Oh poor Casper, hope having his spurs sorted will help his poops too, sending lots of vibes for your boy ❤️
 
Lots of vibes for your wee brave boy. I'm pleased you've a plan in place & its really good you've had a thorough conversation with your vet. Everything crossed the dental sorts things out. I can almost picture Casper smiling when the greens came back

Thank you, too, j&b. He started eating his greens right away. ❤️
 
Oh poor little Casper! So sorry to hear he has a sore tummy. I really hope you have found the cause of his musus-y poops now a Reader of Books. Although handsome Casper has to go for a dental (Mischief doesn't like them much either) it will sort out the tummy issue hopefully and also means he won't have a sore mouth and trouble chewing his food either.

We are sending you loads of nose bumps and good vibes for the vets later this week brave Casper. And nose bumps to Sophie too! It affects them both when one of them is not themselves doesn't it? You're doing great a Reader of Books. I know how stressful it is when one of our bunnies is poorly. I hope you are also now able to sleep well and look after yourself too x

Thank you so much for your kind words and nose bumps and vibes (and for your very kind PMs as well), Tigz. Casper had his dental yesterday and it went well. We even got to pick them up early because he had recovered so quickly. He's been doing really well. ❤️ And there were no mucus poops at all this morning, so I'm hoping the dental has made everything better.
 
So pleased it looks like the dental has resolved Caspers poop issues without having to mess about with his honey drugs & greens 😍

Oh that's fantastic news that Casper came home early😁💙 I had a nightmare day but I was thinking of him all day wondering how he is getting on. Really hope this is the culprit for his mucusy poops.

How is he getting on tonight? Has he been eating at all? Nose bumps to you and your gang and special one to Casper ❤️

Thank you! I'm very glad he can keep eating his greens and taking his Metacam, too. 😊

That's really kind of you to think of Casper even though you had such a awful day. I really hope this was the culprit, too!

He's doing really well. He's eating lots. He started eating after his dental really quickly, so he never stopped eating. Thank you for the nose bumps for Casper and Sophie and the fist bump for me. 🤣

It is great to learn Casper did so well with his dental that he and Sophie go an early release.😀
I hope the dental resolves the mucus in his poos.
Aw, thank you, too, bunny momma. No mucus poops today, either, so it's looking very positive!
