Yeah I was more worried yesturday but today I feel much better..thank you though

Yaay for poop! The poopies look good, a little bit dry and and of varying size and shape, which indicates a slight gut slowdown. It could very well be that the trip to the vet and the exam with the vet feeling his tummy set things in motion. And in any case, it always feels a huge lot better if you can have your bun seen, although in the case of…[Read more]

That’s great he pooped!

Since he pooped, he’s nibbling a bit on his own, and the vet didn’t detect a blockage I would syringe feed if he isn’t eating normally. You can just keep offering the things he is nibbling on. A little critical care shouldn’t hurt though. I often start with a really small amount to see if it perks them up at all (like just…[Read more]

Thanks for the replies!

I took him to the ER to be on the safe side as ever since loosing Bella because we treated at home thinking her symptoms were not too bad, I have super paranoid about not ruling out critical issues.

The vet was OK but I could tell he wasn’t too familiar with rabbits. Never the less he seems to think there is no GI block…[Read more]

I’m sorry to hear that! Poor little guy 😞

Whatever you end up trying just make sure it’s introduced in small amounts and safe for rabbit consumption (fact check with at least 2 or 3 valid sources). Some websites will say one thing is safe for rabbits while another say it’s not. Generally if somebody says it isn’t then it’s like that for a reason.…[Read more]

Most vets (even the really good ones) don’t know much about bonding, it’s surprisingly common!

When one bun is scared of the other one, it is important to take the bonding process slowly. Sometimes doing marathon-style sessions too early can cause the fearful bun to “shut down” and trick you into thinking they are bonded, which can lead to a bond…[Read more]

FYI I’ve always given metacam without famotidine, it’s pretty rare to be prescribed with something else in the USA. Not saying it’s great to do so, but the benefit for short term usage can outweigh a long term effect of being harder on the stomach.

I would give a big pile of wet greens that he’s eating. Dehydration can be a huge factor in in gut…[Read more]

If you’re only hearing it really close up then it’s probably not something to worry about. Some quiet gurgles are normal when digesting.

Hello! Thank you for replying!

My little guy develops GI stasis at the drop of a hat and the vet has concluded after many visits that its tied to directly to stressful events, and so we were trying to find something that would take the edge off. Especially since he has Big Snip is coming up. We had to cancel his last one because of GI stasis…[Read more]

It’s only when I get right up close to him and I have to really listen to hear it, since posting this he seems much better though moving more and and not as lazy, also he’s still pooping really good, I gave him some veggies I’ve never given him before so I think it was just a bad reaction for his tummy

Her fur is very soft yes

Thanks for the quick reply!

Hes just had his second dose of smithecone. He’s notoriously difficult to medicate and even pick up despite our close relationship so its a bit of a run around to catch him so he has had a little run around and moves a bit. He also claws fidgets and swings his head back and forth when I trt and give him smithecone,…[Read more]

Ahh that’s interesting, we did not know this! We go to a fantastic rabbit specialist vets but the one who checked Frida over that time just said to give wound time to heal before trying again so maybe he isnt super knowledgeable about bonding.

As I am writing this now I was just about to say that is exactly how I feel she has stopped challenging…[Read more]

Since he is eating some things, I’d start by giving a couple of doses of simethicone 30-40 minutes apart and encourage moving around. I never give meloxicam without famotidine because NSAIDs are hard on the tummy. I dont think having been opened 2 months ago would make it too old though.

A gut stimulant should be avoided unless you’re certain…[Read more]

Oh, hello Judy! 😍 😍😍

I love black lops. My bun Bam was a black loo.

Oh…my…goodness… She is so cute! 😍

I have such a soft spot for dwarfs and black coat colours. Her fur looks so luxurious and soft!

Here’s a pic of my old set-up for reference. Footprint was 2 x 3  of 14″ NIC cube grids. I do wish it could have been longer but it was the biggest I could fit in my studio apartment! And they had free roam for at least half the day usually.
