It has been over 3 years now, so I don’t quite remember, but Wick’s presentation sounds generally different than your rabbit’s. Wick was much more sneezy, rather than snotty. He had the white discharge, but it was more so his distress from waking up to sneeze all the time that bothered me. He never had severely goopy discharge or an excessive…[Read more]

@Bam, thank you! I didn’t know about simethicone before, and I wasn’t even sure you could syringe-feed bunnies tea for gas, but now I know exactly what to do if I see her tummy pressing again.

Oh, thank you for the update!

Lovely to hear shes doing so much better! ❤ 🐰

Did Wick ever go a couple days or more without symptoms or minimal sneezing without discharge then start back up again with the thicker discharge and then go back to minimal symptoms? It’s like a yo-yo with her. Today she seems fine and her appt is this afternoon. I thought for sure by today she would be more than ready for the vet and it was t…[Read more]

Reglan can work pretty quickly. It’s a very good med that can be given every 6-8 hours if the situation calls for it.

Weirdly shaped poop, tiny poops, even splotchy, mushy poop with various degrees of stinkiness is more or less par for the course when the bunny gut starts up after a bout of gas or stasis. The fact that there is poop is what’s…[Read more]

I also recommend going to a rabbit-experienced vet as soon as possible. How are things going now?

Tooth root issues can come from age and poor dental habits, but it can also be from unlucky genes that tell the teeth to grow in odd ways.

I only have experience with URI, and when I hear thick, white discharge, my mind tends to stick to that. I know in humans, allergy-related nasal discharge can be yellow, green, or clear, so it might probably…[Read more]

Pooping is great! That means the GI is running and tiny poop after a gastric discomfort is very normal, if you consider he wasn’t eating much during it.

I did give him more simethicone and a dose of reglan but he was eating within 10 minutes.  I’m pretty sure the reglan hadn’t done anything but maybe the simethicone. He also was warmed up at that point.  He’s pooping… tiny poops.

Well he’s eating cilantro now. Good grief. And a little poop. Something is most certainly going on but grateful that he’s eating something.

Well yesterday I was just going to post an update that frank was doing great and last night he didn’t eat again.

Back to teeth grinding, anorexia and social withdrawal.  He was sitting in the sunroom this morning which is a favorite spot in the summer but not in the winter.

I’m so sad

He got pain meds and simethicone last night because he seem…[Read more]

Oh my goodness, I was only joking about n & s hemisphere. But it’s actually a thing! I did not know this!

Hi everyone. Binkie is feeling so much better today, and I haven’t seen her tummy pressing at all. Yesterday, I made her some bun mush (pellet paste) and syringe fed it to her. She didn’t like it, but at least it went well. I also syringe fed her some fluids, and some mint tea. She’s back to eating her hay & treats now, and running around which is…[Read more]

Not sure what’s going on, but it sounds very serious. You need to have him seen by a vet ASAP. Most vets (at least in my state) are doing “curbside” service so there is little to no covid risk for the humans, then they call you during the exam.

So sorry again for your loss of Alfalfa. 🙁

It is very normal for rabbits to lose litter box habits and be on alert when a strange bunny (especially an un-neutered one) comes into their territory, but this all usually settles down once they are bonded. Most rabbits do seem happier with a friend, but by all means wait until you are ready and want…[Read more]
