Awww Lulu the cold and snow makes my arthritis bad too! Hang in there sweetheart 💞
Have you tried liquid herbal tinctures for her?? (Alcohol FREE)
Lulu is so cute I have my own rabbit named shadow she is a mini Rex I’m thirteen years old I love her to the moon and back
This will be super helpful. My bunny broke her leg and had to undergo surgery to get it fixed, she now has plates and has recovered really well. But my vet and I have talked about the increased chance that she has to get arthritis in her leg because of the surgery and the plates inside, so I want to be as educated as possible to help her if she ever starts struggling
Hi dear, I have Lulu too but my Lulu is Holland lop. I don’t know is it a different care but I don’t think so. Anyway my Lulu is 6 years old and we just find out that she have arthritis too, she got meloxicam 15 mg, my bunny 🐰 don’t like medication and my husband and me have lots a trouble to give her.I like to watch your videos.❤️👍
My rabbit doesn't like taking her meds either so I just put a little at a time in a apple and feed it to her
Super excited to see this ❤️ I just recently adopted a 5 year old bunny who is VERY overweight, and I can tell it has put a lot of stress on his joints. I’m going to keep these tips in mind as I work with my vet on getting his mobility back :)
?? How does red (or Any Light) goes through the furr of the rabbit?!?!
Great video ! With one of my bunnies turning 8 years old in the new year, I will definitely be keeping an eye out for arthritis. This video was so helpful ☺️
Aaila happy new year to you to. I have an adopted bunny and I don’t really know her age either, bunnies are the best though, no matter what age ☺️
Lulu does such a good job at taking her meds
OMG😂 I take the same meds (meloxicam) as Lulu
One of my bunny’s has arthritis and we got some medicine ❤️
My little bunny passed away 2 weeks today. I got him 18 months ago from a rescue centre. He was approx 6 years old but came with so many health issues. Unfortunately he had his incisors rasped and went down hill from there as had multiple heart attacks. I’m gutted but will have more bunnies but not yet. Love vlogs-really helpful
:(
How much dosage do you give per day to your rabbit of that Meloxicam?
Alright so how do we get Adequan in the UK? Can we give it to them ourselves? I'm so worried about my 11 year old bun, his arthritis is bad right now, we have only tried Metacam and Oxbow joint support so far.
I love how much you care about your animals. I don't have rabbits, but Lulu seems to love and trust you so much. Thanks for sharing. You are beautiful inside and out :D
I wish I now this my chocolate just die from this he was 10 and a half year old. Thanks so much. Chocolate had a great life with me. How old is our bunny.
Lulu died
Just got my bun back from the vet. He’s 12 and it has finally caught up to him! Thanks so much for all of your videos. He is also on Metacam and I sincerely hope this helps him be nice and comfy in his elderly years.
My rabbit just got diagnosed with arthritis today and I’m so happy I found this video, gives me hope that he won’t have to take meloxicam everyday for the rest of his life.
I watched this even tho I know what and how to treat it because my bun has it though he doesn't have it as bad as lulu. ❤️
thx for your great channel
Is it celsius at the bottom of your thermometer ? Because 34 to 40°, doesn't seem accurate at all
Otherwise love your videos and bunnies
I don't expect a reply. But I am desperate and need some advice. I've watched your videos for a long time and hope you can help.
My beautiful little bunny coco passed away yesterday at the age of 7 amd a half years. She was a medium lop breed.
I've had many bouts of bloat and stasis with her and she was not showing any of these symptoms.
She had the same pellet feed since 12 weeks of age and loved it. Around 3 weeks ago she stopped eating her pellets. I immediately assumed stasis or bloat but she was still regularly munching on her hay and Seagrass house. I upped her hay intake and kept trying to invite her with her favourite leaves etc but she just wasn't interested.
Like I say this has been going on for 3 weeks. I've just had a c section and have a 14 month old and a 5 week old so I've been heavily preoccupied looking after the babies. But I have been keeping a very close eye on her.
She was still pooping up until the end. It was decreased in the amount but still a normal size and not concerning.
In the last week before she died she was acting out of the ordinary. She never really bothered with my son playing around her (she was kept in a 2m by 2m pen) then all of a sudden everytime he went near her pen. She was darting towards him. Or she would constantly want to be let out after almost 2 years of living in the pen and being perfectly happy. She started chewing the flooring of the pen. The last day or 2 before she passed, she would have random bouts of running around her pen. Which didn't seem out of the norm either. Also on Sunday she kept sort of wedging herself between things like the pen fence and her tray. Almost like she was trying to hide away. Yesterday morning she was running around all through the night and all morning then just went to her litter box. Layed flat with her head pressed into the hay.
Due to me caring for my 2 babies I didn't see to her straight away (had i known she was dying i wouldn't have lefther side 😭) in the mid afternoon when my partner got home from work I told him to watch the babies whilst i sorted coco out. My first port of call was to entice her with her favourite leafs. I put them next to her and she didn't even react. I knew immediately something was seriously wrong. I stroked her head and it almost flopped but she was still conscious and moved it back. There was hay on her actual eyeball and she wasn't even reacting to it. I tried to wipe it out amd just knew she was dying. I sat and stroked her in her favourite place and told her how much i loved her and how sorry I was I didn't do more. Minutes later she passed 😭😭😭😭 there was no scream. No seizure. Nothing. She layed quietly. I stroked and loved her and sort of rolled to her side and took her last breath.
I haven't stopped crying since yesterday. I absolutely feel guilty as hell. I didn't know she was dying and if I did I would of scooped her up and just cuddled and kissed her till she went. I feel like I could have done more. But I left her there for hours as I was so busy with the babies and she was dying the whole time 😢😢😢
My question is. Do you think she died of old age?
Like I say there was no signs of any ill health right up until the end. Her teeth were fine. She wasn't suffering from stasis or bloat. She didn't seem in any pain when she passed. What on earth caused her death??
Do you think she knew how much I loved her and she was at peace?
Please I hope you reply to me. I am desperate for answers
I prefer to use oral glucosamine in the form of horse supplements measured out for my rabbits weight. I add it to my rabbits daily pellets.
I use the dumor brand from tractor supply.
My rabbit is a double recessive astrix rabbit. (Mr. Bigglesworth) when he was younger he didnt get what he needed because he is smaller.
One of the reasons i believe this person has issues with her rabbits is because she doesn't feed pellets. Lulu isn't really that old. She is a dutch mix. Hearing her talk about her other rabbits also comferms my suspicions as well.
Pls help me, our rabbit got attacked by our dog and can't move her legs. We don't have a vet closeby that specializes in rabbits. What should I do? pls help. Thank you.
Love your videos 🥰
I was waiting for this video soooo long because I have a bunny with arthritis and he is turning 10 years this week ! thanks for the tips I will definitely try these :3
Thank you so much 😭 I've been so concerned about my baby honey bunny.. I look fwd to keeping him healthy & happy with all of these tips you use for lulu xo.
Can you please attach the link for the red light. Did you say it was aqueon?
?? How does red (or Any Light) goes through the furr of the rabbit?!?!

Can I do Infrared Light Therapy with my massager ?
What kind of rabbit was lulu I think I have the same rabbit
Great video
So helpful
World's best bunny mom.
LULU SO CUTE!
My friend recently got a bunny (after meeting mine) and I recommended your channel to her. (She’s doing great at taking care of him!) You’ve given me lots of helpful information on caring for my own bunny!
I really love your channel. I appreciate everything I’ve learned and thank you for keeping it going. :)
THANK YOU! My little one is thankful
Wonderful!
101 rabbits my room is a little colder in the winter time should i be putting a heater in my room to make my room warmer for my arthritic bun? Also do i need to consult my vet with the laser therapy?a
Heat definitely helps my bunny!! I have a electric fireplace I turn on near him that he loves. You really have to be careful about overheating so consult with your vet about what temperature is right for your bun!
I also have a question - have you tried the Oxbow joint supplement tabs? I’ve heard great things and want to try them with my buns but I am curious if you have used them for Lulu!
I have not. Lulu gets extremely sick from processed food and has previously gotten sick from other oxbow supplements. That’s why I no longer give processed food. However, oral glucosamine supplements are definitely an option for some rabbits! I’ve heard the myristol glucosamine supplements are supposed to be good
Please please respond.
I have 2 Male un-neutered 10 month old rabbits. They are dwarf lionheads. I got them a new cage today and they will not stop fighting. They used to get along but I'm thinking they are fighting because of dominance problems? I cant afford to get them neutered or to get a second cage. I really really want to keep them because I love them so much but I might have to sell one. Could you please make a video on how to sell a bunny safely? I want him to go to a good home but I don't know how. I just cant believe they started fighting and I cant choose which one to keep I love them too much. And if you have an idea on how to keep them from fighting or why they might be fighting, please respond.
You are very irresponsible you should be ashamed 👿. Fined a good rescue and give both away because they need to be neutered if you don't have money you shouldn't have pets rabbits cost thousands of dollars every year
Two bunnies fighting who are unneutered is perfectly normal even if they were fine like 6 months ago or something since their hormones are kicking in. Don’t sell your rabbit but give them to an animal shelter to be adopted on
@@tyler-d9974 You don’t actually know this persons situation or how these bunnies came into their care. Even with my first rabbits, they weren’t neutered and actually fought. They both had to be separated. I wasn’t knowledgeable and it’s the same for this person. Don’t judge. Educate
Haley, this is an EXCELLENT video! So good that I’m going to share it with my Facebook rabbit group!
One question: When I used Adequan on my cats, I was told by the vet to inject the medication into the hip area. Has your vet told you this is not necessary to be effective? If so, this is wonderful news! (I always used insulin syringes because their needles are super thin and comfy, which was especially important when injecting in the hip area.)
My vet taught me to do it under the neck and it has been very effective! I do not know if it is different with cats, but I will be asking my vet about this!
Has red light therapy made a significant difference for Lulu? I'm thinking of purchasing one (and asking my vet about Adequan), as metacam isn't 100% helping with my rabbit's pain.
Can bunnies get arthritis when they are three years old? My bunny is three, and it's kind of hard for him to stand on his back legs, groom himself, hard to stand up, falls over a lot, and it's kind of hard for him to lay down too. We took him to the vet, because he has had some knee injuries, but they said they are old ones and should be getting better soon. They gave us some medicine to give him, but he is still struggling with walking and standing.
Aww that's too bad. I love rabbits but I don't have any your channel is awesome!
Your video was super helpful! Thank you so much for sharing this info!
Great informative video! My rabbit Angel is going to turn seven tomorrow and I'm going to need to use some of these tips because he's getting older. Love your videos! 💕🐰
Informative i hope Lulu is doing much better ♥️😍
Your bunny is so chilled out, what are your thoughts on using far infrared to treat arthritis?
What are the temperatures that a bunny should be living in?
My bunny is getting older thank you for the video
Hi early squad I love u so much and u helped me a lot with my bunnies
3:19
Lulu: im gonna eat this willow toy
Quisiera fuera en Español este canal 😭💔
So helpful, thank you!
I have a bunny named Lulu too ;D
lol i used to take meloxicam just like lulu!
My 7 year old rabbit just started to not use his back legs really, mostly the right one. He kind of hops on the left one some times. I have called several vets in my area and none of them treat rabbits so I'm not sure what to do for him. Any advice?
You need to go to the Vets
What does it mean if my rabbit sometimes just falls over while grooming itself but that's the only sign so please answer me back I'm worried and want to make sure my rabbits okay
That means arthritis
RIP LULU🐰💜
Oh! So sweet!
Hi
Thank you for another great video...what about a low heat heating pad...
That is definitely an option that many people have used! However, Lulu's warm room helps her perfectly so I didn't need to add a heat pad. But definitely an option!
I'm not sure if this was mentioned, but how old was Lulu when she started showing symptoms? I know it varies in rabbits, but my lionhead is 9 years old and I want to be prepared.
Definitely depends on the bunny. Lulu started showing signs at about 8.5 years old.
@@101rabbits Thank you, your video helps me a lot in knowing what to look for. I wish you and your bunnies well 💕 and have a happy New year!
What is arthritis
Watch the video 🙄
joint pain
In their natural environment rabbits are eaten within two years. If a rabbit needs so much medicine it is clearly time to eat and replace the rabbit.
Women who waste their affection and time on pets instead of adopting a man sould not be surprised if men developed aberrant behaviour due to loneliness.
ummm what?
