Thats a good idea. I wasn't planning to just give him to the first person who answered an ad. I'd have to make sure they were worthy of my baby :) I'd have to talk to them a few times and meet with them first. That's why I'm giving myself plenty of time, so I hopefully don't end up at the last...

I hate to do this but I need to try and find Pip a new home. I'm moving soon and I'm unable to take him with me, and my friends aren't able to take him in either. I'd hate to have to take him to a shelter because he needs a nice home with someone to love and snuggle him :) He's about 4 years old...

It's been about a week and I haven't given Pip any fresh greens. The leaking seems to have stopped, but it was sort of slowing down too when he went to the vet, so I don't know what the deal was. There haven't been any spots on the carpet and his poops are firmer and much less mushy, and they're...

Thanks for all the advice. I'll cut out the greens and treats for a week and see what happens. He didn't get a lot of treats to begin with, so that won't be hard to cut out. I'll hold off on greens and see if it makes a difference. I don't think he dislikes his pellets. He's never had a problem...

I'm not sure which area to post this in, so I apologize if it's in the wrong one. Feel free to move it :) Pip has been having problems with leaking off and on (mostly on) for about a month. It started out of nowhere and it just won't go away. I think it's due to megacolon since his poos range...

Well the place I'm taking him is an exotic vet office and he's seeing their rabbit person, so I'm hoping they can figure something out. Maybe I'm wrong and it's not megacolon, but he doesn't act sick really. I know if it's genetic there's not much that can be done, but it seems to be getting...

I've been having trouble with Pip, my 3 year old mini lop. He's got the white with broken black markings that they say is common in megacolon bunnies. He was fine up until maybe 2 months ago. He had some leakiness that wasn't diarrhea and it lasted for about a week and then stopped. It was gone...

Thanks for the advice, I'll see if I can find some of the horse probiotic anywhere. There should be some farm stores around so I'll just check if they carry it. Yeah Pippin is picky. The vet techs were all cooing over how cute and well behaved he was during the exam, and then when I went to pick...

Yeah Pippin is so picky about everything. He won't eat canned pumpkin either. He just likes to make things more difficult I think :) I can try the powder on his greens and maybe he won't notice it if it doesn't have a taste, or sprinkle some in with his pellets so I'm not having to hold him down...

I used up my last tube of bene-bac on Friday so I need to go buy some more. I'd get the powder but he's so picky about anything new on his food, I don't want him to stop eating. Does it have a taste? Since I'm giving him syringes already I think the tube would be easier, even though he's not too...

He seems to pee a bit at the same time as he leaves some droppings so the vet's best guess is that it was just blood from the urinary tract and it got on the poo. She said there didn't seem to be any problems with the GI tract. He puts up a little fight with the antibiotics but overall he seems...

I live in Nashua, NH. Nice to know there are other bunny people not too far away :)

I finally got my Pip back and it's good news. They did a fecal smear, CBC, and ultrasound and everything turned up normal. There is no sign of any bladder stones so I'm relieved. They tried to get a urine sample but they said he was cranky and had an attitude and kept flipping over the empty...

I forgot to add, the little bits of blood/tissue that was on his poop yesterday only happened that one time. I haven't seen any since then so I don't know what it was from. He was still eating and drinking fine this morning and ran right out to say goodmorning as soon as I turned on the light...

I took him to the exotic savvy vet this morning and she was really nice. She said she didn't feel any stones in his bladder and she was going to do an ultrasound and blood test to see if she could figure out what was wrong. He's there being observed right now because she's not comfortable doing...

Sorry, I meant to say bladder stone not kidney stone. An x-ray was done but nothing showed up, so they said it could be radiolucent. The er vet said she definitely felt a hard lump though and she was able to move it back into the bladder. I had to take him back again (first time at 2am, second...

Thanks for the advice. I saw a site for VPI and I was going to call tomorrow and see what they quote for a rabbit and the credit card thing is a good idea too. It's just on my mind because I'm having some trouble with Pip right now. He finally got diagnosed with a kidney stone so I need to call...

I took Pippin to the emergency vet again and told them what had been going on. The vet felt around and said she felt what she is almost sure is a kidney stone. She did an x-ray but it didn't show up on it but she was very clearly able to feel it and she was able to massage it back into the...

He eats plenty of hay and he drinks a normal amount of water. He's really picky with pumpkin and that stuff. He's never wanted anything to do with it. The majority of his poops are normal and round and drier, it looks like it might just be the cecotropes that are moister. I know they can hide...
