Sorry to hear about your situation. If your bunny is eating normally and seems 'binky' he might not be feeling any pain. I would just monitor him very closely and make sure you stay in touch with the vet to monitor the situation. With everything that has recently happened, it would be terrible...

I recently ran out of my rabbit's food, Kaytee Supreme Daily Blend - NON fortified. When I went to go buy more at the pet store they didn't have any. None of the pet stores seem to be carrying anything but the fortified kind. After purchasing the fortified and giving it to my bunny, an adult...

I was about to go out to the store and get some simethicone, when Buttercup started eating both the baby carrots I gave him. He then ate some hay and some of his alfalfa pellets. He made a few good pellets too and used his litterbox. He then sat down comfortably and has been looking good and...

Hi All, Not sure if this is GI Statis or an underlying problem. Buttercup (4 yr old male lionhead) refused to eat his morning treat of carrots and parsley. It looks like he ate his treat last night and left a large pile of nice-sized pellets. After refusing his treat and fresh hay, I started...

Hi Everyone, Thought I would just share something that recently happened with Buttercup. He is a 3.5 yr old lionhead bunny. Last week I was alarmed to find a 3 inch spot of blood on one of his blankets. The spot had been there (I'm guessing) for about 2 days, and he was acting totally normal...

Thanks everyone for the replies. This puts my mind at ease :)

Hi Everyone, I was just wondering how much a bunny should poop on any given day? My bun is a 3-yr old male, lionhead mix. He usually leaves a nice amount in his litterbox throughout the day, but I've noticed the past couple days he's only been going in the morning and the evening, but not...

Thanks for all the helpful suggestions. I took away Buttercup's pellets and just gave him some hay and water. Was about to give him a slice of apple when he went into his litterbox and left a nice pile of poop! Will definitely look into the papaya tablets. I just want to make sure things keep...

Hello Everyone, My 3-yr old lionhead, Buttercup, stopped pooping this morning. Last night he refused his nightly carrot and had limited stools. This morning he seemed normal (ate his banana slice and was running around). He's been eating his hay, pellets and drinking water all day, but has not...

I've done a few searches to see if I can find hibiscus on the toxic plant/flower list for rabbits, and this is what I found: "Hibiscus rosa-sinensis. The branches of these shrubs, which are used as living fences in the Caribbean, can be fed to rabbits, as is now the practice in Haiti. The...

Hi Everyone, I've recently moved my hibiscus trees indoors for the winter and was wondering if anyone knows if they are poisonous to rabbits? Does anyone have any knowledge on this topic? Thanks! Elizabeth

Hi Everyone! Thanks for the wonderful responses. Just thought I would give a quick update... I ended up taking Buttercup to the vet. She took a look and said that everything seemed to be ok. When I asked what was going on, she said that it could be the stress of the previous visit (the...

Thanks for the advice, everyone! His water is in a crock, so he doesn't have to worry about a bottle. I'll try adding the apple juice to give it a little flavor. In the meantime, if he doesn't drink, I've decided to run up to the vet and leave a note with the doctor that explains the...

Hi, I'm hoping someone here has had a similar situation and can shed some light... Saturday morning my bunny (Buttercup, who is a male lionhead) was panting and kept laying down. I took him right to the vet. She took xrays, said she didn't see anything, gave him fluids and sent us home...
