True diarrhea is an emergency, but it sounds like he has had some normal poops since then so I think it’s more likely he had some extra soft cecotropes and some gas from all the extra treats, which could lead to full GI stasis if it gets bad. Def cut out treats and fruit in general (many rabbits have issues with fruit, I only give it to mine as a…[Read more]

I’m so so sorry for your loss. How amazing that he made it to 13, but I know it doesn’t make losing him any easier.  You did the right thing by helping him pass.

Sending peace to you and your family <3

Blu was beautiful! How wonderful that you got to be together for +13 years ❤

I’m sorry he got ill towards the end of his life, but you really did everything you possibly could to help him. It’s still so very hard to have to make that final decision.

Blu and Oreo must have been around pretty much all your children’s lives, so both of them will…[Read more]

((((Good dental vibes))))

Twilight anesthesia sounds like a great option!

I have cut up hay in a kitchen bowl with normal scissors. Don’t use your best scissors, hay and grass ruin scissor blades. You can also soften hay with some water or steam to make it easier to chew.

What a beautiful tribute to a rabbit who truly had such a wonderful life, full of love. It must have been such an amazing experience for Blu to have you by his side for so long, making the best decisions for him to maximize his time with you. I’m sure he carried all that love with him to other side of the rainbow bridge and it’s still keeping him…[Read more]

Hi again – so my bun is booked for a dental procedure on Monday. I am a nervous wreck, but it has to be done! He will be sedated but as I understood it, it will be like “twilight anesthesia.”

Picked him up some Critical Care and need to finely chop up his hay.

Please send good vibes to him! I love him so much!

Absolutely no problem! 🙂

I’m locking this thread now, to keep the discussion in the first thread.

Hi and welcom Zion and Fuzzy 🥰

Can you try offering him pellet mash? Or critical care or some other recovery food? If his mouth is hurting but he’s still hungry he will likely eat it on his own and it will help keep his strength up.

It’s not uncommon for buns to need a dental burring at some point as they age as their bone density shifts a bit. Usually the procedure is quite…[Read more]

He’s had a urine test done and it came back normal and he also went through a month of treatment for EC but there wasn’t much of a difference at the end of it, if any. I’m not really noticing any mobility issues, we thought maybe he didn’t want to hop into a litter box because of arthritis or something but now his litter box barely even requires a…[Read more]

Hello and thank you for the replies.

Apologies for the double.

I called yesterday and the vet is getting him in tomorrow for a general exam. Starting to feel a little worried because his ears are cooler than usual (not cold, just cooler) which I know is a sign he is not feeling his best. So, I need to keep him eating and hydrated until then.

I…[Read more]

Hi Z&F, and welcome to BB!

I’m sorry there wasn’t an updated welcome thread, so please feel free to make a new topic introducing your rabbits! Sometimes pictures are glitchy, so you can always provide links as well.

Hi Everyone! Super excited to say hi!! I just joined the forum and Zion and Fuzzy are here to say Hi as well!
