I’m not sure why the vet chose albendazole. I will definitely be asking them about that tomorrow.

How long has she been getting treatment? Is there are reason for using albendazole instead of fenbendazole? Currently, fenbendazole is the standard for EC treatment. Unlike albendazole, fenbendazole can cross the blood-brain barrier.

As you said, the vast majority of bunnies simply do not like being picked up or held. This doesn’t mean they can’t come to tolerate it though. You can work on getting her more used to being handled, but you may need to be more firm about it. When you grab her, you have to do it with confidence. Otherwise, she will find ways to avoid being picked…[Read more]

UPDATE: now she’s eating her veggies like crazy… she’s so back and forth every single day would it make sense to put her down IF she stops eating veggies? I’m beside myself right now, I just lost an 18 year old cat. I can’t imagine losing her too this is beyond difficult and exhausting.

Yes! It was stressful but they were sooo cute!!

It’s so hard to avoid the temptation, I have backtracked on what I had in my head so many times out of being impatient lol.

It looks like mucus to me (but agree it’s hard to tell from the photo). Mucus in poop is not uncommon with stasis as it can occur when their is irritation to the gut lining. It should resolve as her stasis resolves.

What medications is she on?

I like The Bunny Lady!

Hmm… I can’t imagine grain mites sticking around if their food source is eliminated. Are you sure they are grain mites? They would be super tiny and hard to see…. like less than half a millimeter. Are they attracted to the bedding/litter you are using? What does your bunny have in his enclosure?

It’s hard to see in the photo. I would say it’s either mucus or a foreign material. Did you squish it to see if it… how should I say this… disintegrated between your fingers? If so, then it is mucus. If it’s a solid piece of something, then it’s foreign material that she ate and then pooped out.

I don’t watch too many rabbit youtubers, but I really love the Howcast series by Mary Cotter with Amy Sedaris. They are very helpful and informative videos, and I find them to be very trustworthy! I trust Mary Cotter a lot!

omg ducklings?!  that’s great you were able to help them!

And you’re right, at this point the damage to Coop and Bonnie’s bond has been done so might as well keep trying! I’m tempted to do some easy sessions this weekend with mine but I think i’m going to wait till they are settled with the side-by-side pens. Gotta take my own advice!
