Hoping for news that he’s doing better. (((get-well-soon-bun)))

I wonder if the narrator was referring to Psoroptes Cuniculi (ear mite) and shortened that to “P. cuniculi” because that would sound VERY similar.

I remember Oreo and Blu. I’m glad to read they did spend the majority of their long lives together. It’s such a head time on our hearts and psyche, making those final decisions for our beloved fur companions. It’s such a internal war going back and forth on what is right. It does sound like this time was right to help help go peacefully and I do…[Read more]

Pam, I am so sorry you had to say goodbye to your dear boy. This is so sad. Why must they get old?
Spike was lucky to have someone who knew how to help him through those challenges. You’d been down that road before.

I know he would have help you through your own hard days, just by being his sweet, bunny self.
I’m grateful you had years with him…[Read more]

Dear Bun !

I know you were aware his time to go was not far away but I also know that doesn’t make anything easier. It just one of the hardest things about sharing life with our furry companions.

Did you have him from quite young, Dana? One of those pic looks more like a baby, although he had a baby look his whole life. Yet I feel like I’ve onl…[Read more]

Yeah I can’t see either. I have used the “Seek” app and it’s very similar! I’ll have to check out PlantNet and see if I like it more. 🙂

I cant see what these flowers are. I’d need a close-up of one of them to stand a chance 😄 I use a free app called PlantNet to identify plants. You upload a pic, then you get suggestions that you can choose from. If I feel uncertain, I upload 2 or more pics from different angles. That enables me to narrow down the hits.

As with mushrooms, if you…[Read more]

It sounds like a wise thing to do, esp since the weekend is coming up. He might need some sub q fluids, a bit higher dose pain meds and perhaps a motility drug (for example metoclopramide). There’s an appetite-stimulating med called  Mirtazapin (originally a human anti-depressant that is now also used to stimulate appetite in pets).

Sigh…

Unfortunately, the lack of eating, even though I have fed him Critical Care around the clock, seems to be turning into GI stasis. Taking him into the vet this morning.

While I have kept feeding him, I gave him the benefit of the doubt to “feel better” in 3-4 days, but his change is droppings led me to call the vet.

I feel as though I…[Read more]

It’s great that he has the energy and enthusiasm to chew a chew toy! Chewing a chew toy is indeed a front teeth thing, its hay eating that requires the sideways motion and necessary grinding of the molars. The squeaky sound probably means there’s still some uneveness, but I know from experience  that minor uneveness can be ground down if the bun…[Read more]

The narrator said that after the dr looked in the rabbits ear for like a second and said it was EC when it was just mites. 🤷‍♀️

Thank you for your reply and thoughts!

Yes, most certainly, I am feeding him Critical Care throughout the day (and night) and he is mostly his vibrant self. He is strong as I can feel his strength when he pushes me away during feedings!

Still, he is not back on his regular diet. I wonder if the cut to his tongue as well as bruise on his cheek is…[Read more]

Happy to help! I love talking about parasites 😀

Excellent job explaining Dana! I wonder why the TV show would say that. Unless they were just trying to say they are both parasites?

That clears up a ton! Thank you so much!

Ah that’s very frustrating! Some buns see the “litter box” as more of a zone, rather than the box itself, so I think that’s probably what’s happening here. One thing you might try is to replace the flooring with a sheet of vinyl flooring (temporarily) to see if that helps. Many buns pee on soft things or he could be triggered to mark by some…[Read more]
