Awww hi Boo and Walter! Looking like a pair of bunny slippers!

hahah! You can try giving her a tummy rub. Massaging along the spine (gently!) can also trigger them to poop!

Sorry it’s been a while since you posted this, how is she doing now?

Is it still actively bleeding? Does it seem like she is having trouble breathing or anything like that? Is she still eating/drinking?

If she is still showing symptoms of pain I would have her checked by the vet. I think it’s unlikely she injured herself very seriously this way,…[Read more]

Urinary incontinence is also a huge symptom of EC. That along with the other symptoms (especially the head tilt) would push me to complete the EC treatment. It can take several weeks to see improvement, the full course is 28 days (also feel free to post her med amounts here so we can double check, I had a vet underdosing Panacur at one point).

I…[Read more]

When my bunny Benjamin had EC he had a slight head tilt too. He also stopped his litter training. He lost a LOT of weight too. Since he’s been treated he’s slowly gaining the weight back and kind of has his litter training back too. He used to almost exclusively use his litter box for poop and pee, nowadays he uses his entire cage for poop and pee…[Read more]

Thank you so much for your help! I could definitely see how it might be cecal impaction, the only problem is that according to her vet, when she presses on Winnie’s tummy, she doesn’t seem to be in pain. A second thing is that Winnie poo’s normally and eats her cecotropes all the time. The problem is her litter training and the fact that she poos…[Read more]

The appendix is the cecum, it’s where the cecotropes are made. They’re made through a fermentation process which is performed by various bacteria and fungi (yeasts) that renders the food the bun eats more digestible. A lot of vitamins and volatile essential fatty acids are produced by this process, and when the cecum bacteria come to the end of…[Read more]

Sometimes rabbits do pass a few stuck together poop. It’s ok if its only a few and the rest of the poop is fine. It’s great that you noticed it though!

The most common cause for a slight gut slowdown is molting. If your rabbit is in a molt right now you should brush her, preferably daily or as needed, so she doesnt ingest too much hair when she…[Read more]

It’s hard to tell. Weeds sometimes get into hay. Some companies hand sort hay prior to bagging to try to minimize unwanted plants, but it isn’t 100% foolproof. You could contact the company to see if they will replace the bag. Places like Petco will generally allow you to exchange.

If it is Kaytee I think they’d be willing to answer your questions, but you will have to wait until Monday. Could you get a smallish hay bag of another brand and feed that meanwhile? Sometimes unwanted plants that shouldnt be in good hay can get in there f ex if there’s been a period of drought.

I’m located in Georgia, USA. The hay is Kaytee brand purchased from PetCo. I tried calling customer service but they can’t answer the phone until regular business hours on Monday.
