        So it could just be because she just ate but it seems like my bunny luxs under tummy is a little bigger then normal. Her left side seemed bigger this morning but that’s gone. I was massaging her belly today and heard a little squeak. Don’t know if it was a fart or her making the noise. Gosh dang it I’m so paranoid due to what happened to poppy.

          It’s not possible for someone who isn’t there to say if her tummy looks too big. As long as it’s soft and squishy and she lets you massage it there doesn’t seem to be much wrong. You can give more massages, monitor poop and food intake + activity level, but there is really nothing else you can do to ensure that she’s ok. I do see that you are super stressed about what happened to Poppy, but as long as you take care of little Lux as best you can, the rest is in the hands of God if you like, just as all of us are. There’s only so much a human can do. Which is scary but also something all of us must accept.

            Agreed. I worry about mine ALL the time. I stress out about every little thing he does. I google everything. Every sneeze, every twitch, every head shake has me in panic mode. In the end, all you can do is do the best you can, like Bam said.

              my one rabbit had bloating in the tummy for a bit. it could just be gas, which massaging the tummy will take care of, but if she seems sluggish or is not acting like her normal self i would say take her to the vet just in case it’s a blockage in her tummy like my buster had. though, the fact that she’s letting you touch her tummy is a good sign. i would say just keep an eye on her for a few days just in case.

                Giving her a bit of medicine for gas would be a reasonable precaution. Call her vet and ask for the correct dosage for her of simethicone.
