Nevermind ... sigh. She's gone. I'm broken hearted. I loved all my bunnies ... but Skittles was my favorite. There was something special about her that I loved. I feel so broken hearted right now. She groaned when I picked her up (right before she died in my arms) I was holding her and felt her...

I do have a good probiotic - it's a probiotic gel called "Fastrack" ever hear of it and/or use it ? The fastrack probiotic I have is "Ruminant Microbial Gel" ... so it's actually for ruminants (goats, cows, deer). So I don't know if there's a difference that would be of any concern or not ...

It also might be helpful to know the diarrhea doesn't stink bad. I can smell a faint odor to it ... but not much at all. Cocci should stink .. ?

She doesn't feel cold ... and she is moving around, etc.

Here's pictures ... so you can see what the poo looks like ... I'm feeding Manna Pro

I just took her temp - I'm slightly ambarrassed to admit - but I'm not sure which "area" I poked the thermometer into ... not being that "bunny smart" I don't know if I put the thermometer in her "vent" like her female area ... or in her anus ... ??? Would it make a difference ? Regardless...

Pipp ~ should I syringe FEED the pedyalite to her ... or give it to her sq with a needle ?

Pipp ~ I do have electrolytes - they don't say for bunnies - but they're safe for kittens, puppies, foals, lambs, goats, calf, pigs, etc. Or should I just stick with the homemade recipe ? She's moving on her own free will - she's actually up hopping around now ! I also have nutridrench...

I do have a sulfa med ~ "Sulfamethoxazole" ... I was given this med by a veterinarian to treat a baby fawn with scours (diarrhea). So I still have it ... although it is expired by a few months. I also have Corid ~ I noticed that was also listed as a so called "safe med" for bunnies according...

Ok - I found this information about meds for bunnies on this website = http://islandgems.net/meds.html and it says that pepto can be used for diarrhea ... I've used it for goats, etc. for diarrhea before, so I have some on hand. So I will also start her on the pepto. So here's what...

we don't have any 24hr vet near our area ... we live in the boonies. All the vets around here are closed. I did try to call my vet's emergency phone and could not get through ... I don't know if it's not working or not ... it just won't connect me. So I can't get through to my vet. And like I...

more details ... I tried giving her water right away ... she wasn't interested ... unless she's just to weak to accept it. I did syringe a little into her anyway. I have meds ... Pennicillian, Scour Treatments, etc. but I have mostly livestock meds. I'm used to treating goats, and other...

Ok ... more details (I just wanted to get a breif message posted so you's can start commenting right away) I don't know what happened to her buddy ... before I knew anything was even wrong, she was dead. As for this bunny that's still alive (but barely) ... she's a giant chinchilla bunny...

my bunny has yellowish diarrhea and also just lost her bunny buddy a day ago ... and now she is "near death" .. barely moving, etc. more details to come ...

Ok well, I was just reading another post about bonding 3 bunnies, so I think I got question 2 sorta answered ...(what I gathered from the post I read) =It's really hard to do, and they love everyone when they're babies, then when they start going through the hormonal changes they can become...
