I know a person who used the PRO-C probiotics for her bun when he had been injured and needed nursing back to health. It has brewer’s yeast, which occurs naturally in the healthy rabbit gut. You can mix it with the CC.

There could be something wrong with her that the gut stasis is only a symptom of. The stasis is however what needs to be adressed…[Read more]

Fixed rabbits can definitely still pee and poop outside the litter box, especially on couches and beds, which are attractive places for them to mark. Wait it out, and if it doesn’t improve, you may need to forbid him from being on the couch for long periods of time. Or put a litter box up there.

The probiotics I have are called: PRO-C probiotic for rabbits….Brand: VETARC It says on the tub ‘friendly bacteria with vitamin c and dextrose for digestive support’

it’s time for her next cc. I hate upsetting her and long for the meds to arrive tomorrow. not been much change in her this afternoon 😔 I’m beginning to lose hope she’s lost so m…[Read more]

I completely agree that pain meds would be great. Sometimes buns can recover from stasis with just pain meds, fluids, and syringe feeding. The pain meds help them keep fighting (and pain can actually cause the gut to slow down even more).

Thank you Bam. I have heard a rabbit scream just before he died it was an horrific scream ( this was another rescue bun that had had his throat cut and stabbed several times and left for dead in a bag outside ‘pets at home’ store, he survived all his surgery and eventually I adopted him but not long after he had a heart attack they think it was…[Read more]

Thank you for the update, I have been thinking about you!

The squealing is of course not good, rabbits should  as you know, bot squeal, although some individuals can be rather vocal. All rabbits can scream, which means mortal fear (a defense mechanism that have probably served the species well, since it can startle a predator enough to let go of…[Read more]

UPDAYE ON PIPPIN

Shes still with us and there is some good news as well as not so good. Firstly I apologise I didn’t update you all last night, my son came and gave me a night off to sleep and sleep I did I knew she was in good hands and I’d left a list as to what to give her and when. she had not such a good day yesterday and was fighting jus…[Read more]

Thanks for all the responses! All of that makes perfect sense. Initially I thought I was told that he should be let out side to play 2-3 times a week. I know that is very different than putting him in a carrier and walking him around. Haha I just really like the idea cause he is just so cute and makes me happy. I am actually going through a nasty…[Read more]

I am trying to post pics but it says I am not allowed to upload media to this post. Any suggestions on how to do so? Also It is 6.5 ft long by 4.5ft tall. It has two levels. A door opens down into a ramp on the front bottom so she can walk down to exit and if I want to keep her inside the hutch I simply flip the door up. The entire bottom is open…[Read more]

Hi Bam and LBJ10, thank you for your help!! I made a vet appointment for first thing tomorrow morning. Her normal vet was out sick today 🙁

She is still in good spirits, thankfully, but it appears she has lost more fur throughout the day. Will post an update after vet.

Norway is still up in the air. I am applying for my residency permit to go in January… but it may get delayed again. My funding source has said they will try to confirm whether it will be able to start on time or potentially delayed again by mid-November (which I just realized is also when we will prob move… so maybe that will help make my…[Read more]

I agree that it really depends on the rabbit. Some relax and don’t seem phased at all about going for walks, others get very stressed anytime they aren’t at home.

When a rabbit is stressed their eyes will often look much bigger and more wide open, and when very scared you can see the whites of their eyes. Usually their breathing will be more…[Read more]

I agree with Bam. It looks a bit angry.

I know people with pet strollers for their bunnies. Personally, I would think something like that would be more comfortable.
