Tiny Paws Rabbit Rescue

Frosty's favourite toy- a box of Kleenex 😂

She's very resourceful and has simple tastes, no need for expensive pet store toys 😜.

Our area was impacted by a tornado and heavy storm damage yesterday. Thankfully our foster bunnies are all indoors, and safe and sound. 💜
Miso, is showing off what's known as the loaf pose 🍞. How did he do??
This sweet boy is unbelievably STILL waiting for his forever home, as he approaches his 3rd year in rescue 😭
He's sweet as can be, and the perfect free roaming bun! Check out his full bio on our website.

Winx had her blood retested this morning, and I'm very happy to report that everything is normal! 💗 She's eating well on her own, and is back to her happy, energetic, sweet self!

Hi friends! 💗
I'm feeling much better now.
I'm eating, pooping lots and I'm not so sleepy anymore.

The blind Babies and I were back at our vet clinic this morning, but this time for Winx.

Yesterday Blinx spent the day getting a few tests done. She had her recheck under gas anesthesia to see if her broken tooth was healing up okay. And thankfully it grew back without any concerns. She also had blood work to rule out any issues, and x-rays too. At the time of the x-ray Blinx was actually feeling great, and eating well. I was surprised to see how much gas she had! On the days that she tells me she has an ouchy stomach, it must be even worse 🥺. See attached x-ray, the dark shadows in the abdomen are gas bubbles.

All of Blinx's test results were good. So I'm guessing she's just getting a lot of gas pains, maybe she eats too fast?? She's definitely the wild twin, it's possible that's what's happening.

Unfortunately Winx continued to decline throughout the day and this morning she had blood work. I had concerns that her e cuniculi was flaring up causing kidney strain. Her kidney values are elevated and she's showing an immune response indicating inflammation, again likely due to her previous e cuniculi diagnosis. I also requested a new e.c. titer to confirm, but those results will take some time to return.

Winx is getting fluid therapy for a few days, antibiotics to battle the infection and I'll continue with syringe feeding until she's eating enough on her own. Today she is already starting to perk up, so I'm optimistic. Next week we will recheck her blood. 🤞🏼💜

Miss Phoebe had her check up with Dr. Kate this morning. All guinea pigs should have regular dental exams. Their teeth continuously grow and sometimes as they age their teeth can shift causing tongue entrapment.

Sadly we've had a few senior pigs develop malocclusion causing their little tongues to be trapped under their molars.
Thankfully, Phoebe is doing fantastic. Teeth are perfect and she's actually increased in weight. She is getting an anti-inflammatory to help with her arthritis but otherwise no concerns! 💗

Guinea pigs should be weighed weekly and any significant decrease in weight should be investigated. These little guys tank quickly. Always offer lots of fresh hay, quality pellets, fresh veggies and a vitamin C supplement.

Blinx, blind baby number 1, is staying at the clinic to have her weird broken molar rechecked under anesthesia. I've also requested a few other diagnostics to make sure we aren't missing anything. We will run blood work and get full body x-rays. Pending those results we may run a few other tests. She's just not herself and I'm struggling to figure out what's bothering her. Hopefully I'm just being extra cautious and everything will be just fine 🤞🏼

And of course her sister Winx, is feeling dumpy today too. So I've scheduled her for a dental, as we know she's really sensitive about any minor teeth changes. These girls !!😵‍💫💜

Please join me in wishing our resident piggy Miss Phoebe a very Happy Birthday! 🎈🎂❤️.
Phoebes is 7 today! 🎉
