Just a little update on Sugar today.
She seems to be totally back to normal today She ran over to me this morning for her pellets, and has been nomming hay, and pooing fine...
I am so relieved I can't tell you.
I admire everyone on RU so much,who has poorly rabbits to deal with on a daily basis. Especially those of you who have more than one poorly rabbit at a time to deal with. Quite frankly I don't know how you do it. So hats off to you all.
Anyway now a few pics of Sugar & Tiger this morning........
This ones for you thumps_! & Thank you
She did as she was told. :lol:
And just because I know RU loves pictures
Tiger "Oh my godness, I'm so relieved my wifeys all better now!"
HAPPY 1ST GOTCHA DAY SUGAR I have had her 1 year today! And hopefully will have, for many more to come..........
Purplebumble.. I am so relieved Thank you. I did consider spending another night in the shed, but thought that they would be far more comfortable if I wasn't in there with them. So did a bit of pacing instead :lol:
helen 01 & honeybunny Thank you!

Helen. How is Lewis today? Thinking of him
Hey Lisa.
He's eaten a little and done a big pile of dark poos so he's moving it through. I've had him in the run and he's been doing binkies. I think that the movement of running around when a bunny has stasis does make a big difference to gut motility (depending on what the issue is of course). Anyway, he seems to be enjoying some runaround time so I'm gonna have a nap after a night up.
Thanks for asking
Great. I'm delighted.
Duchess I'd like to confirm your observation about the importance of excercise & gut slow down.
Obviously it's not appropriate for a very sick rabbit as you rightly say, but I find it incredibly important both in the very early stages when it can even avert a complete gut stop (ileus) & during recovery.
Thumper's gut is a mess with megacolon & resultant dysbiosis. Excercise is essential for him. He needs energetic running "around play" at least x3 daily & this always results in poops, which result in eating.
When he's not so good I split it into much shorter but more frequent periods.
Thank you for bringing this importnt aspect of care to our attention.
