That’s great news!

Thanks for the advice. I usually store in water because I found it stays fresh longer. I did an experiment with different forms of storing and found this works best for us. She usually goes through her greens pretty quickly since I don’t buy the lettuce and spring mix in huge amounts. It’s usually the parsley, boo Chou, radicchio, cilantro and car…[Read more]

My buns dont really do this, but my cat usually runs around like crazy after using the litter box…. we call them them the “poop zoomies” LOL

Usually it works well to store greens dry, not in water, unless it’s just the stems in water, like flowers? Things may be going slimy faster in water. The way I learned to keep things really fresh was when you get everything home from the store, dunk everything in a sink full of water with a cup of vinegar mixed in, then dunk again in fresh water,…[Read more]

Both my bunnies do this, super funny. What’s not super funny is bedding always flicks out when they do it, but bunnies will be bunnies.

That’s really sad that they did that. Maybe find a person trying to give away their bunny?

You actually said the same thing the vet from today said! This one seems very knowledgeable and has experience treating rabbits with stasis. I asked about bene-bac and they said that it shouldn’t harm her but they’re not sure if it’ll help much. They also said to keep feeding her hay and make sure I have simethicone at home. I was actually told…[Read more]

Sounds like a good plan, her teeth could be involved somehow.

My bun Bama does the same thing! 😂 so cute and funny! Nice to know my bun isn’t the only drama queen around. 😊

Update: The vet said everything looked great, so we’re going to test for internal parasites and maybe do an x-ray as well.

That’s wonderful news!

Thanks for the background! I remember this now from another thread, but couldn’t remember all the details. I do think it might be worth trying some Benebac (you can check with your vet though to make sure it’s OK). When I’ve used the gel that comes in the tube, I’ve given my adult bun about a 1/2 inch long strip, so you could give a small amount…[Read more]

I have not tried any probiotic yet. I will ask my vet today for that. Thanks. That helpful. 🙂

I just wanted to know if bunny has a cecal dysbiosis due to antibiotic, is it normal if he wants to chew many things. I am not letting him to do that right now. Any idea how long should I wait before I see any normal poop?

Sorry! I might be making some things more confusing than they have to be. It’s a bit hard to include all the information because its been so long and so much has happened.

She was never fed pellets. When we got her she was being fed barley and I planned on switching her onto good quality alfalfa pellets never had the chance. She was barely eating…[Read more]

I just want to add that I have used metronidazole twice for a bun that was suspected to have anaerobic bacteria in his gut. There was about 18 months between the two occasions. The prescribing vet is a bunny savvy exotics vet. The problem my bun had was very slimy, mucousy poop, not just soft stools.

There are probiotics that can help the bunny…[Read more]
