That’s true! It’s a challenge and requires daily monitoring. I feel somewhat relieved, in a way, knowing that her not-so-low weight is actually a reflection of the megacolon and not some unknown or untreated illness hahaha. The good thing is that she’s not a picky eater and will eat hay like a horse XD
-
I don’t have a megacolon bunny. But I do know that it can be hard to keep weight on these bunnies or get them to gain weight. The problem is a lot of the typical things people do to encourage weight gain in, say, elderly bunnies does not work for megacolon bunnies because it can…

Hi! Is there anyone else here with a rabbit that has megacolon? My princess was diagnosed with megacolon last year, and since then she’s gone through several treatments until things stabilized, including preventive treatments like taking domperidone every day. What I find strange is that, since the diagnosis, it seems like she doesn’t gain weight…

I’m so very sorry, RetroSquid. It’s a horrible decision to have to make, but there was no good option. Hopper is probably “just” reacting. It’s good that she’s binkying even if, as LBJ says, it’s not always a sign of happiness. Physical “exercise” relieves stress. She’s dealing in her own rabbit way. It can take…

You’ve really have a rough time with things the last year(?) or so. It never gets easier losing a bunny. Non-bunny people don’t understand the bond you can form with them. We were talking about this is another thread. I remember you had originally wanted a trio. Did that every happen? Could Hopper go back…
-
Yeah, no matter when it happened, there wasn’t really anything we could do. An experimental procedure that, so far, had a 100% failure rate wasn’t really an option. Honestly, I think I’m still in shock. He was such a friendly, gentle, loving wee boy and… Now he’s just gone… Hopper, his companion, has…

RetroSquid – I’m so sorry, I don’t know how this one slipped through the cracks. I didn’t see it until now. 🙁 We have been having issues with uploading media in general lately. There seems to be something wrong with the site. I’m very sorry to hear about Biscuits. It seems these things always happen…
-
I only ever seem to make it back here when things are the absolute worst. I tried uploading pictures but the site isn’t playing well with my phone. I uploaded some in the lounge, I think, when Biscuits came to us 6 months ago. After a rough morning of presumed GI Stasis, doing all the…

Wow, I’m glad you got some answers! Poor Nellie, I’m sure the injury has just finally caught up with her. :/
-
Thanks for your reply! So incase anyone is wondering my exotics told me they are fine to give together but work better when spread out. Also things with Nellie have changed quite significantly since this post! She finally got a referral to a full exotics specialist hospital and the doctor was amazing! She had yet…

Update: So I tried ordering Small Pet Select and it never came. Out of desperation, I picked up a bag of Oxbow at the store. This one didn’t have alfalfa in it! But… someone decided he didn’t like it. Of course… Out of desperation again, I ordered a box of Rabbit Hole. And no alfalfa…

Does your bunny ever flop? Sometimes lazy bunnies (or less active buns) prefer the flop to show happiness versus a binky since it seems to take less effort haha! One of our buns (who we suspect may be older in age, he was adopted from a rough background so his age is unknown) never really…
-
Yes, I would like to know as well. Some bunnies are just… lazy. I had a bunny that never binkied or did zoomies. Never. He slept a lot. My current bunny runs around like a maniac all the time.
-
In what ways does he act generally unhealthy? How is his weight, appetite, fur quality (a poorly bun often looks dishevelled, the fur has no sheen to it) pooping and peeing habits? Has anything in his appearance or behavior changed? Not all buns do much. Some are quite content just existing in the same room…

I adopted a Rex rabbit several years back, which is the third rabbit I’ve ever adopted. I believe he was about six months old when I adopted him, which makes him just about four years old now. He has a large living area, plenty of food (hay, pellets, and greens), a soft bed, a clean…
-
It isn’t unheard of to give them together. They each work in a different part of the gut, so the theory is they are safe to give together. I don’t know about actual dosage though.
-
Hey Is it common practice to dose a bun recovering from gas with metacloprimide and cisapride + Loxicom in one medication sitting? Nellie has had a bad bout of gas the last week that we were initially successfully treating with cisapride and Loxicom (already perscribed for arthritis) When I was tapering her off after 3…

Thank you for your input! Yes, I think buns are often misunderstood and the bond shared between them and their human. I also agree that some people tend to like to “one up” others, whether that be in grief or other areas of life.
-
I had a cat that lived 19 years, I do think the time made an impact. But mostly because the memories and bond you form in that time. Her death was also very traumatic and that didn’t help. Not anything to do with the species. I absolutely love my two buns and would also be…
