Aww, poor Fresno. 🙁  I’m sorry you haven’t seen much improvement. I agree with the others. You should revisit the dosage with the vet. Sometimes they just need a higher dose and bunnies can actually safely have quite a bit. Obviously, it isn’t without it’s risks. But when bunnies get old, the benefits often outweigh the risks when the goal is…[Read more]

Dana has given you good advice. It does seem like he was older than anyone thought when you got him, but I had a dog who wasn’t even 9 years old when she got bad arthritis.

As Dana says, you could talk to your vet about the meloxicam dosage. Meloxicam has a quite wide “therapeutic window” meaning you can safely increase the dose quite a lot. My…[Read more]

It sounds like bunny puberty! She’s right around that age, it’s very normal for them to get a bit moody during this time as they transition from a baby to adult. I would start thinking about booking her for her spay, and once she’s past the teenage phase she will settle into her adult personality. Just keep doing things to bond with her and spend…[Read more]

It’s so hard to watch our babies age before our eyes. 🙁

He was really so lucky you found him, you gave him a new life and another chance! He did seem young before, but I bet you are right in that he is older than you thought.

There was a supplement called myristol that helped my bridge bunny Bertha with her arthritis, so you might give that a…[Read more]

So far the sunflower seeds don’t seem to be helping much, if at all, for his weight. I can tell his arthritis is bothering him despite the daily meloxicam and he’s been sleeping a lot more (he’s wobbly and every time he gets up, before he starts hopping, he stretches his legs out behind him and then kind of just drags them up. Not just once in a…[Read more]

I love Bertie’s stripes! They are so distinctive!

I’ve had my bun for a year and 3 months, so I’m still newish, but I’ll add a few things I’ve learned and hopefully it helps!

I found it’s easier not to step on my bunny if I’m barefoot rather than socks because I can feel his fur and have faster reactive time (in addition to doing the shuffle in…[Read more]

Aww, it’s a shame it took a while for Podge to be adopted but I’m so glad to hear he found a family and bunwife!  My family jokes that we won the lottery with CB since he’s such an easy bun and seemingly litter box trained himself, etc., I think this is due to him not having raging hormones. So really cryptorchid buns should be highly sought a…[Read more]

Your bun is so cute! Blossom likes to run in to (and circle) my feet then she nips me (I think it’s because she got scared) when it’s time for hay so now, when giving her hay, I shake the bag I put the hay in above her litterbox and tell her “litterbox Blossom” and she hops in and I tell her to “stay there” and she usually does. But the shuffling…[Read more]

I totally understand too. I never wrote a Bridge post for Vilde bc my heart shattered in even smaller pieces when I tried to. And you, so very kindly, wrote the bridge post for Bam 💔

I remember the baby pic of Potamus when you held her in your hand. She was such a little chonk 🥰

My heart has joined the Thousand, for my friend stopped running…

That makes total sense!
