This isn’t my normal vet, so I’m not sure if this is a great vet. They said they want to keep her overnight because they want to give her injectable meds first thing in the morning.

That’s a possibility and unfortunately I don’t have too many thoughts since I can’t see her or interact with her. My initial thought is what they would do overnight if they don’t even have staff overnight? If you’re able to give her that attention and care, you may be better equipped than they are, in addition to any medication that can give you…[Read more]

I found a vet, they are giving her fluids,  and doing xrays. They don’t have staff staying overnight but they still want to keep her over night. I’m scared if I leave her, she will be too nervous to poop. What do you guys think?

They do not go into the free roam area together, they alternate throughout the day. I agree that it would be quite stressful, how long would you do full pen swaps?

Sometimes, when a rabbit is not eating a certain food, it could be due to having problems with their teeth.  It can be easier to eat some foods than other foods.  If she continues to refuse the hay, or doesn’t want any other food she normally eats,  you may want to have her teeth looked at by the vet.  Carrots are high in sugar and should only be…[Read more]

So I called my vet and their rabbit vet isn’t in today. I’ve also called 8 other vets around me and none of them can see her. I’m not really sure what to do

How long have you had her? My buns definitely vary in the way they shed. Some it’s not as noticeable, other’s look like they got attacked by a weed whacker. Some seem to go through multiple really bad sheds a year, other’s just 1 really bad 1 plus other lighter ones.

I would call the vet. Since she was just spayed, she may need more pain meds and supportive care. They may be able to give you pain meds without seeing her but will be able to advise. It could be that she just needs more syringe feeding and pain management.

Keep giving her critical care, especially since she is eating it on her own. The more food…[Read more]

Oh yes, 90 is hot! No one has AC in my region either so we all turn into big babies when it gets into the mid- 80s!

No more poops so far. I’m thinking of calling the vet now. What do you think? I have a history of calling the vet when it’s not necessary, I’m prone to panicking 🤪

Ha! It’s true I am such a wimp when it comes to heat. To be fait though it was actually up to 90F the other day, mid 80s in the house when I was a bit worried for Dorian. He seemed less affected than me to be honest. Today’s what I would call perfect summer weather, though Dorian has decided today is lounge in bed day. Probably all the…[Read more]

Oh I just looked at some photos, they look sooo soft!

I worried about giving her a tummy rub because she was spayed a couple weeks ago and I don’t want to hurt her

It’s great that she ate the critical care herself and she has been pooping. While that doesn’t mean the worry is over, that’s a great sign.

I just gave her some critical care and she basically ate it herself (I didn’t have any pineapple) I think she pooped. I found three or four poops on her bed and I’m 90% sure it was clean before. I’m going to wait a little longer to see if she poops anymore

You might be a little mistaken on that just based on the fact that some rabbits look absolutely awful when they’re molting. Two of my rabbits still look nice and the 3rd one has ugly lines in his hair due to his coloring and he blows his coat so he constantly has these but mangy looking clumps of hair. I love him but man does he look bad when he…[Read more]

Yes I would give critical care and a tummy rub ASAP, and get her to the vet if she doesn’t perk right up. If it is just gas it should resolve quickly, but the pain and lack of appetite from it can cause stasis to set in.

Generally buns do OK without too much cooling help until it gets above 80 F. But of course things are relative… I can tell you’re in the PNW since 75 F seems warm to you!

I do have a very good vet I can call. I was just going to wait another hour because that’s when the meds are supposed to kick in. She’s been drinking on her own fine.  I’ll try the critical care. I’ll try the pineapple too, thanks
