I totally understand. I too look back and I think I should have done this, or I shouldn’t have done that. My French lop, Wolf, hated medication. Even at his weakest point when he weighed a tiny 3.8kg (he was usually 5kg), he was still a large and strong rabbit and impossible to restrain. I used to get so frustrated with him when he wouldn’t tak…[Read more]

Oh my god Em, I cried, and cried really hard when I read your thread. And I’m truly very sorry for what you’ve been through. Trust me, I feel you.

You even expressed a feeling that I never thought of, yes, this is it, I feel my precious girl was robbed.

It is extremely painful to think about “if only I had”. I feel it’s unfair because we could…[Read more]

First off, my deepest condolences – I know how it feels, and I honestly have no answers for you, so thought I would share my boys story as it is somewhat similar to yours though not as extreme to show you are not alone, but you have to try and not blame yourself – you trusted a medical professional, so it is not your fault though I understand it…[Read more]

I agree it could be food security setting in and just realizing that grazing is a fine option as opposed to scarfing it down! It’s also a nice thing for peace of mind in a way, as it cuts down on any choking risk if pellet eating is a more… calm time, haha.

Surely the happy memories we shared aren’t replaced with anger and sadness. I always look at photos and remember memories with smiles 🙂

But the last 5 months were truly traumatic for us. The negligence of the vets caused her to suffer miserably, but I was too “innocent” that I did not know.

I feel it’s unfair because we could have had many more…[Read more]

Hmmm, it’s possible she could have minor dental issue, or some other discomfort. One of my buns would go off his pellets when he wasn’t feeling great, but there were other signs as well. It could also just be that he’s feeling secure about his food and doesn’t feel the need to wolf everything down.

Since it’s going along with also less interest…[Read more]

i know nobody has replied yet but i just wanted to update and say that instead of handing her all the pellets she didn’t eat tonight i left them and within an hour she had gone back into her pen and finished them and her salad in a few different trips. tomorrow i’m going to feed her a couple hours later and see if that makes any difference.

I am so sorry for what you have been through and for the loss of your bunny. 🙁 That all must have been incredibly stressful for both you and your bunny.

I must be so difficult not having a trustworthy vet. I’m not sure if it will be of any comfort, but oddly enough dental abscesses CAN pop up seemingly overnight, and they are notoriously…[Read more]

Thanks again for the feedback, it’s much appreciated.

I’m so sorry for your loss. 🙁 This is very tragic and honestly is very unusual (usually if a bun goes off their hay there are other symptoms as well). I agree it can be really hard to track things when you have more than 1 rabbit. The suggestion to weight your other buns regularly is a good one, I usually give mine a good feel as often as I…[Read more]
