If you don’t mind me asking, how much did it cost when the vet gave you the medicines and fluids? I just want to be ready in case something happens to my bun.

It is scary, but you are doing what you can. When a bun hasnt eaten for a while, it will be some time before it starts pooping again after having eaten. It can be many hours, even a day, before you see poop.

Liquid food is good because fluids are super-important. Did they give her sub q fluids? What is the liquid food called (if you know)? I…[Read more]

We ended up taking her to the vet late last night. They said we could hospitalize her but it would be close to $2000. Instead they sent us home with liquid food to give her every three hours, pain meds, and another medication. She still hasn’t gone to the bathroom. I read some stories about this online and now I’m kind of scared

I’m not sure if you’ve read Michaela’s thread with a lot of great ideas, but I was in your exact place a year ago! My parents were dead set against me getting any pet, but after one year of trying to prove myself I’ve finally got a bunny and my parents LOVE him. I’m feeling pretty lazy at the moment so I’m just going to copy want I put on Michaela…[Read more]

You have been given great advice. I always try simethicone baby gas drops first of all, and very light tummy massage. Also try to make her move around, it helps gas to pass through. Make sure she keeps warm.

In circumstances like these, the bun can have any treat it wants. If she still likes lemon leaves, give her lemon leaves.

You can also try Simethicone (baby gas drops). One dose of 1ml is usually enough when my guy has gas.

It also depends on whether or not your bunny “blows their coat”. Some bunnies will go through a heavy molt, shedding tons of fur all at once. This is usually a “seasonal” thing. Other bunnies don’t really do this. Instead, they shed small amounts 24/7 365 days a year.

He ate two treats but now he won’t eat them anymore. I’ll try the mushed pellet idea, I think we have a needle less syringe. If we can’t get him to eat I will take him to the emergency vet.

He may be gassy and/or in pain. If he let’s you, you can try to do some tummy massages to move around and help release any gas bubbles.  There’s a YouTube video thru HowCast on some methods of giving tummy massages.

If he hasn’t eaten at all aside from a treat or two, you may need to force feed him. Do you have a needless syringe? You can create…[Read more]

So Bernard I hadn’t eaten at all today. He’ll eat treats if I give them to him but he won’t eat anything else. I have an appointment for Saturday. What can I do to make him eat

thanks!! she doesn’t seem to mind so i guess if the cat kind is cheaper why not?!

@Wick I love the idea of Fable snoozing in the sun on the windowsill! So cute! 🙂
