For the sake of my sanity too… They suddenly had a fight yesterday 😔 Lucky it was very easy to break them up: just a HEY! and a tap on the back stopped them enough so I could separate them.

Before that there was some chasing going on, and I was filming it because I wanted to ask people here: is this still acceptab….? oh SH…!!@ Well, there I…[Read more]

Ellie, they’re so adorable together! They’d better bond, if only for the sake of aesthetics 🥰🐰🐰

Woohoo! Glad that it went well ^_^ Hoping for a speedy recovery for Archie!

Update: He got neutered this morning and is now safe and home <3

Critical Care Tips and Tricks

Oxbow actually mentions you can freeze CC to extend shelf-life, but too many freeze-thaw cycles can break down the nutrients too much.

I’ve talked with Bas today to see some positives in the situation that happened yesterday.

They were easy to separate with a tap on the back and didn’t hurt me or each other. When they’re chasing too roughly it’s usually enough when I stand up or calmly say: whoa, calm now…

They groomed each other as usual yesterday evening: through the bars…[Read more]

I’m glad to hear he’s being somewhat active now! A flop is wonderful! And it’s great that you could give him meloxicam and some water. Massage is great too 👍

It pretty much impossible to think when you have a poorly bun. When my bun Vilde fell acutely ill I had to email the vet  after just a cpl of hours because Id completely forgot what they’d…[Read more]

Thanks so much for that info and for explaining it again! Now re-reading your post before I see you did actually mention it there but in the stress of looking after a sick bun it can be hard to think straight at times lol.

So I went for the older dog meloxicam, it says it stays good 6 months after opening which its still within… I had a vet…[Read more]

We just had a fight, about 5 minutes after we started 😢

Molly started off boldly, but Owen didn’t acknowledge and just ran away. I was taking a video of the chasing because I wanted to ask about it, and suddenly: bunny tornado! 😱

I could break them up very easily, but Owen has lost quite a bit of fur… Apart from Owen’s ego nobunny seems to be…[Read more]

Oxbow Critical Care is a powder that you mix with watet yourself. Once mixed it should be refrigerated unless you serve it “to order”, and mixed CC should be used within a day.

Oxbow themselves recommend you store the dry powder CC in the fridge. This will extend the shelf life considerably beyond the expiration date. This is great  we bun…[Read more]

You can use the calculator “backwards”, but anyway, if Glenn is 1.9 kg and the strenght of meloxicom is 2.0 mg/ml, he got a little less than 0.3 mg/kilo at the vet if they gave him 0.25 ml. This is a very conservative dose, even on the lower side of a conservative dose. A bun can have up to 1.5 mg/kilo body weight per 24 hours.

The math isnt…[Read more]

This is the freshest metacam I have that was prescribed to Nellie for dental surgery recover. These are the details on the box. Nellie weights 2.1kg
