Sadly, Teddy did not make it, he passed away last night. He was getting so much better until yesterday. I don't know why the vet had me giving him steroids. I miss the little bun already.

The vet gave him a shot of steroids and 30 5mg prednizone pills. I'm suppose to give him 1/2 2x/day for 10 days, then 1/2 pill per day for 10 days. What do too many steroids do? Where should I take him that will know about rabbits? That vet is the only one in my area that treats rabbits. Will...

A week ago, my bunny suffered a spine injury. He's been on steroids and doing much better. He's been hopping around, eating/drinking on his own, pooping, etc. He's not made it back to his normal energy level, but he was doing a lot better. All of the sudden today, he's doing terrible. He's not...

Teddy and I thank y'all for your wonderful advice! I really didn't think he was going to make it a few days ago, and now he's making a full recovery.:clapping:

Vet isn't available until tomorrow. Bunny's hopping around and laying on his side. He's starting to fight the syringe feeding more and more which is good b/c it means he's getting better, but I'm afraid he'll re-himself trying to fight. I've been able to get some gas medicine down him and he's...

He's not really eating by choice or pooping hardly at all. How do I treat him for GI stasis?

He pulled his legs underneath him and hopped to his litter box. I think he's going to be just fine!

He is peeing, but has not pooped yet. Is that okay?

My bun always likes sitting on the bottom of the cage. I don't know why, but I figure if that's what he wants to do it's fine with me. My cage has a food bowl that attaches to the cage so the bunny can't tip it. Be patient and give him time to adjust to his new surroundings.

Thanks so much for all the wonderful advice! Teddy's eating banana and mashed up pellets on his own, so I think that's a great sign. We're giving him lots of attention, I'm actually better able to keep him a part of things because he can't hop away.

I've crushed up the pellets and mixed the powder with water so it dissolves. Any idea how long it will be before he'll be able/want to eat on his own again? That's the worst part b/c it almost seems like he's giving up if he's not trying to eat.

Thanks for the advice about the critical care, Angie! I just ordered some. That seems easier to feed and better for him than just dissolved pellets.

The vet didn't x-ray him. I have him in a box with the top open to reduce mobility, although he's not really trying to move too much. He's been getting gatorade, water and mashed up pellets by syringe. The vet said gatorade would work the same way as pedialyte. He's not pooped yet since I got...

My dog had stepped on him the previous day, but he hopped around afterward so I thought he was fine. Also, he lives in a cage indoors. His cage has ramps with two shelves. I think he may have fallen from one of the upper shelves, but I'm not sure. He has not been exposed to any pesticides...

I have a two year old holland lops. This morning I found him laying on his side with his food and water untouched from yesterday. He was limp and not acting at all like himself. I took him to the vet, and the vet decided that it was a neurological injury. He thinks my bunny may not be...
