thank you i’ll try that! she’s 1 year old and almost 4 pounds.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Ok, thank you! I’m going to go ahead and give him one more dose just to make absolutely sure i’m not missing anything. He bounced back far faster than I thought he would.</p>

Yes, I been doing that. Thank you so much!

How old is your bun? And how much does she weigh?

I think you could prob start with half a leaf for a few days, then increase to a full leaf if she’s doing well with it (unless she’s very small). Wait a full week before adding any additional new foods.

If he was prescribed it, then it would be safe to give him the regular dosage, even if you aren’t sure he’s still in pain. Rabbits do hide their pain well, so if you suspect he has any lingering symptoms it’s OK to give him some.

I looked at the paper they gave us and it said general anesthesia.

We’ve decided we will take him in and just hope he gets through it fine. At the very least he needs the pain meds for longer though he was a champ today. Eating like normal and bounding around.

I’m very happy to hear that! Thank you for the update!

Amazing news!!! Yaaaay Luna!

I’m so happy to hear she’s responding well and that you got a second opinion! I agree that dose sounds fine for  a “maintenance” dose.

If you’re going to look into alternative therapies, you might also look into chiropractic, there are some animal chiro’s that have worked with rabbits.

You might also try supplementing her with Myristol. It’s a…[Read more]

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]
