Firstly sorry I don’t post on here often. But I am hoping you lovely people might have some words of wisdom.
Our Netherlands dwarf x Rex is 11 years old (nearly 12) she is last of four rabbits. Now she is an only bunny she has become loving and affectionate ( she was evil to both her previous partners and the vet even agrees that Alex seems happier with human company lol)
So Alex is very arthritic now and gets very stiff. She is on metacam daily and has the whole garden to use as she pleases when she wants. Her indoor home ( 11ft by 16 ft summerhouse) has been modified to give easy access to everything and lots of blankets and sort bedding and loads of hay.
At the moment she looks terrible as she seems to be in a constant moult but we are worried about brushing her in case it hurts her. Also does anyone have suggestions of anything else we can do for her to keep her happy and comfortable in her later years. .... she comes in the house in the evening and hops from the sofa to my lap and falls fast asleep. She grooms me loads but no one else lol. She is so affectionate I want to do anything I can for her to make her life easier. Thanks in advance
