Thank you!!! This is all very helpful. I was wondering about safely exposing her to the dog. She gets really frightened even more easily than my last rabbit because she was evidently dumped as a bunny on a freezing night, left in a box. Supposedly, law enforcement investigated the box, and...

Hi All, After losing my 9yr old rabbit in 2021, I adopted a sweet lionhead rescue rabbit almost two years ago. She has a similar living setup as my last bun- large xpen during the day, and free roam in our living area with us in the evening where she gets lots of binky exercise. Everything has...

@AVIE thank you ❤

Thank you, @Cara . I am so sorry for the loss of Walter. The guilt feelings are abating for me. I am slowly realizing that I did all I could do for her. Sadness remains, of course, but is easing a bit. And yes, we talk about her often and remember her antics with a smile. I wish you peace...

@MyMelody I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your baby! I know exactly how you feel. I keep seeing Dimi everywhere- I actually go into check on her, and remember that she's not there anymore. Thank you for your message, I appreciate it. I know for a fact that your rabbit and mine would not...

Thank you, Larry and Barbara❤

I'm so sorry, Orrin, for your loss. Just when I think I'm getting a bit better, it all hits me again. I miss her so very much.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I just lost mine as well. They are just such fragile animals😔😔

Thank you all so much❤! Yes, I agree with @DelawareRunner , bunnies are very special. I am 53 and have lost many pets- this one was the WORST. She feels like my little child. Maybe it's because they are so innocent and require so much attention. Also with her needing the special medical...

Thank you both, Apollo's Slave and CrazyChickenGirl. I knew only rabbit people would understand how I feel! I'm sorry about your rabbit passing from stasis as well. They are such fragile animals. We buried her in the backyard, and I found a stone Zen bunny (with lop ears!) statue to put on...

My 9yr old lop passed last Wed. I have been crying off and on since then, and having trouble coping. This is a bit long, but I've been wanting to write this out, and this is the first day I felt I could do it. Dimi has had lifelong stasis issues, and I've been able to pull her out of stasis...

Watermelons, any advice on how to get my rabbit to eat the petromalt? I've tried putting a dab on her pellets and she won't eat the petromalt or pellets that are touched by it.

I just want to comment on the Laxatone issue. I also was under the impression that Laxatone or any other form of hairball medicine was BAD for rabbits, and not helpful with GI stasis. I had read an article by Dana Krempels basically stating this. She says since it's mineral oil based, it can...

Thank you both for the responses. I know food poisoning can present differently, and it was difficult to find info online. I did find references to mouldy hay causing liver damage over time as well as other damage. I also found a bit on salmonella. I'm happy to report that Dimi was perky as...

My rabbit Dimi has been through GI stasis several times, unfortunately. I think it's very good that you're getting her to eat greens. Make sure they are nice and wet when you feed them as she will get more water that way. My Dimi does not drink much water, so when she is having a problem, I...
