I’m also confused about the antifungal and antibiotic, perhaps they are trying to correct for an imbalance caused by the initial treatment? But if the antibiotic is for pneumonia that is important.
I agree with getting a completely independent second opinion from a rabbit savvy vet.

Hmmmm, loss of litter box habits can be related to not feeling well, so maybe he’s still having some GI discomfort along with the soft poops. Are his poops always soft? Do you notice normal poops mixed in, or all they are mushy? Is he eating plenty of hay?

Grant started the topic Hind Leg Issue Related to Death? (Pease read) in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 4 years, 8 months ago
Our dwarf hotot just passed. Not sure of her age, but we had her for 5 years.
2 weeks ago she started favoring her right hind leg. The leg wasn’t limp and it seemed like she still had full use of it when she needed. She would occasionally thump with that foot and remained mobile. It seemed like her leg was gradually improving. She was also…[Read more]

Thank you for your kind words, Milo was my baby for sure. Writing in detail was with some difficulty but I think was also of some therapy for me, his passing came as a massive shock, I wasn’t sure what to hope for or expect I just tried to stay optimistic everyday and just hope. I have attached some images of Milo that are some of my favorites.…[Read more]

Cinnamon Bun replied to the topic Help needed: bunny recovering from GI stasis in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 4 years, 8 months ago
Yeah, this is confusing. The only medication my vet gave my bun when she had GI stasis was for her liver, because it was enlarged. She put her on IV fluids and gave her simethicone for gas and painkillers. That’s all. I don’t know why the vet is giving all these antibiotics – but again, I’m no expert. Sometimes a vet can be an exotic but not…[Read more]

Thank you both for your responses. I checked out the link you gave Wick & Fable. The dosage I was given was around what I think it’s supposed to be. He was given 30mg and he weighs 1.74kg. I read it was around 18mg/kg?
And LBJ10, thanks. I will give it a week or two and see how it goes 🙂

It could be good idea to get a second opinion.
I dont know any vet that treats stasis with antibiotics, unless they believe that the cause of the stasis is a bacterial infection.

Hey Bam, thanks for reply. I am waiting for another second vet appointment.
So my vet consulted a specialist 2 weeks ago. Based on that assessment without seeing my bunny they told me to start antifungal as there is small growth of cyniclomyces(which is a normal gut bacteria in rabbit). My bunny started to have more watery stool after starting…[Read more]

If pneumonia is suspected, you must treat that first of all. That can’t wait. Pneumonia is very serious in rabbits.

Wick & Fable replied to the topic Carpet hole/digging in the forum BEHAVIOR 4 years, 8 months ago
I recommend blocking it off and putting something in it’s place around/attached to the barricade to let out that energy.
My Fable is a big chewer and effective at it, so I’ve done a lot of cheap toys for diggers and chewers. You can find them on my Reddit profile “Posts” here: https://www.reddit.com/u/WickandFable
I recommend the fleece digging…[Read more]

I’m back again, lol. My cinnimon had a digging problem when she was a baby but stopped around 1 year. Now she has decided to bring it back. Every time I have her out she goes to dig, always in the same spot. I have tried to block off the spot but she has gotten though it every time. When I get her out of the closet ( where the place she digs is )…[Read more]

LOL yes! My buns and cat all had their own stockings this last year, and in May I felt obligated to buy them a gift, because it was our 1st buniversary… Well, that was only six dollars! And then I bought them a 4th of July gift… two 4th of July gifts…

What is your rabbits diet like. You also might need to move the hay in to a larger litter box to re-train. Since most rabbit eat and poop almost at the same time.

Not using litterbox: a month ago my bunny had GI stasis, now he is having persistent mushy poop. Since his stasis recovery, he is using his litterbox on and off for pee. Does anyone have the same experience with mushy poop bun peeing outside the litterbox? Now he is using a specific area to pee close to his litterbox but not using the litterbox…[Read more]
