:embarrassed:
Errr, yes, that's me!!!

Thanks everyone! yes, I'm so happy that she is just about her normal self now .
Shiloh, not too sure about the recommended weight, I should really look it up. But Skyler is just a youngster yet, so he probably has some weight to gain. i think it's just that Pernod has always been ' well built' that I worried about her being so thin now. But she has always eaten a lot, and used to even go through the rubbish bags looking for food :?. Perhaps with her being older, she may not want as much food (she's at least 6 1/2 years old.

I will let you know how our next vet visit goes

edited to add - I just did a search and ARBA weight for Dutch rabbits is between 3.5 and 5.5 lbs with 4.5 being the ideal

We don't go to the vet until Thursday, but I thought I'd let you know that the other night Pernod was found with her head in the pellet bag, stuffing her little face

. She isn't very hungry in the morning, but afternoons and evenings, she's eating like a little piggy. Hopefully, she will have put some weight back on (fingers crossed )

Hope Pernod is doing well. I just wanted to say that Dutch are fine weighing 4 pounds. I have a 3 1/2 pound buck. Anyways, you should keep in mind what Pernod's "healthy" weight was, you don't want her to loose too much. Have you tried to give her some oatmeal baby food (the Gerber kind that comes in a jar)? Oats are a good weigh to put on weight. Just don't overdo it, little at a time.

To me, she looks fine, doesn't look skinny. Glad to hear she is eating some.

Sharon, thank you so much for that - I'm pleased to know that 4lbs is OK. Pernod used to be 5.5 lbs, and did need to lose a little weight. I guess it's just because I got used to her being a ' solid' little girl .

She gets a few oats as a nightime treat, and laps them up now, although when she was really ill, she wouldn't look at them (one way I knew something was wrong). I have to say that she has ALL of her attitude back, and is in to everything again. I never thought i would say it, but it's a relief to have the Diva in her back to normal

I was going to respond to the question about Dutch weight, and then I saw this. Luna only feels like she is seven pounds (she isa big-bottomed girl). She is actually a tiny bit over 5 pounds, but should not gain any more weight. I think Patrick is about 4.5 pounds, but don't quote me on that. He is a bit more trim than Luna, but he tends to cruise around the house a bit more. I hope this helps...

Dr. Goble is pleased with Pernods progress.

[Pet_Bunny]

A little touchy here.

 

[Pet_Bunny]

Jan is so pleased. Pernod is not, because ...

 

[Pet_Bunny]
