I’m sorry you had to let him go. Judging by what you’ve written here now and before, it was his time.

I have been in a somewhat similar situation. What helped me was to know that I did everything I could. I spared no effort nor any expense. Me and my bun were a team. A very small team, but still a great team.

You loved your bun. We cant know of…[Read more]

I am so very sorry. I regret I dont have advice on how to cope. 🙁  I just wanted to say I empathise so much and acknowledge the depth of your grief.  It can be hard for to explain it to people in “real life”.

We want to do so much for our little fur companions and make it alright for them. It’s really hard to accept when we have to let them go…[Read more]

Thanks, both. It was definitely scab-like, as opposed to sawdust sticking to them. I’ve been checking them every day since the post and there’s no more evidence of it, but a little bit of staining around that area (very very minor). The sawdust shavings are fairly large, and like you mentioned, Dana, I do the same where I place a good pile of hay…[Read more]

She still wont eat, I’m not sure what to do. I thought the pain meds would be helping by now. I gave her a little bit of simethicone an hour ago but she’s in the exact same spot now as when I gave it to her and none of the food in front of her is gone.

I know the decision was very difficult, it was done though out of love and was the final act of that love and bond shared. You did everything you could for him, please don’t ever feel guilty or that you gave up on him, as you did everything you could for him and to help him. He is no longer ill now, I once felt much the same, but what helps me is…[Read more]

She’s supposed to get 0.2 ml of metacam every 24 hours and 0.1 ml of baytril the antibiotic every 24 hrs. This seems like such a tiny amount? If any of you have been in this situation, how much were you told to give? I know the vet knows more than I do, I just worry. She still hasnt ate yet but we’ve only been home about half an hour so it may…[Read more]

In most cases, the rabbit will be fine, especially if it wasn’t an active wire and they didn’t keep monching and eat a lot of the wire material. Simply monitor for the next couple hours to ensure your rabbit isn’t showing any signs of pain or distress.

Update: Since it wasnt an actual scheduled appointment we waited for almost 2 hours to see the vet. Finally when we got in, she checked her and said she wasn’t in stasis yet because she could hear gurgles in her belly. She gave me some gut motility meds, metacam, and antibiotics. I already have some fluids at home so she told me to go ahead and…[Read more]

How long is Freya when she’s laying down? I would opt for which ever one she could lay down in.

When a bun has really severe malocclusion (tooth misalignment), incisor removal is often the way to go, otherwise they need constant dental trims. I do know of several buns who had their incisors extracted and they got along just fine. All we had to do was chop their salads up into smaller pieces so it was easier for them to handle. If the vet is…[Read more]

Thank you so much Dana! I really like the idea of using the fan for white noise. I get what you mean about daily free roaming being potentially better than 100% free roaming. They are always super excited in the beginning and then they just chill out haha.

Aw that’s so precious, sometimes I wish I had more cuddly buns but they do enjoy a good head rub.

I give my two a Sherwood Digestive Support every night.  They love them.

Brushing Boo, unless absolutely necessary, would not be worth it.  Our bond would be destroyed.

Knock on wood, never had any tummy troubles.

Hope your bun is feeling better.

Thanks both! I didn’t even think about the possibility of wheeled carriers, that’s great! the carrier I have was always nice and snug for Tyb and Freya when she was small but I’ve not needed it for a while and now she can just about get her head in 🙂

Theres an abundance of material ones but Freya is a chewer so that’s a no go… I’ve found one t…[Read more]

Don’t feel bad! And you aren’t bothering us at all!  (Also I just watched your video, beautiful bunnies! And wonderful set-up!)

It’s actually really good that they still like each other through the fence, and they do look good together during that video for now, but you are right in that this will likely escalate to more serious scuffles. But…[Read more]
