Is it general anesthesia? Or just a twilight sedation? Either way, the risk is low, especially with a rabbit savvy vet.

His tooth alignment does look better, but I would advise getting the CT scan just to make sure things are able to go back together. He also still needs pain meds. It’s only been 5 days.

Can you give him extra pellets? Its not ideal but will be OK temporarily, important thing is to keep him eating regularly so he doesn’t go into stasis.

Usually the sedation for scans is pretty light, so I wouldn’t worry too much about that.

One thing you could ask the vet is, “how would the treatment change depending on the results of the CT scan?”.

Sometimes the treatment may change, and in those cases I think the CT scan is important to do. Looking at your previous post, you said the scan…[Read more]

Vet finally called and said we could do the scan tomorrow morning. My dad doesn’t want to do it because our bunny has improved and he’s afraid he’ll die if he’s sedated for the scan. I feel it will be good to do the scan to see possible damage and how it will heal in the future but am afraid of sedation too especially because of how my dad’s against it…

Our bunny got through the weekend well and continued eating from apples,  crushed pellets, and a few strands of hay. (He has never really liked veggies for some reason only ever eaten them as a last resort after regular pellets and hay).

He ended up hating syringe feeding from the apple-banana critical care the doctor gave us so we switched to a…[Read more]

Unfortunately your pictures are not appearing, but your description is detailed enough at this point.

Hay eating is the number one thing that maintains a rabbit’s teeth. In most cases, increasing hay consumption will help teeth maintenance and deter the need for veterinary intervention (i.e., routine filings). That being said, there are cases of…[Read more]

Hey, You already got wonderful advice above. You can read about intermittent cecal dysbiosis from here – https://rabbit.org/intermittent-soft-cecotropes-in-rabbits/

Good that your bunny is eating hay. I think you can take away all of his treats for now. Treats are never a good idea. Bunnies are ok with hay only diet. Now you can give him a good…[Read more]

Oh, and the amount of time to wait after spay is a bit debated. It takes two weeks just to heal. Some buns seem to need longer for hormones to settle, I think the maximum time I’ve seen recommended is 6 weeks. The rescue I volunteered at usually waited 3 weeks and that seemed to work well (they even thought that having just a tiny bit or hormones…[Read more]

Sounds like a good plan! I agree it might benefit Molly (and your bond with her) to have a bit more solo time for her to grow into her confidence. 🙂

Dang, frustrating! Hopefully with some pee-pads you can sort out a situation that’s more manageable. I know there are lots of water proof couch blankets out there now, mostly designed for folks with dogs or older cats, that might help the situation with the couch.

It sounds like he is on the mend! I agree it doesn’t hurt to try Benebac. And glad he likes the orchard hay!

1/4 cup of pellets is on the high end, depending on how much your bun weighs. Most buns do love pellets so much, but they are very high energy, so if they fill up on pellets they will eat less hay. You could cut back to 2 tablespoons and…[Read more]

Thank you so much! ^_^ It was a good idea to ask it here, people here sometimes have more experience than a vet in these things. The vet who neutered Owen told us to wait 6 weeks, but she sounded rather hesitant, so I had my doubts.

I just called our own vet and they said that Molly can be spayed in March. We weighed her, and she turned out to be…[Read more]
