Arugula is fine to feed every day. What’s mizuna? Is that mustard greens? Those are high in oxalic acid.

Considering nothing could ever be heard in the lungs, I don’t see the reason for a chest x-ray. It sounds like a URI, not pneumonia.

I also agree, that unless there’s a reason to suspect a long-standing issue that will worsen if not identified or there seems to be a consistent struggle towards respiratory improvement, I don’t think you need an x-ray at this time.

It does sound related to molting. This happened with Myra and we’ve been getting tons of calls at the shelter. Seems like the seasons changing tend to cause issues like this for lots of buns!

Glad he’s perked up. 🙂

Thanks so much for sharing your experience Donna! Unfortunately, this is an older topic so you’re likely not to get a response. I have locked the thread. I encourage you to participate in more active threads currently, as well as post your own topics if you’d like!

I just left my bun 2 days to be with my aunt…my boyfriend had to feed her and clean her potty…she is sooooo mad at me!😂 We usually eat lettuce together (mixed greens…NEVER iceburg) but my little rotten snatched a leaf an stayed in her room giving me the side eye…like he didn’t give her pinch of oatmeal, handful of greens, and slice of…[Read more]

Bunny tax, I like it. 😈

I don’t think you need to get the x-ray as long as he’s improving. Peace of mind is worth a lot too of course, but as you said, there’s no guarantee the x-ray will reveal anything conclusive. Personally I’d hold off on it. 🙂

He’s adorable! 😀

I’m glad to hear he’s doing better! 🙂

Oscar often gets tummy troubles while molting. Simethicone has always done the trick so far, I usually give him 1 ml every hour, I don’t think it ever took more than two doses before he made a miraculous recovery. That stuff is almost magic, and very safe since it doesn’t get absorbed by the body. I also…[Read more]

Thanks @Bam! Yeah he is in his hay box right now chowing down, he ran around, re-adjusted all his tunnels and did some important cardboard destruction with some little happy wiggles for a bit too… so something got moving between the simethicone and the belly rubs, and what ever was bothering him is done. Maybe it was just that one poop chain…[Read more]

You can keep up the sinethicone, it will do no harm but possibly some good. Dana Krempels says 0.5-1 ml every hour for the first three hours, then every two hours, then 1-2 times per day. We dont know why it works, but since it does seem to work and its safe to give, there’s no harm in giving it. (If he’s eating and seems ok, don’t wake him up to…[Read more]

Ochh, there’s a shark in the bunny enclose! I hope the bun keeps away! 🤣

Vilde on the couch, watching season 4 of The Crown. Since he himself is a prince, he’s naturally interested in how other royal houses go about their day.

Cute snuggle buns! and omg Starlight’s costume i love it! Maybe next year I’ll try sneak one on Tyb…

well he just ate some hay and definitely seems perked up! Also took some mint and his body language is way more peppy. Should I continue with the simethicone?

Thanks DanaNM! He won’t eat his pellets or his favorite treats yet, he is ignoring the greens but he sometimes does that so that’s less a sign. Also not eating hay which is weirder. I’ll try a syringe of water here in a little bit. I haven’t had a chance to take temp yet, but he doesn’t seem in serious pain. He isn’t hunkered with his belly on the…[Read more]

Hmmm my instinct was veggie juice as well, but his avoidance of jaw touching makes me think a dental exam would be a good step to be on the safe side. Tooth issues would prob be the most likely cause.

My white bunnies get gross looking mouths right as they start molting. I think the base of the fur around the mouth gets more stained, and then as…[Read more]

I’m glad she is perking up! I’m sure she would love a maze 🙂

Bunnies are great teachers of many things, sounds like you have an excellent one. <3

A lot of people will use an exercise pen to block access to their bed for free-roaming buns.
