Hmmm I was thinking that she must be part Netherland Dwarf too, but I wasn’t too sure! Thank you for your response 🙂

Wow, that’s awful. Let us know how things went.

Hmm… this is puzzling. I still wonder if it’s the veggies though. There is no harm in experimenting.

A lot of good advice already said, but just thought I would share my experience as a new bun owner. Previously I have had cats, and I would say they are definitely more destructive (though it can vary between the cat and the bun, Dorian is actually pretty chill most of the time). They aren’t quite as engaging in playing as a cat or especially a…[Read more]

Well our appointment was at 3 and they just now took him back at 4:40

making an ill rabbit wait in a car with construction going on in the parking lot for almost two hours in 80 degree heat.. not giving me a lot of hope that they know/care about what they are doing here.
I wish I could just pick up meloxicam at the store and take care of him myself.

I agree. Such rabbit improvement suggests it was an actual stroke and not EC.

That’s the thing she never was off them I just came to the conclusion it must have been that because anything else then she would have been unwell before now but she has been fine.

I took her off them completely for maybe a week and stuck with foraging .. spent a week getting her back on them and she has been on them properly this week but kept…[Read more]

Was she off all veggies before and you just recently reintroduced them? She may just be a bunny that can’t have veggies. They do exist.

Hello guys ..I am back 🙁

So I really am pulling my hair out now. My boyfriend came to get me from work last night saying “she’s doing it again” but when we got home she was fine. She has been fine all day today, playing and running around eating and everything as normal.

I have been giving her some veggies, parsley and some leafy stuff in a…[Read more]

@HipHopBunny

Thank you! She does love that peep toy 😆

Orchard is fine too. 🙂

Definitally a mix breed, my girlies are all mixes too. Hmmm, agree with Wick, my guess would be half Netherland Dwarf, and a half… maybe half Rhinelander? She’s got the spots of a Rhinelander. She’s very adorable I must say. 😉

I can’t thank you enough for your help. I’m sorry I’m late getting back to you. I don’t know how to receive notifications.

We haven’t been feeding her any greens for about a week ( she would only eat fresh greens a couple of weeks ago so we didn’t have much choice). She has always had intolerance to fresh veggies so we’ve always stuck to dried…[Read more]

I definitely see some sprinkles of Netherland Dwarf in there. The eye shape/size and nose flatness are very Netherland Dwarf-like.

Thanks for the help, Hazel! Instead of using timothy grass for her could I use orchard grass hay?

EC is often called bunny stroke, which is rather confusing. The symptoms can be similar to a vascular stroke, but they dont have to be. Many ec buns only get symptoms from their kidneys, for example.

A stroke is, as you know , a vascular event. We had another case here on BB only this spring with a rabbit that suffered a vascular stroke. I would…[Read more]

@HipHopBunny thank you so much for your kind words 🙂 You are definitely making me feel even more confident 🙂

A rabbit’s digestive system is very delicate, if something goes wrong they can get GI stasis which can be fatal. I think every rabbit owner has dealt with tummy upsets, refusal to eat and the such. If a rabbit hasn’t eaten for more than 12 hours it’s important to take them to the vet right away to prevent it from turning into full blown GI stasis.…[Read more]

I wouldn’t say that they get sick often if they are given proper care, which I’m sure you will. However, sometimes rabbits can get health issues, so I think it would be good to look into those as well before adopting. Certain types of hay, litter, and pellets could be bad for your buns. I do not know all of them, but I do know that moldy hay, and…[Read more]
