After reading through this thread, I was going to ask if the medication was flavored. Most medications are not manufactured for rabbits, so it isn’t unusual for them to come flavored to entice dogs. Hopefully getting a sweet version will help. I’m sorry to hear your other bunny is unwell. This isn’t something you want…

I’m glad to hear she is doing better with the meds. I know it can be hard to find the right combination of things.
-
I’m glad you’re working so closely with the vet It seems very likely that it’s the meat flavor that’s making her refuse the med. Some buns even panic if they sense the owner cooking meat in the kitchen. From what I can find Vetmedin helps the heart beat stronger and also dilates the blood vessels…

Thank you for your feedback. Possibly and sadly bunny’s hide things very well and the signs may be difficult to read. For my part, I did go for my first check up with her and only because I was worried she would have to suffer the same destiny like Adi. Before I only went to…

I don’t have personal ecperience with this. It seems likely that (congenital) heart conditions are under-disgnosed in rabbits -many rabbits die very suddenly without seeming go have been ill, and the owner never gets to know the cause. An enlarged heart doesn’t happen suddenly, and it’s only been a short time since your Adi passed.l,…

Unfortunately, she does not take the medicine. I’ve tried everything. Hidden in banana, on dill, on her fav. pellet on floor, on table. She refuses to take it on her own and she panics when the techniques for administering meds are done like in videos on YT such as keeping their body between the legs…

I’m very sorry to hear about the sudden news, but you now have the knowledge and that is most important. To start, from my years of rabbit advocacy and care experience, I recommend NOT concerning yourself much at all with how this came about, whether it’s grief, congenital, etc. It doesn’t change the reality and…

Congratulations!! Bonding 6 adult rabbits is definitely a feat. Though you bring up a very understandable challenge with the litterbox Tetris situation, haha. Best of luck! You got over the hardest part though.

I like alllll of these ideas! I’m thinking it should be more like a binder then a notebook easy access to specific pages or adding more to it

Hello, I adopted my bunny girl about 2 years ago and never saw anything wrong with her. She’s 5 years old and was always a happy bun. However, her partner had kidney issues and E. C. (for which she was treated at the time as well with Panacur), so I went for a checkup, and…
-
Sorry just seen these replies! Thank you for all the advice. The routine has been going well! We are committed to following through as she very much needs her medication, she’s been quite up and down lately unfortunately. She is on an aggressive pain management plan with 3 pain meds + a stomach protectant with…

I had a bun (Bam) who chopped his teeth so loud it could be heard into another room. This hapoened when he was super-relaxed and comfo and melted into my mum’s lap. (He loved my mum and always wanted to hop into her lap for cuddles). So the loudness doesnt necessarily mean it’s not purring.…

Teeth grinding is often associated with pain, but it’s all about context. Some rabbits like to bathe in the sun and warmth (why is beyond me considering they’re wearing fur coats 24/7) and the grinding can come from relaxation. As LBJ mentions, it could also be disapproval with the weather. Also, because rabbit owners can…

I had a bunny who would grind his teeth when he was very displeased about something. It was typically one sharp grind though. It was loud. He would do it when, for example, I had stopped him from doing something he wasn’t supposed to be doing. I have never heard of tooth grinding because it…
-
Why does he grind his teeth every time it’s a bit warmer? Other than the fact he’s a very emotional bun (earthquake inducing thumps, stares you in the eyes and pees where he’s not suppose to as protest, etc) and also grinds frequently when he’s sleeping… It’s NOT hot; I checked underneath that fur. Everytime…

Thank you for your reply, it means a lot. Yes Adi also couldn’t walk, couldn’t see properly. He tried to change his position sometimes where he sat (I took him out of course as well), and when he was without pillow he laid down on his side and often trying to get up. It must…
-
We all go through the “what ifs” in our heads. You can’t let that eat away at you and spoil your memories of him. He was clearly declining and not experiencing the best quality of life. His death was inevitable, whether he was put to sleep now or weeks from now, or if he died…

I also just realized that I went to a clinic (which I phoned before) that I actually did not intend to go to initially. I was aware from before of an emergency hospital in that neighboring city I went to but I guess phoned the emergency clinic instead. My gosh I think I was not…
