While Lucy & Mina hate baths, my angel Buddy loved a warm bath. He had a
very mild case of bumblefoot and we prepared a bath with some epsom salt.
Buddy squatted down in the warm water and I swear I heard him say "ahh". He was
so relaxed he pooped in his bathwater.
I have a 7.5 year old bunny with stiff joints. My vet recently put her on
Metacam (meloxicam). With most piggies it is very easy to syringe in but they
have a new honey flavored formula that you just drip on greens. It's very
mild and can be used long-term and reduced inflammation, which causes pain in
joints.

"It doesn't matter what the kids say. Rabbits are not disposable like a box
of cereal or a Disney video. They WILL get tired of the rabbits and go on to
the next toy. YOU will have to deal with the consequences. Unfortunately,
most people deal with the situation by DUMPING their rabbits on someone else.
Ultimately, it is the bunny that pays for your inability to say NO."
