Activity

Metoclopramide is a gut stimulant and it helps the intestinal contents “push” through. I think it’s good that stuff comes out, if the poop is a bit misshapen it could be bc the intestinal contents have not been able to move through quite as swiftly as they should have. This includes the cecals. How do the cecals look?

After a bout of GI trouble…[Read more]

Thank you both! Max’s  poop has been increasing in size and is round but after administering Metoclopramide his poop comes out deformed and I find his cecotropes in his liter.  Is that normal? Should I continue to administer Metoclopramide every 8 hrs for the full seven days? We are on day three.

Thank you so much! I’ve never seen her molting so heavily then i got concerned. I’ll surely keep on eye on her and watch how things will turn out.

Thank you again!

Omg that picture of Wick kills me 😆

Welcome to BB! I have 4 buns, here is one of them, Special Agent Dale Cooper (aka Coop!):

That’s wonderful news! Agree with Bam!

It’s ok to “spoil him” a bit still 😉 and I agree with continuing the CC until his hay habits especially are back to normal. “Extra” CC won’t hurt him and still has benefits while he continues to recover.

Welcome to BB!

I have a couple, but here is my name’s sake, Wick! This is a popular picture of him when he was molting, haha.

I agree that it looks relatively healthy and non-concerning at this point. If flakes continue to form/populate, I’d be more worried, but an occasional dry skin patch/flakes from normative molting is fine! Many rabbits will have patchy molts, where sections of fur release, exposing bare skin for all to see.

A roll of kraft paper can go a long, just like toilet/papertowel rolls too! Also just switching up the environment a little can be stimulating so the rabbit can explore in “new spaces” without actually moving.

Welcome Rabby and Ritter to Binkybunny~!

Hi and very welcome to the BB forums! Hello Ritter!

Wonderful news!

If he is eating enough by himself you can stop the CC, but unless he hates it very much it doesnt hurt to keep him on a serving per day for a few more days just to make sure he gets all the nutrients he needs. Rabbits prefer to eat by themselves, there’s very little risk that he’ll get “spoilt” and prefer CC to normal rabbit…[Read more]

Hi. I’m Rabby. My bun’s name is Ritter 🙂

<p class=”p1″>Hello. Thank you for the reply!</p>
<p class=”p1″>The vet said upon examination she didn’t think it was necessary to take an X-ray of the teeth. </p>
<p class=”p1″>Max started peeing and pooping yesterday! Throughout the day the poop became more round. It’s still relatively small and dark but it looks so much better than the fir…[Read more]

Paper towel rolls stuffed with hay and a few pellets hidden inside are very easy and popular with buns 🙂

You can also make a paper mat by weaving newspaper or leftover packaging paper together. You can also make a hide out of a cardboard box and then stuff it with leftover packaging paper for the bun to dig and burrow around in. If you can find…[Read more]

Thank you so much for replying, i was already so anxious!

It’s my first time as a bunny mom and as long i got educated by my veterinary before i adopted Missô, some surprises keep happening hahaha.

I’ll keep an eye on her and see how the fur loss and dryness is going. Thank you so much again!

Rabbits can get dry skin when they molt, so that could be what you’re seeing.

Most (probably all) rabbits have mites on them. They get them from their mother. Its perfectly normal as long as the rabbit’s own immune defense keeps the numbers low. Just keep an eye on it, if it is mites that need treatment, it will get “worse”, i e more skin flakes…[Read more]
