Reduced size of poos?

Thanks, I follow what you are saying. We didn't see Bertie's usual vet today so comparison with his previous visit was difficult (even with notes). At least I know from today that there is apparently no sign of soreness on tongue and cheek. Bertie is more co-operative with the otoscope than my late bunny, Spenser Milton!

Ah it sounds like your vet did a good job at investigating the spurs - I'm glad to hear there are no ulcers.
Good old Bertie, I hope he doesn't need a dental, but if he does he will be in good hands :)

Have you been stressed lately and he has picked up on it. These buns can be very sensitive.

I do suffer from anxiety, but this isn't new. I'm going to try and relax a bit more ... but this will be much easier once Bertie is back to his 20 + poo 'sittings'!

I hope that Bertie's output has started to improve overnight xx

Thanks for asking Jane. Output is still reduced I'm afraid. I'm to phone the vet tomorrow if no improvement. He is still eating well and behaving normally. He grooms an awful lot so I am dreading his moult!
 
Bertie's wee was a bit orangey overnight. Wonder if this is from the fibreplex and extra dried forage?
 
I'm pleased to report Bertie's output is much improved tonight. Not back to normal but much better than they have been for a few days.

Well done Bertie !! Keep those poos improving, we want nice big round ones, as many as possible.


PS, you could sell them on Ebay as 'natural plant fertiliser' .............. ! :thumb: :D

He's eating hay well so surely it won't be long before size and texture improve. You should have seen him gobble a fibreplex and spring green 'enchilada' last night!
 
I’m glad that things seem to be progressing well :thumb: he’s clearly a well looked after bunny :love:

I fear he may be just a little bit spoilt. He is not as fussy as Spenser was, but has his own ways of manipulating me.

:lol: after Frosty’s last dental, I referred to him as Prince Frosty of the high tower because I had to hand feed him an assortment of expensive herbs and vegetables bought especially for him, whilst he sat in his tower:lol:

After that, he wouldn’t eat hay unless I sat with him!
