Shasta was in the middle of his molt when he got sick. I think it must lower the immune system.

My seven and a half year old mini rex Shasta has just come through a nasty gs episode (with much help from his wonderful vet!) In my ongoing crusade to promote more hay-eating I drove to the next city to buy four different types of Oxbow hay. They are all low protein/long strand (no alfalfa)...

Trust me, Lulu - life is better with a friend. Of course, it helps a lot if you are spayed and he is neutered. You're much less likely to fight, no one will spray pee, and - let's face facts, sister - there are already way too many unwanted buns out there. We shouldn't make more. And of...

Try going in sideways with the syringe, behind the front teeth, and pointing back (not too far). They seem to use a chomping reflex (as well as bucking the head) to dodge things coming into their mouths.

I haven't even had the nerve to add up Shasta's gastric stasis bills, but they must be close to 700 by now. The good news is he's back - he is his old bouncy self again, and his partner has her bounce back too, as a result. The money really hurt, though, not to mention the stress (I'm very...

I, on the other hand, did not appreciate either of my wives when I first met them. My first wife, Mattie, met me when I was only a boy, and she was very unpleasant to me. I was quite scared of her. My second wife, Immy, was just a baby when I met her, and I must confess that I was very...

Thank-you! I hope that Wanda continues to improve and grows more robust. Shasta also seems more fragile than he was.

My buns are cage free. They do have a cage, but it is their washroom. They have destroyed a fair bit of stuff over the years. We refer to things as having been "bunnied". A little movable fence keeps them away from the end of the living/dining room that has the TV amd lamp cords. They are not...

Have you contacted Rabbit Rescue? They are on the web. They are fantastic.

I lost my sweet Mattimeo to gs some years ago, so when my six year old mini-rex neutered boy stopped eating and sat rigidly grinding his teeth I shot to the vet like a rocket! Four weeks ( and a lot of cisapride, subdermal saline and Critical Care tube feeding) later, Shasta is hopping about...

I am new to this forum. I have two wonderful bunnies. Shasta is a six and a half year old mini-rex, and Immy is a three year old netherland dwarf. Shasta is just coming through a bad attack of gastric stasis. Luckily, we have a great vet! I am always looking to find out more about these...
