Oh Catlyn, I'm so sorry to see that you have recently lost a dear bun too... Sending lots of love and hugs to you, Iris, and your folks. ❤️

Thanks, @overhear . That consolation means a lot ❤

Thank you so much, Catlyn. Ellie has had a hard lot in life. She and her brothers were raised as "meat rabbits", so she has long outlived her original life expectancy. She has had a lot of health issues over the years, but we got through them. Over the last several months, I've noticed her...

Some of you helped me a couple months ago, when my Ellie Nay was having tooth spur issues. Unfortunately, her situation was a bit more complicated than that, and she's been poorly for the last month or so. Last night, my husband and I made the difficult decision to help her cross the Bridge...

I hope your appointment is more like Ellie's, though, and they just need to file some teeth. When is your appointment? I will keep your sweet bunny in my thoughts, and send good vibes that all goes well! ❤️

I think the vet did an xray in July when I initially took her. They did do an xray on Pippi when she had her tooth extracted, and the abscess was this big black blob surrounding her poor tooth. 😞 If they do extract the tooth, the biggest thing is to have something soft for your bun to eat...

I wasn't actually able to talk to the vet yesterday. She was too busy with patients, but since she knew the situation, she prescribed medicine for my little bun. As far as comforting Ellie before and after, I held her in the vets office (I was one of the first people in there, so there were no...

I'm not sure what type of anesthetic my vet used... 🤔 i do know that they did blood work on her. I'm actually going to try and schedule a vet appointment for one of my other rabbits for this evening (she had an absess in her tooth, so they pulled it, but the infection is showing again), so I...

They did burr down her molars, and I swear, she's acting much more like her old self. She circled my feet this evening when I gave her Meloxicam, which she hasn't done that since I stopped giving her cookies in July. She's so soooo happy and now I wish I would have scheduled this a lot sooner...

For clarification, I do live in a rural location. I live in the middle of West Virginia in the US, and honestly, I'm surprised I found an exotic vet in my area (two towns over. It's about a half hour drive). They've always done a good job with my buns. Ellie's dental procedure went really...

Interesting to know!

Yeah, I'm sure the vet will double check those things before putting Ellie under. They're pretty good about that at our office. Since my vet will be out of town, i won't be able to get Ellie in until her appointment on the 29th. I hope it's something as easy as eyedrops, but since we know this...

So, they're going to be able to get her in on the 29th (my rabbit savvy vet is going out of town next week. I figure Ellie should be ok til then), and we'll find out more then. I'll keep you guys posted!

Oh my gosh... that's awful... I'm calling the vet as soon as they open.

Oh gosh, I never did update... but the Vet told us to increase her to 0.7 mL twice a day, and it has been helping her so much. Thanks for the input, JBun!

At the end of July, I took Ellie into the vet to get her Meloxicam dosage increased (.7 ml twice a day for arthritis), and the vet pointed out how Ellie's eye is watering constantly. She stated that it was probably due to tooth spurs, and she recommended getting them filed. Normally, I'm all...

Thank you so much! A year ago, they had me giving her 1.5 mL, but when I took her in in October, they knocked it down to the 0.7 mL. Throughout last year, they would get really confused that I would run through a bottle so quickly... my other older bun (Pippi, 3.5 pound Holland Lop, 8 years...

My little girl, Ellie (she's 8.5 pounds, and 9 years old.. haha. Not so little) is getting up in her age. She has arthritis really bad, and until recently, it seemed like her 0.7 mL dose of Meloxicam was working pretty well. Over the last month, I've noticed a bit of a decline. Throughout her...

I have always loved rabbits. One of my first toys was a little brown rabbit that my Oma gave me when I was 2 or 3, and my absolute favorite toy was a series of white rabbits named Bugsy that my Grandma gave me. (That's a fun story in itself!). Whenever I was 7 and my brother was 4, my dad's...

Thanks, JBun. ❤️ my husband and I were chatting about it this morning, and we'll be using a different gate for these two, since we definitely know they can't be around each other. You know, you would think that after spending two years in xpens beside each other that they would kind of have a...
