That seems very high to me, but I realize veterinary costs Bart widely by location. My guy had 3 bouts with stasis during his first year and has had nothing since, and his 24 hour stay each time was about $100 to $125 including meds. They only have a tech at night but the tech can administer fluids and meds as needed and call the on call very if…[Read more]

LOL! Tybalt is definitely keeping you on your toes 😀

Which ever gender they are, still the cutest bun. I mean look at them in that hat!!

Oh also you might consider putting a second barrier between them so they can’t directly harm each other through the bars, like a second pen or something so they have a few inches.

The mounting definitely could be hormonal but after the hormones subside you should expect the possibility of continued mounting until they work out dominance. They use that as a move to establish…[Read more]

That was very helpful! Gave me a lot to think about. The exotics wing is closed at night so she’d just be monitored by vet techs that aren’t necessarily super trained in rabbits. I think I am going to have her come home tonight. The radiogram they said was to confirm there was no blockage so that they could prescribe motility medicine (i think)

Can’t wait to find out!♥️😁

Hahaha!

Hmmm, do you have a strong reason to suspect a blockage? Such as, has she eaten a lot of fabric or carpet?

How confident are you with syringe feeding and giving meds?

Our vet (which isn’t a true ER), will usually keep bunnies there until they start pooping on their own again, but they are not an ER so there aren’t crazy fees (just “cage” fees,…[Read more]

Bombur has Enterotoxemia when he was about 6 months old. He needed to stay at the vet for 36 hours. It was pretty scary, but honestly I’m glad he was at the vet. They force fed him and gave him fluids and painkillers. I had a dying bunny go into the vet, and 36 hours later he was happily eating all the food. If he ever had stasis like that a…[Read more]

@hiphopbunny Thank you!😀 Trixie likes it!

@rabbitlover908 thanks for the advice!

If anyone else has any ideas please share them!!

Oh also she eats Timothy hay

@Wick, it’s only an inch or so high, and she’s perfectly willing to jump a foot and a half to get into her cage!

@Asriel and Bombur, she’s a year or two old (not sure exactly because of the circumstances I acquired her in), but she hasn’t been fixed yet. I was hoping to breed her with my cousin’s New Zealands. I know it’s harder to litter train…[Read more]

She has 2 table spoons of pellets a day about a cup and a half of veggies(spring mix) and she has 3 pieces of dried papaya as a treat. The last she was weight which was at the end of April at the vet she weighed about 4.4 pounds.

Yup. We get our hay there too. 🙂  And dog food, and cat food… 😆

I second everything dface said. And as for the senior pellets, I’d change back to adult pellets. The most common health issue with buns is overweight, and more so as the bun becomes less active with age. But then there are buns that are hard keepers, and who will have trouble keeping weight on as they age. You see the same thing with horses- some…[Read more]

She is probably getting some hydration due to the CC. A big contributor for thirst is how drying eating hay is, so if a rabbit isn’t eating hay, it makes sense they may not drink as much water as you’d expect.
