What a cutie! From one mini rex to another - welcome to RO-------

Thought I'd update everyone on Sydney's tail issues. After a year of dealing with her licking/biting her tail, on and off antibiotics and having to wear the little collar for weeks at a time, she is currently (knock on wood and keep your fingers crossed) just about 8 weeks without incident. I...

Sydney absolutely loves bananas and will beg for them. If she hears my husband in the kitchen when she's out in the evening, she'll run to the edge of the carpet and wait until he brings her a piece. She is a fruit lover. You do have to watch the amounts they get each day (we've been able to up...

Sydney came with her name, since she was a rescue bun, and I liked her name so it stuck. However, I did decide to add a middle name and she became Sydney Sue. Over the past 8 years she's acquired many nicknames - Syd, Syde (syd-ee), Syd Sue, Syders, pooh, bugga and for some unknown reason - Fred!

Sydney has been a multi GI bunny and we too have spent time in the emergency and regular vet and many sleepless nights. The biggest thing is to keep him eating and hydrated. Sydney also gets fresh pineapple each night. When things are bad, we do fresh pineapple juice in a syringe instead.

Try making a slurry of warm water and pellets. Does her stomach seem sore or tight? Like she might have gas? Is she sitting hunched up or acting like she can't get comfortable? If so she might need some baby gas drops. Sydney weighs just over 4 lbs and I give her 1mL of the drops and then repeat...

Doz look sweet. Kinda like my furry bear. Yuz is lucky to has babies to play wit and snuggles. I bet yuz gonna be a good momma. Keep us updated wit pics :stork:

Do you have any Critical Care on hand? You may need to syringe feed her to keep the gut working. She probably needs a probiotic to get her back on track. Keeping good thoughts for Lucy.

That is the coolest coloring on a bun I've seen. What a lucky bun! I love how your dog just goes with the flow and seems to take this new addition in stride. Melvin seems to think he's bigger than he is and might end up being the alpha pet of the group :wave:

Thanks I do like all the Oxbow products, and they do seem to have the science/research behind their products. I can't find the Joint Tabs or other supplements in any of the stores close by, so I'll have to order them, but since I can also order some of her other products, maybe I can save a bit...

After a wellness visit to the vets today, we discussed starting Sydney on a Glucosamine product to help her arthritis and maybe ease the continued tail munching (previous thread in the infirmary section - still an issue we deal with off and on). I recall having seen Oxbows product in a small...

We've had many syringe feed experiences with Sydney and GI Stasis and she often wears it, as well as struggles. Cassnessxox is right as far as the side being the best area and wrapped as tight as possible. This seems to be the best way that I've found. I also try to make the slurry a thinner (it...

My momma likes to touch all da spots, but since I like her and I be an older bunz now I let her, but sometimes she kisses way to much when we nuggle. As for da big guy, I likes the noms (specially nanos :wiggle), but not the touches in the no, caution and I kill you spots. Only the yes and meh...

I use to give the hairball remedy also, but stopped after reading that it actually forms a barrier around a hairball and prevents water and other enzymes from penetrating the mass and prevent it from passing through or breaking down. Now I use daily chunks of fresh pineapple to help with fur...

Update to the ongoing tail saga: Since things were looking better, I took Sydney's collar for a few hours yesterday after I came home from work, since she has really be acting a bit depressed with it on in her cage (she never has it on when she's out of her cage, since I always monitor her)...

I have two, one in her cage and another in her carrier which is open for her when she has free time to run. Her cage litter gets changed every other day, and the other one depends on how much use it gets. As long as your buns use them, then you can't have to many.

Sydney doesn't always eat her pellets up on occasion. Usually it is just a random occurrence at times and nothings wrong. It might be that even though you had a great sitter, the routine was just off enough to throw their schedule. I'd just keep an eye out for any other signs of distress, but...

Adorable :yahoo:

Thanks tamsin, it's something to consider since when she was on the Metacam she did not chew at her tail. Also, I know she has some arthritis issues, looses her balance easily, doesn't always get at a spot she wants to with he back legs, etc. I will be calling my regular vet on Tues and that is...
