How are you handling her when administering the meds? I found it so much easier and less stressful to “sit” on them. I would sit on my knees and tuck them between my legs. Perhaps my buns just preferred having all 4 feet on the floor, but there was way less struggling compared to trying…

It wasnt your fault and I think she was in such a bad way that the fluids wouldnt have made a difference at that point in time. But it was the right call, feeding her more CC is counter-indicated when there’s a blockage. I think they clinic ought to have given her pain meds/a prescription…

I lost my baby girl Mischa this past Sunday evening and I can’t stop thinking about the “what if’s”. Saturday morning I found Mischa lethargic on the couch, when she would normally be active and follow me into the kitchen to watch me wash her and her sister’s morning salad. She has had a few…

Hi all! I was wondering if anyone has any advice for navigating all the additional care needs that come with caring for a senior, including having to help them more with additional grooming and cleaning, medications and handling. Specifically helping to reduce handling stress for a bunny that can’t stand handling but now needs extra…

I agree with LBJ. Mushrooms in garden beds tends to mean the soil is good and healthy. Obv make sure no broken off parts of the mushrooms get served to the buns. Most mushrooms aren’t super toxic, but a cpl years ago I had a gyromitra false morel growing in one of my pallet collar…
-
Mushrooms can’t really contaminate vegetables beyond perhaps some spores on the surface. I personally wouldn’t be concerned, especially if the veggies are washed well.
-
Hello! So every spring/summer, I grow my own veggies and herbs for my rabbit. This year I got a new type of soil to grow them in (I use containers rather than a garden) and the soil now has little mushrooms growing in it with her vegetables. Do we think it’s still safe to feed…

It sounds like getting her to the vet was the right choice! Hoping she gets better quickly 🙂
-
I’m glad you at least got a better idea of what it going on with her. It sounds like multiple issues that have just started to snowball.

Charlie has 3 different things going on. She has a left ear infection. She showed no sign of this at home as far as digging or shaking her head. She has a tall point on a tooth also on the left side. She has some GI Stasis. There was a hard lump in stomach, but…

Good point Wick! I had a bunny that was prone to little bouts of gas. He would usually snap out of it pretty quickly though, sometimes without simethicone or anything.
-
LBJ offers good insight. I’ll also add that Timothy Hay is just not very appealing for a lot of rabbits. Orchard hay has been more popular in my experience. Also, I do want to say, please be mindful of medicating rabbits as a preventative or as a reaction to perceived stasis. Stasis is a symptom;…

I had some “bad” hay. Bought a different brand and it was essentially the same. It was as if they both came from the same field… which I guess could be possible. I was beginning to worry because my bunny was refusing all of it. I kept having to pick through the “bad” stuff and…
-
Charlie is almost 6 years old. She does get occasional bouts of stasis and I have medication from her vet to use whenever she seems to be starting. The problem right now is she refuses to eat Timothy hay. This started a couple weeks ago with a slow down in consumption. It was a bag…

Hi BunnyLass! I immediately had to go to your Instagram and check out Oscar! He’s adorable 🥰 Pets shouldn’t be a surprise, but that said, sometimes it works out wonderfully. My first bunny Bam was certainly a surprise, when my dog found him abandonned in the woods. Until then I had no idea I needed…

Indeed pets shouldn’t be a surprise but…. My Wick was a surprise and he continues to lead my life in wonderful ways! Congratulations on your new family addition– sounds like a very energetic furry ball of personality based on the breeds and age, haha.

Glad to hear he’s acting normal otherwise.

<p style=”padding-left: 40px;”>Thank you so much LBJ10! He’s acting completely normal outside of the lounging around more. We’re getting flops, and he’s laying around stretched out like the royalty he is. I feel better now, thank you for the reply :)</p>

If he wasn’t injured, then less activity could just be a coincidence. You said he’s shedding, which can make bunnies mopey sometimes.
