Changmi started the topic Bunny not eating, no blockage or gas in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 6 years, 5 months ago
My rabbit is usually very playful and energetic. She’s also greedy for food and will push her sister out of the way sometimes to get to it.
Today, however, she hasn’t eaten, and she’s just been hiding in the corner. She isn’t hunched up but she’s also just sitting still and not lounging/playing as normal.
I took her to the vet and they said she…[Read more]

He is kinda leaning towards one side but mostly shaking his head up and down. No he does not react like in pain when I touch his ears. Do you think it’s an emergency cause he normally eating drinking and pooping. Could it be something neurological? ??

As long as the callus isn’t an open sore, you could try wrapping it. Here is a how-to: http://www.bio.miami.edu/hare/sorehocks.html

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Hi everyone, I have posted here before regarding my 4.5 year old holland lop named Mowgli. I have been struggling with the development of calluses on his back heels for about 1.5 years and in that time I’ve taken him to the vet numerous times only for them to say he is fine, they are seen in most rabbits and that t…[Read more]

Thnkiew so much 😢 reading your comment really bring my mood up. I couldn’t lose another bunny at this moment since my previous one passed due to old age 😔 I know adopting an adult rabbit is hard but didn’t know it will be this challenging

It’s a really, really good sign that he pooped, and that he also ate his cecal poop! Very good news! You are doing things right!
Any brand of simethicone baby gas drops is fine. They vary in strenght between 20 too 100 mg/ml, but they’re all fine to use and dosage is roughly the same regardless of strenght. It’s not taken up by the body, it just…[Read more]

Alright I will monitor him closely. About the baby gas drop I checked with my nearby vet and they don’t have the ones you recommend. Other brand will be fine right? I gave my bum a little tummy massage so far didn’t hear any noise. It did poop but it’s soft and he manage to ate all of the soft one. Will keep you guys updated 😭

It’s great that he has eaten a bit more! It can be some time before you see poop, because there just isnt very much material in the intestines to make poop from. It’s very very good that’s he eats himself. If he stops eating you will have to syringe feed him even if he hates you for it. It’s actually good when a bun puts up a bit of a fight,…[Read more]

If there’s no gas, you dont have to give him gasdrops. Have you seen any poop lately?

wonka replied to the topic bunny not eating pellets and hay in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 6 years, 5 months ago
I’m not sure if it has gas coz the X-ray turns out to have no gas or bloat. So should I still give it?

Bam replied to the topic bunny not eating pellets and hay in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 6 years, 5 months ago
He’s beautiful!
Hay is the most important food for rabbits (as you know), but if a rabbit refuses to eat hay, you have to give him other food. It is important that there is food in the bunny tummy practically all the time. If he eats pellets and greens and critical care from a bowl, that’s fine for now. Even treats are fine now, in moderate…[Read more]

Bunnies and a squirrel because we have 3 young red squirrels in the garden, and they’re so funny to watch!

My bunny have been eating a bowl of fresh greens and pellets. It doesn’t want to eat hay at all! I went to the vet and they have an X-ray for him m. The results came out all normal. There is no bloat and his teeth are fine both front and cheek teeth. Doctor did say the X-ray couldn’t see the inner side of the cheek teeth so if it doesn’t eat for 2…[Read more]

Describe how he is shaking his head. Is he leaning to one side, shaking, pawing at his ears, scratching? If you touch his ear, does he act like it bothers him? Those would be signs of something inside his ear causing irritation. You are correct, possible causes include ear wax or ear mites. Sometimes problems in the ear are not obvious when trying…[Read more]
