Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.
We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.
Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.
She has started leaving a solitary normal poop on the landing. I've been moving this but it is soon replaced by one more. So my question is are these solitary poops helping to guide her from room to room? I hope not as they are hard not to pick up
Well my thought is that if it is deliberate, you have to marvel at Boo for being able to control the placement of just one solitary poop.
trying to find fun things for her to do that are safe. current fave kicking tissue paper out of a box . Little video - sorry I failed to rotate it to correct view https://imgur.com/8v3ohk9
That sounds awful. Could it have been a pain response rather than something in her head?
Big hugs to all at Trawden Warren, poor Boo No definite answers but some thoughts: smell of something, maybe fireworks? Lopsy (also mostly deaf, only reliably hears prolonged bass tones) has a fabulous sense of smell, moreso than any of my hearing bunnies ever have had. He can smell banana sometimes as soon as I've stepped out the door even if the wind's in the wrong direction; OK sometimes not but there's not hiding the Give Me Banana behaviour when it does happen.
Poor Boo I've always understood that sort of behaviour in rabbits to be fear. Were you having loud bangs from fireworks and are you absolutely sure that she has NO hearing? If she couldn't actually hear bangs, is it possible she could feel vibrations? And if so, I imagine that must be super scary if you can't hear or see very well.
I'm very pleased that she's back to normal now, but it would be good to know what the cause was.
Absolutely no fireworks here last night, early evening I could hear a few but they were miles & miles away. Nothing new smell wise either. Her diet was normal & she was fine until she switched. Thank You for the hugs
