Aww, I'm so sorry for your loss of Shae. What a sweet looking bunny. I recently went through the same thing and it sucks. I've been torn throughout most of last week after the loss of Sammy, my Holland Lop. I worry about Charlotte his cagemate. Today though we both are a little better. Not a...

She seems to be doing ok. I did put in a white stuffed monkey in her cage and she like being next to it. Actually glancing out of the corner of my eye, I think that it is Sammy. I've been letting her have the run of the room which she likes. She only gets locked away at night. I know now who the...

Oh wow I'm so sorry for your loss. She was a very beautiful bunny. It is so tragic. I recently lost my lop ear bunny to complications of megacolon. He wasn't even 4yo yet. It went so fast. He was fine on Sunday, had some gassy pains on Monday, was doing terrible by friday and passed late friday...

Thank you all for the kind words. They mean a lot to me. I just wanted to post some pictures of Sammy. Here they are:

I have a 4 yo rabbit that just suffered the loss of her cagemate. She is doing ok as of now, maybe a little lost. She is still eating drinking and pooping and not sick. She isn't very people oriented and doesn't look to people for much other than treats. At this point in life I am not able to...

It is with great sadness that I post that my little Sammy buns lost his battle with assumed megacolon. He had never been a normal bunny since I got him at six weeks old. He had always had oddly shaped poo and frequent tummy upsets. i became a pro at noticing the signs and giving baby gas x. We...

thanks guys, I haven't had an offical diagnosis as the vet hasn't really heard of megacolon in rabbits but it makes sense though. I deal with a megacolon kitty at work and she is on lactulose maintenance and hasn't had an issue in months. Sammy has never had normal poops since I got him as a...

Sammy is acting completely normal today. He is hopping around eating his food, drinking and shredding his phone book. He is still having very runny poop but at least it is there. I hope the flagyl will help that. He is on a strict diet of leafy greens and hay. I'm not even giving him his papaya...

Still doing good today, Lots of poop. They are more formed today, but still really soft. He is eating and drinking pretty much normally now, and his belly feels normal again. I stopped the metacam, gas x, and Sq fluids and am just doing the flagyl till it is done. This time was pretty hard, I...

He is acting a lot better even with the loose stools. This is how his last stasis incident went albeit the poops came much faster than this time. I did stop the baytril and switched to flagyl starting yesterday. Baytril was what he was on on the last stasis incident, but flagyl makes much more...

Well we have poop now. It is nasty soft diarrhea poop, but at least it is coming out. There was mucous in it as well, but the mucous is clear. He seems happier and is still eating, although he is spending alot of time in the litterbox to the point that he is resting in it. One thing that I...

I was researching the reglan flagyl interactions and couldn't find any. I even looked in the doctors Plumb drug guide and didn't see anything. I did find Cisparide flagyl interactions though. Something about arrythmias. So that is a no no. I will look more though.

We are doing a little better today. I got the flagyl suspension and am going to stop baytril and start flagyl. He is very bright and alert and came out on his own today to hop around. He is eating lots of greens and a small amount of pellets. The gas is still way less and I felt the poopy mass...

I can get ahold of flagyl easy, the biosponge not so easy. Update to this evening, there was a glob of really soft stool on the ground and I am sure it was from him as it was right after he hopped to the other side of the room. Also this evening his belly is way less gassy. I can actually...

Sorry for the lack of update as I was at work all day. Sammy is still hanging in there. He is acting relatively normal. He ate some greens and a little pellets this morning and drank water . I did his treatments as usual and gave alot of wet greens. At lunch there was two blobs of what I think...

Yup I'm doing the tummy massages too. He is about the same today. No poops, but still eating drinking and hopping around. He does seem a bit uncomfortable as he will lay with his belly pressed to the ground but not all the time. His belly still feels very gassy to me and I've been giving gas x...

Yup Im keeping up on the gas x as well. He is getting it every few hours about 2 dropperfuls. He likes the taste and takes it willingly. I also syringe water mixed with pedialyte at that time as well. He will drink about 8cc at a time before fighting the syringe. Right now he is eating more greens.

Yeah I was thinking that as well, I did back off the SQ fluids a bit because he is drinking more on his own and there was some residual fluids that went donw to his armpit. I don't want to overhydrate him either. His pee is kinda clear to light yellow. I'm happy he is feeling better, but was...

Man this is really weird. This morning Sammy was really bright and alert, but still no poop. His belly felt actually a little better. His temp is still fine. I did give him his morning treatments and then let him play. He was hopping all about like usual. He even did a bunny flop on his side...

Well we are still at the same point. He is still alert and moving around although a little less. He did come out of his cage on his own and hopped around a bit. I encouraged him to hop around to help his gut. His treatments have continued with the metacam twice a day( I am making sure he is...
