Stasis recovery can take some time and can have some ups and downs, so I would just continue the care regimen until she’s 100% back to normal! The exotics vet can advise on how long to continue the metacam and how much.

At one point did you suspect a dental issue with her? I can’t remember, but sometimes dental issues can lead to stasis. I…[Read more]

Shes now refusing to eat her cecotropes, I’m not sure quite how many they have per day but there’s about 4-6 lots of cecotropes left out from the last 12ish hours 🙁 she is still eating nibbling here and there on grass and forage though and is excited to receive a treat or a tastier food item- when medicated.

Shes booked in with the exotics…[Read more]

If it’s cold where you are, you can’t put them outside if they’ve been in.  They are not acclimated to the weather.

I get where you’re coming from though.  Perhaps a laundry room?  That’s where my first hamster got banished to at night.

You can put buns outside, but they do need more than a dog crate. Could you make an enclosure for them that they can spend the night in? Perhaps in the kitchen so they wont bother you during the night.

I can never quite tell when she molts… It feels like she’s never actually molted? Fly away hairs come off her when brushing but I never see tufts so it is hard to tell. She is natural very long haired though so fur ingestion is an issue, we actually end up trying to tackle it by just shaving her fur down because daily grooming is too stressful…[Read more]

It’s been a while. I keep forgetting my password 😆

We moved house a few weeks ago, so pleased to have found somewhere new to live. Still getting settled but the animals adjusted well.

Luna had her kidneys checked the other day. When the vet was going over her history (we had to see a different one than normal), she confirmed that Luna had…[Read more]

Hello, I am here to expose the situation with my bunny.

I am from Mexico, English is not my primary lamguage so I’ll try to do my best.

We lost our beloved bunny 3 weeks ago, he was a black mini lop, we are heart broken, we loved him beyond words.

I searched thru this forum and found this post, my bunny had the exact same symptoms:

He was 2…[Read more]

Definately! 🙂 I’m so happy she will feel better now

That’s really great news! And amazing she ate a bit on her own, I’m sure she feels better having that thing out of there! What a relief!

Budja’s is out of surgery and recovering the vet called me and told me she is doing well, she ate her spring greens and is pretty doped up right now lol. They gave her intravenous fluids for some dehydration due to her water intake not being so well. The good news is, it wasn’t tooth involved… she had a little hole in her cheek that developed…[Read more]

That’s great they got her in earlier!

Keeping fingers and toes crossed for you!

Acting quickly is really the best thing for gut issues! I’m glad she’s bouncing back!

Is she molting? Molting is a common cause of GI issues, even when the bun doesnt seem to have been ingesting a lot of hair. Or it could have been the pumpkin! Some buns are really sensitive to new foods, especially if they havent eaten a variety of things…[Read more]

Ugh how awful. I’m so sorry you are dealing with this. 🙁 When a bun has so many issues it can be hard to know what’s related and what’s not.

Has the vet done a culture to see what type of bacteria you are dealing with? I don’t have a ton of experience with respiratory infections, but I know sometimes different antibiotics have to be tried to…[Read more]

Nellie seems to be bouncing back quite nicely. I’m a little stumped on the cause of this stasis episode. I did give her a little peice of pumpkin for the first time about a day ago so this may well be a reaction! She had some poops strung together with mucous but I haven’t seen anymore mucous ones.

When she was weighed at the vet shes actually…[Read more]

She hasn’t. I haven’t heard of that. I’ll ask her about it. Thank you.

I’m sorry your bunny is so sick. 🙁  Did the vet ever try doing a flush? That may help get all the gunk out at least.
