I don’t think megacolon should be suspected just yet, so dont give up. Try to syringe feed him pellet mush, it could help. If he likes greens, you can give him that, you can even offer small pieces of fruit – not too much, just a little bit to help him perk up so he hopefully starts to take an interest in food again.

Hay is the best and most…[Read more]

So after my last enema around 2 pm he got a lot of mucuous out but 4pm he eat lesser even on his pellets. Enema is putting water through his digestive end which has save him 3 times. Specially on June 23 sorry i thought pellet is there only food since that’s what breeders do in Philipines. Im starting to give up since I’m thinking it’s cause by…[Read more]

Great idea, Ellie!

Makes me remember a less successful attempt I made when my dog was a pup and I wanted to stop her from chewing furniture. I read that vinegar will deter dogs from chewing, so I put vinegar on the legs of my wooden chairs. Only I didn’t have any plain vinegar so I used balsamico vinegar – which of course is sweet and far less…[Read more]

Since there is poop you can try syringe feeding pellet mush. That’s pellets soaked in water until they become a mush. There are no safe OTC painkillers for a bun who has an irritated gut, it could make matters much worse. Also make sure he keeps warm. It’s very dangerous if he becomes cold. If he likes sitting in your lap, your body heat will warm…[Read more]

Oh no! I’m sorry for your loss. You did everything you could. Unfortunately, emergency vet clinics do not always have people on staff that know bunnies.

oh so does that mean I should change their bonding place? normally, for the daytime session,I bonded them in my mother’s office instead of my room because both of them have never been there but for the overnight session…I held it in my room,so the problem here is probably the area in room,,,okay thank you! I thought it wasn’t normal to have them…[Read more]

Mucus means there is irritation/inflammation in the intestines. There is clearly some kind of GI upset going on. The large poops would indicate this as well. When things slow down, the poop builds up and gets smooshed together.

Sorry for the late update:

unfortunately the vets were less then helpful and she passed away. I am incredibly ticked off with the clinic and especially the vet tech. She stayed overnight and the next morning I had not received any phone calls as an update, so I called myself and they told me she wasn’t doing well. when I drove over, I asked to s…[Read more]

Sorry for the late reply. I hadn’t been checking the forum. I appreciate the kind words. Things have gotten easier as it has been over two months since Monty left us. We have been busy with work but also with taking extra care of Sylvester. He’s not been grooming his underside so we’ve been giving him weekly bum baths and removing mats. He really…[Read more]

With my first rabbit Bandit, a dwarf hotot, he was very tolerant of being picked up and held. I think it had to do with his personality more than anything. I would not say he enjoyed it but he never struggled. We actually used to bring him to nursing homes with our local bunny club and he was one of the few bunnies that seemed to understand the…[Read more]

since posting this she has pooped and ate a lot more. i watched her go poop and then she actually started digging around and covering it up, so i moved her litter around and i found a lot more poop, im not sure why shes covering it up haha but she seems fine now 🙂

Pine pellet or paper pellet litter work well absorption-wise, but pine pellet litter is definitely better at controlling odors.

I don’t think an enema would be beneficial. I would advise against it. What you’re describing sounds like a gas problem. Simethicone can help if the gas isn’t too serious. Tummy massages can help too. One other thing to try is to lift his butt so it’s higher than his front end. Gas bubbles rise, so sometimes this will help the gas bubbles work…[Read more]

But her energy levels are normal? I agree with Dana that this is a bit unusual. Most rabbits will still poop in a situation like this… just maybe no in the offending litter box. Then again, you would be surprised how long they can hold it until they can make it to their box. Although you would think sooner or later they would just give in and poop. Hmm.
