Personally, I'm not sure that broccoli and kale are the best greens to be feeding any rabbit in large quantities and on a regular basis. They are not considered the 'safe' greens, as far as I know. They tend to cause gas and stomach problems. If she is pooping normally, you have little to worry...

River is doing much better, thanks! She's acting normal and although the quantity and quality of her stools is still not what I would like it to be (small, dark) it's obvious that her bowels are moving along regularly again. I'm still pushing some greens and such, but she's enjoying them much...

I'm sleeping soon. Of course now I'm worried that she has internal injuries from passing this monstrous thing. She looked happy enough when I left, but of course the thought is lingering. Ugh. :( Hoping for a happy, hungry bun when I see her tomorrow. <br /><br /> -- Tue May 16, 2017 8:33 am --...

Seriously. Go check my most recent update in the 'fighting stasis' thread. :shock: (spoiler: no... she didn't have a litter)

Right. I didn't want have to try the enema route, but may give it a shot tonight. Also going to see if I can find that pumpkin! -- Mon May 15, 2017 9:21 pm -- So.... update. I just came in a little while ago to check on River after going to the grocery store. I did find pure pumpkin (in...

River is basically no longer accepting food or passing any poops. I'm not going to panic because I've read about buns doing this for several days and then recovering. Still very worried about her. I'm going to keep trying to make sure she gets fluids. She is still fairly active, but I wouldn't...

I didn't even think of that! I'll try to check back and see. I looked in the canned veg section. -- Mon May 15, 2017 9:17 am -- Banana? I thought banana was 'binding' (but maybe that's just for humans?) River is the only one of my rabbits who has ever been willing to eat banana, and that...

Thank you. That makes me feel better, maybe I don't have to be in total danger mode. I figure as long as she's eating and passing SOME stools, she's not critical? I did just feed her a fair amount of dandelion leaves. She's not super active, but she's alert and the straining thing seems to have...

I didn't hear any gugling. Her belly seems larger than normal (although that's kind of hard to gauge as she gotten sort of fat - no, she is definitely not pregnant) but her belly is soft. -- Sun May 14, 2017 12:30 pm -- Thank you. I looked for pumpkin last night, sadly it is not available...

I realize I haven't been here in a long time, but I'm trying to make sure I'm doing all I can for my dutch doe (River). It appears that she's fighting stasis. After changing her litterbox a couple of days ago (Friday), I realized yesterday that she was producing only a few small poops. I've...

It was a difficult decision for me because I don't want to put strain on the relationship, but if he weren't an otherwise great guy, this would probably be a deal-breaker for me. Unfortunately, it doesn't help that she's shedding a lot. :p

We had something like that when I worked at a grooming place in Indiana. I don't know why they would have issues at a place like PetSmart, I'm sure they have a similar tool. Oh well.

Got them trimmed today! :) She had an appointment at the groomer and did very well, except she kept trying to bite the blow dryer. :p

Yeah, although I know that having her here wouldn't help if someone came in with the intention of just shooting us all, I do think that having a dog 'warning' a person will make the average hoodlum think twice about causing trouble.

Thanks :) I'm not very familiar with Brittany Spaniels, I know they're working bird dogs and that she looks vaguely like the breed... both in body type, coat and color. I know nothing about their temperaments. It was suggested to me that she might have 'pit bull' in her, which would be very...
