Hi Pumpkinbabe – this is actually lichen.   We normally try to brush it off so people don’t think it’s mold and freak out.  But sometimes we miss it or can’t get all of it off.   These are cut fresh and are not put through any treatment process so it is in its most natural state.

Before getting my bunny I actually watched a bunch of videos by Lennon the Bunny.I believe that she tends to be very accurate on what to expect or not (besides the quirks each buuny might have due to personality) and they made me reflect a lot on what actually involved in getting one of our pals. I’m not saying you have to go with her, but maybe…[Read more]

Glad he’s eaten a bit! I would prob tend to give pain meds over reglan, and if you give the reglan be sure to also give pain meds, and the cramping of the gut can be painful. Remind me, have you been to the vet yet over this?

You can ask the vet about his metacam dosage, he might need a stronger dose. Some buns also do better with their dose…[Read more]

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.
