Yeah, it's okay.

Sorry, coming on belatedly to say that I did not realize your bun and mine were suffering different injuries. I am so sorry. I'm not a technical person - I get about as far advanced in medical terminology as to say my bun has an ouchie here or there. If the vets at CEAH are telling you that...

We went through this too. And our vet is in Guelph! Poor bunny was poked in the eye with a piece of hay. BAD corneal ulcer resulted. His injured eye was all white in 24 hours. We rushed him to CEAH (I assume that is your vet, best bun vets in the country). They offered me two options -...

Welcome Sara and Benji! Sorry we're all napping here... In my opinion, there are not a lot of great options for rabbit vets in KW. However, that's just fine, because we have access to the best rabbit vets in the country, I think, in Guelph. There is a clinic called Campus Estates Animal...

Mr B, I am so glad you had good results. But more importantly, you knew what to watch for, and you were watching.

MrBunns nailed it again. Giving medication to a reluctant bun is a huge issue for a lot of us bun parents, so thank you for posting a method that works for you. It will work for at least some of the bun parents out there. We've dealt with major yet common surgery on here. We've also dealt with...

Thanks so much, Mrbunny. I didn't know if we had a bun in crisis after a spay, or a bun in stasis after a spay. I've had both, so tried to cover both with 'is she pooping'? It's really great that Farmer Steve came back on and let us know she was pooping, so we could get to the real problem...

I'm sorry if my advice was incomplete. I offered the best I could in the middle of the night to a bun in crisis. Now that you have had time to heal, evaluate, etc... how is Nibbles doing?

Any update on Miss Nibbles? Sounds like you did a great job getting fluids into her through greens, etc. and that she was starting to come around. If you are still managing to get her pain meds, fluids and food into her (and the appropriate stuff is coming out), then she should be bouncing back...

I'm an idiot, I should have said that if Nibbles is in stasis, the vet can give her a few drugs that will make her digestive system work again. Normally, they give two - one works on the upper digestive system, one on the lower. They are Cisapride and, er, something else... If Nibbles is...

Stasis is a leading cause of death in bunnies, but is also completely treatable if the bun parent is aware of the symptoms. So you must familiarize yourself with them. If caught and treated early, it's not a huge deal, but you literally have only hours to recognize the symptoms and deal with it...

If it is the taste of the medicine she is objecting to, then you can try to mix it with something she will eat. A teaspoon of canned pumpkin or baby food (pure fruit, no sugar) is great for disguising the taste of yucky meds, and provides hydration as well. Or you can hollow out a piece of...

I had this same dilemma. My solution was to purchase an inexpensive, second-hand baby changing table. It is very sturdy, high enough to prevent escape attempts, and it also provides much-needed storage space. I think I paid $30, found it on Craigslist.
