It is probably too far for you, but I take my bun to MSPCA Angell west, they have a specialized exotics department and I like them a lot. It’s about 20 min west of Boston, so probably an hours drive from you.

@Wick Thank you so much! I was so worried 😣. Yes the smell is pretty bad LOL. Thanks for the info!

My initial thought is passing gas or there was cecotrope production and eating happening. I sometimes nap next to Fable and my oh my… the smell is ripe.

It is actually positive that gas is being passed. GI stasis is when the GI system is literally stopped, or in stasis! If gas is being released, that’s a sign that things are moving. Without…[Read more]

It’s the evening now, I was just brushing him because he’s shedding a lot and he’s still gassy. I read that gas is a sign of gi stasis. But I offered him a few pellets as a treat because I was using them to get Muffin to come up on my lap. He ate them. Do bunnies still eat during gi stasis?

Please do! I’m still hoping someone else will chime in.

I’ve seen a few videos where people make them themselves, one was a person who took a wood hay feeder from Amazon, and attached it to a litter box holder and they made from wood from the hardware store. I’m actually looking for something similar.

What a cute slide show! She’s a very sweet bun, I loved he flops outside!

I’ll settle for an old photo… *sigh*  3 rabbits! You have 3 time the chance of catching a snuggle 😀 you don’t have to get all 3 in the photo.

He usually just gets excited by hanging out and watching netflix/youtube, I think it’s having people active in the same room as him? He seems to just like an audience, so I don’t do too much other than I cheer him on when he runs through his tunnels and maybe we go explore my bedroom. Sometimes I just move all his things about so he has to put…[Read more]

So so very sorry @Poorvi . I hope you are able to hold all those happy memories precious and that they give you comfort during your grief.

I’m so sorry you lost her. She seems like the most wonderful rabbit. It is quite clear that she loved you, and that you gave her a great life.

Rabbit vet care is under-developped in most parts of tge world, sadly. Only a few of us have really good rabbi vets available to us. Vet care for buns is developing quite rapidly though, and things are…[Read more]

@Wick hmmmm I could look for some hay tunnels that are big enough for them. Pinky has two hay mats I put in at the front of his pen so he can destroy those instead of his blanket. Still kinda loud when he shreds it up. They love their apple sticks but those are loud too. I make cardboard toys for them that aren’t as loud though. I guess I should t…[Read more]

Aw thank you, I’m lucky too that she’s still fighting. Shes giving a good fight at her age! I’ll keep this thread updated if I find out any more, just in case.

Honestly I think a lot of people would have given up on her by now. Sad but true, she’s lucky to have you!

She is with you every moment of the day, just know that she is there. She is watching over you and wants to see you smile, so she knows that she can rest in peace, without the burden of the knowledge that you are grieving. You did everything you could, don’t feel as though someone else could have saved her. It hard, I know, to lose such a valued…[Read more]

Thank you ever so much for your help. It means a lot to me.

We have been to three different vets numerous times. Our next appointment to see our usual vet is on Friday, sadly they can’t get an appointment any sooner as they aren’t in until Friday. Seeing the same vet seems to help as we don’t have to start at square one.

She doesn’t have a…[Read more]

I’m doing my best but I felt like I must be doing something wrong, so I really appreciate your reassurance and help. It’s nice not to feel alone.

Thanks again

Oh wow I’m beyond grateful I read through this!!!
I have been giving my dog meloxicam for months for his arthritis and added CBD in the mix for pain relief (and gave Olive that combo yesterday as well)

After clicking one of the links above and a quick google search Meloxicam should NOT be given with CBD!!! I had no clue! Both the dog and rabbit v…[Read more]

Well I’m so sorry but I’m not sure what to tell you and hopefully someone will more knowledge on how diet affects rabbit gassiness and overall gut health can weigh in. It sounds like you’ve been incredibly diligent about making sure you’re giving her a proper diet and trying your best to feed her the right things for her unique needs.
