Anyone here ever fed dunlea farms timothy hay to bunnies? Wondering how good it is, quality, etc. Just curious! Thanks!

My bunny Lucy twice this year has had an issue where her appetite decreases, she stops eating, heading into stasis. Each time I'd gotten her to vet where we put her on pain meds, I had to forcefeed critical care for part of a day, and she would eventually be back to her normal self. This...

No, It doesn't always happen when they are moulting.

No appts today and since he has not been seen for this issue since last June, they 'legally' can't refill his prescription. BUT, my other bunny Lucy had been seen and treated in May so, they refilled her prescriptions. At least I will have medications till Tuesday. I did make an appt for...

Thursday night my bunny wouldn't eat, lying around, etc. All the normal signs of gas or potential onset of stasis. I had some metacam on hand, gave him that and simethicone and water. After an hour, I also had some metaclopromide on hand that I gave him. I was reluctant at first to give him...

The vet I go to doesn't believe the pineapple really does anything except the moisture of it aids....he doesn't believe that pineapple breaks down anything but, it is the moisture that they are getting from it that helps. That said, I give my bunnies a fresh pineapple chunk as a treat every...

Just an update on Lucy. She's doing great!!! She is off all medications...her last dose was Wednesday morning before her vet visit at noon that day. He is 90% sure it was digestive related and not her teeth. She looked fine, was well-hydrated, etc. He wanted to take her off all medications...

Thanks very much! She's doing better today! She's eating better and I have seen a lot of her normal self today and especially tonight. She's pooping although not her normal amount but she's still pooping! A good sign. And tonight when I went in to scoop the litter boxes and put out fresh...

Yep, he's looked at her teeth and had said the same thing...that they might have to put her under and file them but, he said they just don't look that bad! So, hence why he's being conservative...sigh. She does have a recheck appt with him on Wednesday. :) Lucy is a good name! On a...

The vet I'm going to is well known in this area (Richmond, VA) for rabbits..Dr. Kitterman. He seems to want to be conservative with this. He did say her teeth had some points but, were not that bad and didn't look like they were to the point where they would be bad. I'm getting the impression...

Back from the Vet. She is drooling more than she was before..this is why he thought originally it is tooth related or an infection (still could be) but, he said although he's not seen it happen very much the antibiotics could have caused an upset to her tummy. He felt around for a long time on...

Off to the vet we go for 11:40 appt. Also got some bene-bac in her plus found a store that sold some critical care....the apple-banana. Will hopefully know more after vet appt.

Update....she's eaten some parsley and a few leaves of baby romaine. A couple of tiny small pieces of hay. I have a call into the vet...he's there today was just in with another customer. NONE of our Petcos around here have bene bac liquid. They have powder...will that work with mixing...

Thank you guys so much. I'm headed to Petco first thing this morning when they open to get some. They open at 9 and it is almost 7 now. I slept for about 4 hours hoping by the time I got up she would have eaten. Nope...poor thing. I just gave her metacam (it was about time for pain medicine)...

I didn't even think about green veggies! Thanks!! I was able to get her to eat a few sprigs of parsley. I went ahead and gave her some simethicone just in case it is gas as well as some water through a syringe. Do you think I should still try to get some pellets mixed in water in her or just...
