I very very rarely post about her health any more, as although it isn't great, she's stable and is enjoying life.

She spends her days poodling about with Biscuit, eating, drinking, the occasional rush, but mostly, sits on my lap for a lot of the day.

Unfortunately, in the past 3 days, I have noticed she has lost a considerable amount of weight :(

Unfortunately, I've not had the means to do anything about it, as Joshua has been poorly. I've done some basics, upped her pellet allowance (just give her extras here and there) and given her some porridge oats.

She's really skinny and boney and I just weighed her at 1.3Kg's :( That means she's lost over 400g, that's considerable.

Vets as soon as I can.
 
Oh no, poor little Ginger :( how difficult with your son being poorly too, I hope he's feeling better soon :( good luck for Ginger at the vets, I hope it's something easily sorted and nothing too serious. thinking of you all xx
 
Poor Ginger. The same happened with Grim. He was on penicillin injections every three days and I upped it to every day and it's helped him loads. He was having trouble eating because he couldn't breathe very well. Just wondering if something similar would help Ginger?
 
Sending vibes for Ginger. I found oats and wholemeal bread helped my underweight buns put on a bit.
 
Hope Ginger will be alright. I know 400 grams is a lot, but Mr B lost 200 in less than a week and put it back on once he was well again. I hope Ginger can too, the heat won't be helping her to want to eat.
 
Poor Ginger. I was all too well aware of how bad the hot weather would have been for Artie if he ahd made it this far. He would have really struggled with the current weather.

I hope poor Ginger improves soon. She's a remarkable bunny, bless her :love:
