Ahhhh you rescued her from an Easter Bunny situation? Thank you so much!

That’s wonderful news! I’m sure Spud is taking great care of him. <3

He’s pooping more! They are still really tiny but poops! And they do suspect dental issues now (they didn’t before) as he’s drooling a bit. So his mouth is going to be checked more thoroughly in the morning. He was also a lot perkier when I went to visit him after work. He’s not ready to come home but I don’t feel so hopeless now. It seems Spud…[Read more]

His vet is amazing. I am so thankful that she started working in my town. She called me before leaving this evening and told me he was making progress. He isn’t quite out of it but said that since bringing Spud it was like a whole new bunny. When I went to visit after work he looked so much better. They are going to check his teeth more thoroughly…[Read more]

Rehoming means giving them up permanently, either by finding someone to take them on your own, or surrendering them to a shelter or rescue. Usually when you surrender an animal at the humane society there is a small fee, with rescues it varies. When rehoming on your own, it’s recommended to actually charge a fee to make sure the rabbits don’t end…[Read more]

Some pooping is better than no pooping! Stasis recovery can be horribly slow, so hopefully he keeps improving from here!

Coop literally just did the full 360 roll over flop! 😆

I was going to say I use the big “by weight syringe” to draw from the bottle, then the small one mL to draw from that, but you came to the same conclusion!

Thanks everyone! It helps to have a plan, especially since 1/2 hour is still a ways away.

So sorry @Sonn. I hope Tater makes big improvements soon, I am sure having Spud with him is helping him a bunch. It sounds like he is in good hands at the vet too. Please keep us uptodate!

Ah another sunbeam chaser! 😆

Yes, something like that. I’ll admit the first thought I had when I opened the antibiotics was that it smelled exactly like my tonsillitis medication when I was a kid. Flashbacks.

I rang the vet clinic and asked about dosage, unfortunately the person on the phone was unhelpful and just said to get a 1ml syringe from a vet clinic. That would be…[Read more]

This is most likely a URI. You should take your bunny to a vet so you can get some antibiotics to treat it. Don’t assume it is allergies. Rabbits can technically have allergies, but it isn’t a common thing. Much more common is a URI. Your bunny is 8, his immune system may have weakened at some point. Perhaps during a bit of stress. This allows…[Read more]

Weird! So it’s like tonsillitis or something? I agree, that would explain the pain reaction when swallowing.

Yes, oaten hay is perfectly fine to give in large amounts if you want, it’s the primary hay I feed since it’s usually the best quality and most readily available here in Australia.

Fresh grass can actually be a good substitute for hay if she is being picky. I mean it’s basically the same thing just not dried yet. For this reason a handful of…[Read more]

The treatment involves me wrestling with Apollo while trying to lift up his cheek so that my husband can insert the syringe to give him his medications, lol. In all seriousness though, first doses last night did not go well. He gets so stressed by handling that’s anything more than picking him up and putting him down. Even in the bunny burrito he…[Read more]
