Activity

I’m so glad he’s eating and pooping again and I hope his mouth feels better soon!!

FWIW, that is a lot of feedings!  I used to do 4-6 per day until coming to our current vet, who says 3 per day when not eating is OK, or 2 per day if eating a bit on their own.  Then stasis treatment got a lot more doable on our end.  Of course do what you think is…[Read more]

He just finished his SECOND bowl of soaked pellets within a couple of hours! He’s hungry alright… That seems to conform my suspicion that he has problems while chewing.

Thanks for all the support Dana, Meg, and Bam! You do tend to go crazy on a week of 3 hour naps and constant worrying 😵 I’m just so happy that he’s off CC now: now it’s just…[Read more]

Poop 💃💃💃

Fingers so crossed for more poop and a hearty appetite! Pain relief is often the most vital part of stasis treatment according to my (rabbit savvy) vet.

He does seem a bit too young for dental problems, but it does occur. Wick’s Wick is an example of that. He needed several burrs to set his bite straight. Trauma to the teeth or getting…[Read more]

Meloxicam is often hard on the tummy, especially with prolonged used. Famotidine (brand name pepcid) can help with that.It’s an OTC med, but it comes in the form of pills, so it needs to be dissolved in water and dosed with a syringe. You could ask the vet that’s prescribing the meloxicam and gabapentin.

Is she molting? The most common cause for…[Read more]

Great idea Ellie!

So many adorable floppy buns! Definitely a mood pick me up!

Here’s Dorian and Miu

Yay for Molly coming out of her shell! And Blossom too!

I just took my two to the vet for their first rhd vaccine. It was less an ordeal than it could be, but poor Miu just doesn’t do well. It doesn’t help she’s not as bonded with me as Dorian is.  He was not happy mind you, but he took his treat and the gave me a foot flick (and then came back…[Read more]

I don’t think those differences in personality are a problem at all in terms of their happiness. It’s also pretty hard to predict how a rabbit’s personality may develop over time in a new home.

Bonding a quad is a lot of work (as is having four rabbits in general). Not trying to discourage you necessarily, just saying don’t feel pressured to add…[Read more]

It’s hard to know how it would go with the girls. Some buns will just have 1 issue after the vet that gets resolved, then they never have a fallout again. Others might have more issues.

As to whether to go for the trio or a pair, you could do a test date with all 3 and see how it goes, and/or do dates between each of the girls and your new boy…[Read more]

Mylicon is one brand name that makes simeticone. If it says its simethicone as the active ingredient, then it should be safe to use!

Yep, it showed up!

Thanks Ellie, Dorian is about 1.8kg and Miu is a bit smaller. I have one like that for Dorian that I like, it’s a bit small for both of them but ended up using it today as wasn’t finding one I liked right off. Miu stretched out on top of Dorian, who ended up completely squished, but I don’t think he minded. I am thinking just the same model but…[Read more]

She’s gorgeous! I notice that she hasn’t got a very big dewlap, which is common in fully grown female of the large breeds. If she is from one of the really big breeds, then she’s probably still young.

How’s her behaviour? Does she mark territory with urine or poop, or does she hum or run circles around people? That may also give you a clue about her age.

I can see it, and I’m just a regular user.

Glad to hear that she’s doing better!

Our boy is just recovering from a bout of stasis, and he has trouble eating his pellets too. Veg and hay are all fine, exactly the same as your girl. I just soaked some pellets in water, and these are going down quickly now.

He’s not had a dental check yet, but that’s going to happen soon if he keeps having…[Read more]

He was eating some pellets, but quite slowly. I soaked some pellets in water, and these are going down quickly now. If he doesn’t perk up during the weekend, he’s going for a dental exam.

Hi 🙂

Thanks for advice which I followed, since she really seemed to be recovered (for now) we have only done a few bonding sessions in a cleaned semi neutral area, again the same but Frida seems to be approaching Tila more, but still running when its visca versa. Unfortunately I think she is always going to be backwards and forwards to the vets…[Read more]
