    Dearest Alfie

    After a life of dental disease and g.i. stasis Alf died from cancer. We miss him every day. A curse on anyone who breeds pocket pets. No animal deserves a life in a cage with endless health problems. Goodbye dear.

    Tiny poops but eating well, steady weight

    Following a routine molar trim, Alfie made a normal good recovery. About three days. Five days later he went into a g.I.stasis. When his temperature dropped I took him to vet emerg- his regular vet. -They hydrated him and started him on his usual meds, metoclopramide, Cisapride and Metacam for...

    Tiny poops but no chamges in diet.

    After a great 5 weeks post molar trimming, Alfie started pooping small dry poops. At first 25% then 50% of his daily number of poops (which hasn't changed in actual count). He eats 1 tbsp oxbow pellets twice day and unlimited hay, Timothy, oat etc. Only Oxbow treats. 1 per day. 5 days ago he had...

    Never poops the same way for long

    I just wondered if any of you experience this. It sure is hard on the nerves if you have a rabbit prone to g.i. stasis. Alf pooped about 300 a day +/- maybe 20 balls for his first three years. That is when he wasn't having tummy problems. He pooped over night about 140, 50 or so 5pm to 7pm then...

    Small irregular poops but Alf gaining weight

    So Alf has his molars trimmed every 8 weeks. 3 visits ago the practice changed its anesthetic protocol to include dexdomitor so they would be exposed to less isoflurane. From that appointment onwards Alf has had a very difficult recovery. They are the only vets within an hours drive who will see...

    Rabbit poops too small and too few

    Alf is my dwarf 2.6lb angora. About 5 days ago we noticed his poops getting smaller. He was still eating and producing 300+ poops a day. 2 days ago his poops decreased to 250 or less, yesterday 230 today 220. Very unusual he has pooped 300+ every day of his life. We noticed 3 days ago he was...

    An update on Alfie's dental issues

    I had posted on this thread about my dwarf Angora and his dental journey. I wanted to share his progress. In February he'll be 3 years. So many occasions I thought he wouldn't live this long. From his first gastric stasis emergency (always middle of the night) his vet told me he had dental...

    Alf coming home from dental 2 teeth extracted.

    Apart from what the vet tells me to do, does anyone have experience with teeth extraction? Antibiotics and metacam tends to make Alf lose his appetite, he has been on them before for a tooth abscess. I told the vet that but she says he needs them. I'm used to feeding critical care. Anything else...

    Help please - GI issues, possible infection

    My little fluffy angora goes thru a motility slow down twice a year at moulting seasons. This year has been the worst. I took him to our vet at night for an emerg visit. I got the usual g.i. motility drugs for 5 days and the vet thought he had a "snotty"nose too. He has always had a yellow...

    Too many treats

    Clever little Alfie got the lid off his tub of hay and climbed in. Unfortunately we also keep his Oxbow Digestive treats in there too. When I found him he was eating them. I dont know how many he may have had, possibly 10 could be unaccounted, more likely less than that. He normally gets 2 a...

    Recovery

    Can anyone offer some advice to a worried mom? My dwarf angora had dentistry yesterday and they found an abscess at the gumline on a molar. Tooth not mobile, hoping for a good recovery. Alf was picked up at 6pm last night and I was told he was eating up a storm. Well, he isnt eating at home...

    Quiet and active times.

    When and for how long does your rabbit sleep, or have downtime? Mine goes into his "bedroom" around 9 or 10am and stays fairly closed up until 6 or 7pm. He comes into the front room and chills on the floor for a couple of hours. Then he comes to life. Those two hours of doing nothing but sitting...

He was great a month ago but he blew out his coat and had lots a hairy poops and slowed down eating hay. He still eats his 1 tbsp of Oxbow pellets every day and 1/2 cup greens(usually dandelions...

    Greetings from Clonmel Farm

    Hi. This is my rescued bunny "Alfie". He is 1 1/2 year old neutered male dwarf. I've been told he is a lionhead x angora. He has a very thick double coat and red eyes. We had another rescue rabbit a couple of years ago but she had to be euthanised when she developed ecuniculi infection. We...
