I kind of just want to vent, because I hate seeing my Frankie-bun in pain. He didn't get into anything weird for once, but I can tell he is having some painful digestion. Won't eat or drink (not even pellets or treats). Not grinding his teeth, but I can tell from how he's acting that it is his digestive gases. Poor thing. I was willing to come out of hiding finally and was able to pass a few poops, but I can tell he's sooo uncomfortable. Keeps peeing a little on accident because of it. Sigh. I'll be up fussing over him until I see him eat or drink. At least it gives me time to upload some pics I've been meaning to share for over a month now!

I'm sorry he isn't feeling well. Might think about what he ate before, or within the previous 24 hrs. since it may be a certain green that he has trouble with. Some bunnies can't do the cabbage-type lettuces like romaine, or others. Never know what gives us or them gas.

Might try a bit of tummy massage, or some simethicone. Very glad he is pooping though. If it lasts into today, consider having a vet check for something more pervasive.

He finally ate at 2 am, but I didn't get much sleep because of it.

Poor Frankie. I hope he is back to himself by now. And I hope you've gotten some rest...I know this feeling all too well! >.<
I've noticed of late, since I am still keeping my night owl schedule and Mimzy is getting up with the sun (about 6 or 7 AM...urgh) that he gets very impatient for his pen to be cleaned and tends to have eaten all his hay by then that I packed in there during the night. Then I start to see tinier poos (and less) and he seems uncomfortable more often.
I think his tummy has been getting irritated simply by my not getting his food to him on his schedule.
Does Frankie have regular food times? I think sometimes that has a big deal to do with how they digest.
Mimzy, Pip & Fiver...yup...my day is all about them. :)

How's Frankie today?

MM, you need to just shove a handful of hay between the bars at Mimzy the minute he wakes you up, then roll over and go back to sleep.

He is back to normal thankfully. He has been a loner today, though.

He does have a relatively normal feeding schedule, but sometimes I suck at keeping to it. He gets a salad at 10 am and 9pm. Then pellets when I go to bed. And hay throughout the day, of course.

Sounds about like my schedule too. (minus the pellets) Unless of course I'm on here in the eves, then I can hear things being thrown in the bunny room as my lords and masters start feeling time is passing and they aren't getting any younger. >.<

I do toss the hay in there, Pam...he wolfs it down and then within the hour he wants his box changed....I'm looking into painting my bedroom window black. ~_~ (should've listed Mimz in the diva thread after all)

But it's good to hear that Frankie is improving. Poor little guy. Any idea what might have caused all this?
