Buffy Bunny Update and typing correction

S

Good morning! Yesterday i miss typed the dossage for Metacam. Buffy recieved 0.4 mls of Metacam NOT 4mls- wrote post in a rush. Even though Buffy was eating some cabbage i took her to the outr of hours vet incase the improvement was the metacam perking her up. The vet put her oon the floor on withch she promptly weed ran into a corner and pooped! Everything was moving nicely through her gut again- lots of gurgling- and the vet did not charge which was lovely of her.

When we got home the culprit was staring us in the face in the porch. On the chair is a very large bag of WAGG bunny mix - Buff's fave as she is currently on Excell light. She had eaten her way through the bottom of the sack!

Can't believe we put her at risk like that- didnt know she could get onto the chair!
Could have been lethal!:cry: Very stupid mistake to make.

Buffy says thankyou for your replies- and promises she wont do it again:roll:
(you wont get the chance Buff!)

Anyone know of a weekly weight watchers meeting for Buffy?:p

Thanks again - Steph and the 22 strong fury mob:wave:
 
:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

I have faigue recall of a bunny fat camp that one rescue operates. They may be able to give you some tips. I think it is usually along the lines of

gradually reduce pellets
Increase hay
cut out fatty veg like carrots
increase excercise (bunny treadmill?)

Don't let them loose too much weight at once or it can cause kidney problems.
