I’m sorry to hear this! Many many good vibes for (((((Muffin)))))

When you get to take him home you might want to ask for a higher dose of meloxicam. Pain can make rabbits stop eating. You should get dog meloxicam which has a strenght of 1.5 mg/ml, rabbits metabolize meloxicam very quickly.

He doesn’t pee on the carpet fortunately, I may still look into getting the vinyl flooring though. I am going to be moving in July so hopefully I can find a place with hardwood floors bc that would make my life easier haha he likes to dig and chew at the carpet.

Yes, the bed is the main problem, he likes to jump on my bed a lot and almost every…[Read more]

Thank you DanaNM. I agree he is having trouble moving around. Thank you for the help.

We had to bring him into an emergency vet last night because he refused to eat. We had him there overnight on Gi Stasis treatment. I’m just waiting for a call with an update on how he’s doing. It’s been a nightmare and I’m so stressed and I just want him to get…[Read more]

Ok, thanks! I’ll keep them in there and keep an eye on any signs of it lessening – good thing is, they’ve been together about 5 days straight now and there haven’t been any fights, so at least I can get some sleep now hahaha.

Thank you very much!! You answers have been so educational for me!

It’s not really a problem, especially since he is so young. The tummy works at different rates during the day. Its quicker in the evenings and mornings when the bun is at its most active.

What you dont want to see is some type of continuous shrinking of the poop size and amount, because that means sth isn’t right – either the bun isn’t eating or…[Read more]

thanks! Do you think the timothy hay cubes, would also be good for teeth? They are a hard texture, and made of timothy hay, but of course they are not actual flattened out regular hay.

Ahh thank you very much!

Is there any problem if they are sometimes different size. In the evening it’s usually a mix of some smaller ones, some very small and harder, some completely normal

Yes, you can give him this hay. Darker poop isnt a problem if they’re nicely shaped, of a good size and ample. When you change hays, you can get darker or lighter poop. As long as you see that he is eating the hay, it’s fine. Hay isnt uniform, the nutritional content can vary quite a bit with the time it was harvested and the conditions where the…[Read more]

Gotcha, I would def keep going in the large space then and just give them some time. The chasing can seem a bit endless, but actually the more times he chases and it DOESN”T turn to a fight (Alfredo doesn’t turn to face him), the more Theo will realize Alfredo isn’t going to challenge him.

I agree with Wick, I think bring him inside and having him looked over is a good move.

Also, I can’t quite tell from the video, but it looks like you are holding him on his back? It might just be a weird perspective, but if that’s the case, I just wanted to mention that rabbit welfare groups do not recommend holding rabbits this way. There are…[Read more]

Gotcha!

You might want to get a sheet of vinyl flooring to use under his pen for now if he’s peeing on the carpet. You can get it pretty cheaply at hardware stores (I was able to order some from Home Depot and pick it up curbside recently, but not sure where you are in the world!). He could be marking the carpet if there are lingering pee-smells…[Read more]

Metacam is a pain med, so that should help. Some bunnies do better with the dose split and given every 12 hours, so if he seems to be in pain hours before his next dose, you might ask the vet about that (and/or ask for a stronger dose). You might want to have the vet call you tomorrow and ask a few more questions about the wound.

It’s possible…[Read more]
