I am sure Tater and Spud love it!

I watched a couple of their videos and I could see them in Eurovision! 🤣 I can’t say they’ll become my guilty pleasure, but I respect the camp. I am half German though, as in my father us German & I lived there when I was younger. Unfortunately my German has gotten out of practice, though I can understand okay, just forgot words.

From what you’ve described it sounds more like he was scared suddenly. I have read that rabbits can dart around in alarm when choking, but usually there are other symptoms such as  drooling, raising their nose up to try and help them breathe, pawing at the mouth.

A change in dietary habits can always be cause for concern. Pellets are the hardest food a rabbit eats so my first thought when there are issues there is a possible dental issue at play. Recently my rabbit Apollo started having trouble eating his pellets and while it wasn’t dental, he had growths on his larynx, the pellets were the only food he…[Read more]

Yes, we’re so lucky to have good bunny vets in our area! 🙂

That’s good to know about Effi.  It used to be that way with Teddy but today it seems like a bit of a vicious cycle where his leg doesn’t “wake up” immediately so he has trouble standing, so then he spends a long time lying down on his weak hip, and then it’s asleep more.  And the s…[Read more]

Does he have any new roommates that are making him territorial, perhaps causing the peeing? In my experience, neutered males are less likely to engage in territorial peeing than spayed females, but our current male, “B,” is very much a territorial pee/pooper, more than any male we’ve ever had!

Hmm… that looks like bedstraw, bu the flowers seem too big to be bedstraw.

Maybe? Here’s a link to them that I just put on deviantart, https://www.deviantart.com/inuysha-link-lover/art/Flowers-915993965

Oh , ‘m glad he gets famotidine! It seems many vets (still) are not aware that longterm meloxicam are likely to cause stomach ulceration.

It is precisely like when a limb falls asleep! We re-aligned our dog (Effi) ‘s spine multiple times per day by gemtly lifting her hind end up with one arm under her belly, right where it joins the fleshy part…[Read more]

Oh that totally seems like what it is!  I did notice today (while giving him a backrub) that his backbone seemed much further to the right, toward his weak hip, than normal. I didn’t know if his leg/hip or his backbone itself originated that.  But it does seem very plausible that his nerve could be pinched, especially the more he lays down on t…[Read more]

Ah, okay, so it may still go any way…

Oh well, as long as Owen doesn’t bully or overshadow her it’s fine. Something like that probably happened in the nest, because she was so skittish and submissive.

She’s come so far, and whatever happens, I hope that she won’t get so subdued again.

She’s becoming a really sociable bunny: always looking up…[Read more]

Drug dosage as a rule has a wide individual span for most drugs. Some drugs, like acetaminophen, have a narrow therapeutic window, meaning it doesnt necessarily take much to reach a toxic level.

My Vilde was on 3.75 mg meloxicam per day, divided in 2, 12 hours apart. He got daily ranitine to protect his stomach lining. Nowadays famotidine…[Read more]

p.s. Thank you so much, DanaNM!  That’s very helpful.  Much appreciated!

Thank you so much, Bam!  This is helpful to know, especially with Vilde being Teddy’s doppleganger. 🙂  These days Teddy is actually getting 3mg of meloxicam every 12 hours (I wasn’t exaggerating when I said it was a lot!).  He’s only 3 lbs, so that would be about 2.2 mg/kg, twice a day?  This is what he’s seemed to need according to trial and err…[Read more]
