Is Nutristat the same thing as Nutrical? I called a nearby petstore and that was all they had.

Oh thank you Jim! I am going to look for it today, I have a couple pet stores nearby including Pet Smart, so maybe I can find the NutriCal there. Is it a liquid formula?

It sounds like I definitely need a smaller syringe, because I have a huge one with a long tip, but maybe that's uncomfortable for her to have in her mouth.

Randy, do you have any suggestions to hydrating at home if I have a hard time getting fluids in her via syringe? I can't do IV or sub-q at home, so I need some help figuring this out. As I metioned I am getting the syringe in there through the side of her mouth behind her front teeth, but when...

Is Nutrical similar to Critical Care? I believe my vet has Critical Care, I will ask him when he calls me back if I can get some from them

Thank you Elrohwen, I will try that today. Do you ever have the issue of more food coming out of their mouth than in their mouth? I think I figured out how to get the syringe in there, but now the problem is that when I press down on it, some of it gets in her mouth, and the rest comes right...

I forgot to add, she does already drink from a bowl and not a bottle. Last night I marked the level of water to see if she had drank anything, and it was the same. I even left her one bowl with pedialyte and then one with water hoping she'd take from either one, but nothing =(. I just put in...

Well as I stated in my post, I did take her to the vet already and he gave her fluids via injection, he said he didn't feel any masses or obstructions. He asked me to just give her meds and try to syringe feed her for 2 days, and if she wasn't getting better to give him a call and perhaps we...

My Dori I believe has GI Stasis. She hasn't eaten for over a day now. I took her to the vet yesterday because I was worried, they gave her subcue fluids and some motility meds to help stuff to get moving along. They also gave her a shot of the motility stuff in the vet's office. He told me to...

I just wanted to post a picture of my Enkei's injury all stitched up :(

Hello, I just wanted to give an update. I took them both to the vet, and Dori was fine, but Enkei needed a little surgical procedure. He had to be put under that the vet sutured up his eyelid. He should be healed up in about 2 weeks...my poor baby :(. I talked to the director of the...

Thank you. I am home now. It looks like Enkei's right eye on the top, the edge of his eyelid was split. It's not bleeding, but its red. The vet said he can see them at 3pm, so I'm going to be heading out in about 20 minutes. For now it looks like they will be taking a step backward. I...

My husband just called! There was another fight but now there is an injury, he said there is a cut above Enkeis eye. :(, I feel like a terrible bunny mom :(, I'm rushing home from work right now to take them both to the vet. After so many months of hard work I'm feeling so upset and devastated...

I honestly don't know why she mounts him. It's just random, sometimes they'll just be cuddling, and grooming, and she'll just slowly get on top of him. It's not always at a certain time or in a certain location. This really seems to be their only problem. I mean they are completely fine in...

Well there is a barrier I can put in their cage. When I was bonding them the big cage was split in half with a barrier in between them. So I can put that back up while I'm out, and I think that's what I will do until I can work this out. Brandy456 wrote:

Well I know that Dori's mounting has a lot to do with it, that seems to be a big trigger if not the main one. She mounts him, he gets really upset and the tiff begins. I don't know how to stop her from mounting him though :(

Thank you everyone for your advice! The first thing I'm going to do is set up an appointment with the vet to have them fully checked over. I'm also going to contact the person at the House Rabbit Society where I adopted Enkei. She is the one that helped me along the bonding process, and I...

Brandy456 wrote: Yea both of them are fixed. However, ever since Enkei joined us and we began the bonding process a long while back, Dori the female has a bad habit of mounting Enkei, the boy. Now that they are bonded she still does this sometimes, and he gets really irritated, so I'm having a...

I LOVE your wire cage thing on top of the litter box! What type of wire is that, where did you get it? I always hate the idea of the buns eating the hay the poop and pee on. I have LARGE litter boxes for them, so I hadn't really found a way to do something like this. I think I might wanna give...

So, Dori and Enkei fully bonded back in March. They have been living together in the same cage since then. They have had a couple fights since then inside their cage, but nothing big (that I know of), although I did have to separate them once. A couple of times when they were roaming the...
