I don’t like trapping my poor Muffin but he won’t even eat a pellet off the edge of the carrier. ):

I now have 2 buns , time passes with them but there comes the time everyday where I miss her . Now whenever any of these 2 buns gets sick or inactive I get scared thinking something bad will happen,  i always try to calm byself but still that sorrowness don’t leave .

I will try to always remember her good happy times with me , I can atleast…[Read more]

He is all good from morning , when I reached home and sat near him , he wanted to come in my lap but again he slightly lose his balance,  i think its his hind legs he is unable to balance. May be its coz he will take time to recover.

If this is e cuniculi ,shouldn’t his ears have infected ? But they are all good .

I hear you on that, sometimes it was hard for me too, to think of my beloved bun without tear shed. 😥 But getting a good cry out helped me a lot in the past. I would scream my agony to the stars, and when it was all out, I just sat there and went into deep thinking. I thought about if my lost one would want to see me like this, or where they…[Read more]

It sounds like a good plan! One of the shots could perhaps have been fluids to rehydrate him? They often add vitamin b complex to the fluid they give sub q, to help perk the bun up.

Fingers very much crossed this will not happen again! It seems he is being very well cared for.

The vet gave him 2 shots & prescribed polybion syrup ( vitamin B Complex) .

He always keeps running from one room to other room , climbs chairs & sofa all the time. I didn’t notice him getting hit by anything . Whenever he refuses to drink water , I syringe feed him.

I’ll observe him till tomorrow & if that happens again I’ll take him to vet &…[Read more]

This could have been an isolated episide, that he recovered from spontaneously, or it could have been  something the vet did that made him better. Did the vet give him subcutaneous fluids? Any shot of any kind? Could your bun have hit its head playing and thus suffered a minor concussion?

The Floppy Bunny Syndrome is not very well understood,…[Read more]

His appetite is normal from last night , after coming from vet he is okayish after an hour and is back to normal him from today morning.

Till now I didn’t notice any change in his weight, I’ll weigh him weekly from now on . I feed him boltz pellets which are available for me here .

Please suggest what should I do if he falls again like…[Read more]

I’m glad he is steadier now! His diet sounds fine. Rabbit pellets as a rule have vitamin D3 added, vitamin deficiency is not common in rabbits that get both pellets and hay. Vitamin E deficiency has been suggested as a cause of Floppy Bunny Syndrome, a rare condition that causes the bun to lose all muscle tone.

I think you need to keep an eye,…[Read more]

He fell down when he was walking & looking up to reach chairs & sofa.  From morning he is steady . He got shots yesterday. It appeared like he was unable to control his limbs.

His diet is Zupreem Timothy hay , fresh grass , small amount of green vegetables & parsley , pellets in the morning and a treat in the evening. And water available all the…

How did he fall down? Was he losing his balance, did he seem like he had trouble controlling his limbs? Is he steady on his legs now?

There is an intracellular parasite called e cuniculi that can cause balance issues in rabbits.

This is a house rabbit forum, so most of the buns here live indoors. What is his diet like?

Thanks for these words , yes I want to remember all the good happy times with her but it’s just that sometimes the fact of her absence hits me hard . She will always be in my heart ❤

Bromelain and papaya do not help with stasis, and recent evidence suggests they can actually cause harm if ulcers are involved (the enzymes can aggravate intestinal irritation).

The most important things for preventing stasis and keeping the gut functioning well are fiber and hydration. How is her water consumption and hay consumption?

Thank you so much for the help and encouragement! I am so glad that 101rabits lead me to this page!

That is pretty hilarious! But its so true I have found myself worrying about his poop more than anything else. haha

Okay, sounds good! 🙂

For eating cecotropes, that is completely normal. 😆 Healthy even! There is this funny saying I heard here somewhere “Cat lovers learn about felines, and rabbit lovers learn about poop!” Nice huh? 😛

The Xpen for litter training him is great! You are doing an awesome job at caring for him! 😀

Thank you for the advice. I purchased a Small Evolution Self Clean Slicker Brush. It seems to work great! And the roller trick is awesome! Thank you, thank you!

Thank you for the responses! I have been pretty stressed thinking I am doing something wrong. Its nice to be apart of this where I can get some help so I am not just alone figuring all of this out.

His diet is Manna Pro GRO Pellets. I pretty much just make sure that he always has some since he is still growing. He also always has a mix of Timothy…[Read more]
