Thank you so much for both of your help.

I do plan on bringing Sage to the vet in about a month time. Her condition has been prolonged but she has always remained alert and stable. Her symptoms often subside then act back up. I recently begun working at a new vet hospital which examines rabbits but I must wait the allotted time until my own pet…[Read more]

Whoo, they are not thanking us for switching hutches… Time to bring up our family motto: “There’s nobody who’s more autistic than a bunny…”

Molly is anxious and Owen is just angry that he has less space to run around in. He dragged the fence across the floor and tipped over his water bowl in the process.

I was afraid that he was going to…[Read more]

Hi Courtney, Welcome! I am pretty new to owning buns, so mine are only a few years old. I know with elderly cats grooming is painful, so sure with buns it might be similar. Do you have anything to help with pain? I don’t know if gaberpetin (possibly misspelt) is okay for buns to use, but some bunny safe mild pain meds might help. I would ask this…[Read more]

I am so very sorry, it is a horrible decision to make . But the fact it is hard for you tells me any choice you make even if not perfect (because they never are, all we can do is try to make the best) is coming from the right place. If you are not ready right this minute that totally makes sense to me. Maybe talk to your vet and see if they can…[Read more]

I walked through the graveyard and looked at the older stones for name inspiration. For me a name has to fit the bunny and I have a hard time thinking of any with out seeing the bunny. That said I think of bunnies being tied to the moon… so here are a couple in that line

Luna

Selene

Artemis

Chandra

Tsukuyomi (or Tsuki)

oh and Tu’er Ye is a…[Read more]

How long have they been bonded? Sometimes it takes a few weeks for litter box habits to return after bonding, and some people even notice an uptick in marking right after they are bonded. Marking around the perimeter of the enclosure does sound territorial.

Aside from that, you might need to go back to box-training basics. There are some tips…[Read more]

Thank you all for your responses.

As far as her pain level goes, I assume with her tooth abscess it is pretty uncomfortable to eat (hence why she no longer eats hard goods, and her hay intake is very minimal). Also, her tooth as started to shift in her mouth, so sometimes it sounds like she’s chewing on it, and I can see her move her jaw and kind…[Read more]

Im definitely keeping a close eye on this little bugger, but he does seem to be nibbling more and now he’s flopping and I even got some binkys! The mild pain in one side worries me a little so I’m thinking about doing x rays a little later regardless just to make sure its nothing scary.

P.S. She is so adorable – love that photo.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this, and it’s clear she’s had a wonderful life. My only contribution is to try to imagine it from her perspective, rather than your own fears and sense of loss. Is she in intolerable/tolerable pain? Does her tooth situation make every bite hurt? Does she seem to be in unrelieved pain when not eating, or when…[Read more]

Found this webinar from Medgene on their vaccine, lots of good information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecEUqvKDb0g

A tablespoon sounds in line with what I’ve seen them give at the shelter. Maybe increase it gradually to make sure she doesn’t get soft poops?

I’m glad you took him in, it sounds like he’s improved a bit. I would keep the vet posted on his symptoms though, they may want you to bring him back in for further treatment or the xrays. There are other ailments that can present like stasis (such as liver torsion).

I’m not familiar with Mirataz. Im glad she’s nibbling hay!

Sometimes a relatively long course of motility meds is needed to get a bun’s gut fully back “online”. I wouldn’t worry about cisapride dependency yet, but when you do stop you can taper off gradually. As I said before, some buns with chronic issues or megacolon end up getting cisapride…[Read more]
