’t eat any grass strangely.

I know I have heard many stories about small dogs being killed that way. I’m glad we’re home safe and she enjoyed it and can plan for a…[Read more]

Definitely go somewhere you won’t run into any dogs. Leashed or not, they could cause panic in your bunny. And yes, unleashed could be very VERY disastrous. A dog could do serious damage to your bunny without even trying. You hear about small dogs getting mauled by big dogs all the time. One more reason why taking a bunny outside is risky.

I don’t see why not.

Okay we ended up taking her today starting out with her in the pen and me sitting in with her

after about ten minutes of burrowing in my pants we opened up the pen and clipped on the leash just in case and she ended up hopping around binkying  and taking me for a walk!

she’s back home now she’s exhausted but eating and drinking and floo…[Read more]

Got it! I talked to a friend of mine and she said I could use her kitchen tomorrow for a completely different neutral space. Crossing my fingers this helps! I’ll also try stressing in the evening – I realized that I have been doing all stress bonding sessions earlier in the day (times I’m more likely to go out, and to prepare them for the day) so…[Read more]

At 6:30am he gets enrofloxacin with food, I give him lettuce and offer pellets. Should I still give him critical care with this? Maybe a little?

Thank you guys. He’s been licking the critical care from the syringe which is really good, I hope he keeps doing that. I’ll be giving him more at 1am with his meds, 3am, and 6:30am with his meds. I’ll watch how he’s doing tomorrow and see if he’s eating better. I’ll probably have to pick up more critical care, though. I’ve been giving 1.5tbs…[Read more]

Dana is right, meds and “non-typical” foods can cause weird poops. They look like regular poops with cecotropes mixed in. Definitely keep trying with the critical care. Mixing it with something to give a little flavor might help. In the spirit of offering anything and everything, you could try some fragrant herbs as well (fresh or dried).

I’ve had a similar thing happen with past bondings (all good during the day, then things get feisty at night). Do you have any other location (of the same size) that you could try? It honestly sounds very familiar to me, because Bun Jovi always wants to mount in the evenings.

I think sometimes the space becomes not-neutral over time and a change…[Read more]

Update: This afternoon was going amazingly, but they regressed in the evening when Theo became more active. I was so hopeful because they were literally cuddling the whole afternoon, and then around 7pm Theo went wild with the chasing and mounting. Alfredo ran, and then took it for a bit, but it was pretty excessive so I intervened when it seemed…[Read more]

As long as there is poop happening, I wouldn’t worry about what it looks like. Medication can cause weird poops, plus he is prob having trouble eating his cecals still (yes it looks like there are cecals mixed in).

I honestly wouldn’t keep rushing him to the vet, I think he needs gentle supportive care at this point (especially since he is eating…[Read more]

I am so sorry to hear Sunny left to see our heavenly papa or mama.  I wish you find some comfort in the company of your other bunnies. Death is such an ugly thing, and it hits particularly hard during the winter.  Sunny will be another friend in heaven for my bunny Lola who also passed not long ago, January 29th to be exact.  May both of them be…[Read more]

Thanks LBJ10. We picked up some critical care from a vet closer to us today because the emergency vet advised me to. I started giving it at 5pm and it’s been a struggle getting it in his mouth because it’s only a little at a time. I just stopped trying and it’s 6:20pm… Maybe I watered it down too much because there’s still a lot left. He ate…[Read more]

Yes, a pen would be a much safer way to test the waters. Another thought would be a pet stroller. If your bunny isn’t afraid of being in a carrier, then she might enjoy going for a little stroll in a pet stroller.
