Poor Flopsy!

So tonight we have the ever-so-fun task of giving our large bunny an injection and if he doesn't eat anything by the time we get home we get to force-feed him too. Whee fun!

I took him to the vet on Monday and B took him yesterday and today. It looks like I'm bringing him on day 4 unless he makes some serious progress tonight :/

Poor little guy, please send him hugs:

tons of good healthy happy bunny vibes to him!!!!! (hug) I know how you feel- well, not with a bunny as large as the flopster, but...

You're a wonderful bunny mom!

Thanks!

I don't really think I'm a wonderful bunny Mom . . . just one doing my job :) I think its ludicrous for people to own pets and not take care of them properly (which, is how we actually ended up with Flopsy in the first place, rescuing him from my Aunt).

B called from home after dropping him off and switching him to his old favorite (but more fatty) brand of food and he's started to eat the pellets a bit. So that's a good sign. I'm REALLY hoping that we don't need to experience what force-feeding a bun is like. I know it may be necessary but I'd like to avoid it :)

He lost 1/2 a pound though! That's an accomplishment (now he's only 8 1/4 pounds).

I completely, enthusiastically, and wholeheartedly endorse
American Pet Diner's Timothy Hay Pellets. Sooooooo good for bunnies and extra high in fiber since they're made with hay in them. They're like, the cream of the crop =)

Huggles!!!
