Thank you so much for the responses!

She’s doing better today with quite a few rounds of CC and a single dose of pain meds. She’s back  to eating hay, yet a little less than she normally does, so i think she is still recovering. She is back to being pretty perky like before.

As far as why we haven’t had pellets in her diet since she was very…[Read more]

Thank you all, I’ll try desensitizing. See if that works for her.

This sounds great! It is normal for rabbit-savvy vets to not give a painkiller for young boys post surgery.

I’m so sorry for your loss. 🙁 How amazing that he made it to 11!

Those noises are so traumatizing, but it’s thought that the noises (and the head tilting back) are a reflex that occurs after the bun is already unconscious, so they are not indicating any pain in that moment. I’ve sadly experienced a few really traumatic bun deaths and what helped…[Read more]
