Unfortunately he hasn’t touched his water bottle. He is only drinking from his bowl. His new pen has been set up now so he can now free roam, he has the outside space all to himself. He will be a lot more happier now.

Hey I don’t know if this will be useful, but wanted to add, in case it does end up being from the litter, you might try switching to a grated litter pan , so that they aren’t directly sitting on the dirty litter. I was always having to take my rabbit in for sanitary shaves because she would sit in the litter pan or even sleep in there. once i gave…[Read more]

FYI I’m moving this to the Lounge section as it’s a bit more in line with that section.

This is really tough. I personally love watching his videos and have also been really upset by the patterns with the rabbits, so it’s very conflicting. At his old property he had them in an enclosure and the situation was much better. I do know that recently…[Read more]

Thank you 😊

I’m sorry that I don’t have anything insightful to say, that will make your situation better. I just wanted to say condolences on your loss, and I’m so sorry. It is clear you loved your bunny so much. I think the good thing is you can know that your bunny clearly had someone who loved him very much and had a good life. And that’s a wonderful thing.

When my bun was on metoclopramide and CC for an extended period of time, I  sometimes gave it with food, sometimes without. My vet never specified. Everything went well. Metoclopramide is typically given every 6-8 hours during the day (buns need to rest during the night unless your vet tells you to do meds round the clock).

@talesOfTybalt – did your rabbit Freya seem put off by the water after you did this? I wonder how overpowering the taste is to them. How much did you put in? Just a few drops?

Hey guys, I’m so sorry, I didn’t see any replies to this until now. Sorry for my late reply. Will absolutely try this out. Thank you. Any other advice I am all ears. I am likely having to rehome her with my mother due to this situation.

Thank you all for your kind words. Logically, I know I did what was best for him but I will always regret not knowing if he could have had a few more days or weeks, or even miraculously recovered. And I know recovery was not possible, I’ve seen the X-rays, ultrasound and blood work but I can’t help but wonder. I just wish I didn’t have to make…[Read more]

We cannot really say what the bun needs because we are not vets, but the best thing to do would be to get a second opinion from an exotics vet with dental experience. I’m not familiar with jar surgeries to correct alignment in rabbits.

Also to clarify, tooth extraction does count as surgery… there could be a concern that the molars are also…[Read more]

I’m sure your bun will be fine! Just be sure to get some cord protectors or keep them out of reach in the future.

This is what the wire looks like. I’m not sure if it’s a lot or not.

Have you syringe fed her? Often syringe feeding is necessary to get things going again.

That is a very low dose of metacam… I would give them a call back and say she isn’t responding to that dose.
