Yay! We hope he keeps gaining energy and getting better 🙂 Ben had a period of time during his recovery where he would lay down and breathe fast after hopping 4-5ft. It didn’t last too long though! I hope your sweet boy keeps eating and healing well 🙂

There’s not a lot you can do except try to be a valuable resource to your bun. I e be the bringer of food and treats and nice company. If he doesn’t want to go near you, don’t chase him or force him. It can take time for him to seek you out again. If your bun was very young (a few months), his distancing himself from you can very well be, at least…[Read more]

Another quick update, yesterday he looked very tired. Today much brighter and happier. Even munched on some hay.

Hi yes all the pics are from one foot only. I called the vet and they only have a opening for Monday afternoon. Should i leave it be or put something on it? Also i have some left over pain meds from the dental trim visit i gave him some of that to help him through this weekend.
