acting....odd

[kaymas]

Lupa has been sitting in her litter box for a while with her ears lowered and her eyes droopy. It's got me a little worried.

Now she's not the most active bun during the day but this just looks odd. The thing that has me concerned the most is the lowered ears since her ears always point straight up.

She's still drinking water, eating the hay in her litter box and all that. She doesn't seem to be pooping nearly as much though. I've offered her a treat and some banana and she gladly took it. I had to leave her with my mom yesterday night to look after her but I left detailed instructions for her care. Is is possible she's just mad that I left her? Should I be concerned?

I just gave her her veggies and she ran out to them.....i think i'm just being a paranoid first time mama

When their ears are "down", it can mean they're very relaxed and content...maybe your bunny was tired from the stress of your being gone and feeling very relaxed now that you're back

It's important to keep an eye on the poops, though. If those continue to be less than usual, the digestive system might be slowing down. Let us know how it goes.

oh really?! I had no idea! I guess I just assumed it was an indication that something was wrong. She's definitely back to normal though and her poops are increasing slowly. I'll continue to keep an eye on them

Thanks for your reply:biggrin:

The little brats are definitely a learning experience. Each one of ours is different too.

Since she's our first I think we're freaking out over every little thing....especially me lol. She can drive me nuts sometimes but I love her to death lol. Thank gosh you guys are here though :big kiss:

Tell me about it! I recently took one of mine to the vet because he "didn't seem like himself" and didn't take food from me. The vet found absolutely nothing wrong but I felt better I think the poor thing was just sleepy...

Thats what Massimo and I think might have been going on with Lupa. She perked right up after a long long long nap lol.
