My rabbit was diagnosed with kidney failure, gallbladder damage, gastric impaction, and cecal bloating, can it be treated
The rabbit's condition is very severe with multiple organ complications, so the recovery rate is low. Follow the vet's advice and treat actively; if there is no improvement within three days, the prognosis is poor.
Appetite dropped from the day before yesterday; eats little hay and pellets, little water. Yesterday I gave water with lactic acid bacteria; today it drinks more but still little hay/pellets. Small, black droppings; today more than yesterday. No bloat or impaction, belly soft. Activity normal, lots of shedding, given hairball paste.
Small black droppings and low appetite suggest constipation or hairballs, often from low water intake. Increase water and feed high-fiber timothy or rye grass to aid gut movement and passage.
My parrot has crop impaction and can’t pass it; making it vomit didn’t work either.
For mild crop impaction in a baby parrot, try bird probiotics and warm water with gentle crop massage. If severe with bloating, use a tube to the crop to suction out food. Withhold food, give gut medicine, then offer warm water after a few hours.

How to Express a Dog’s Anal Glands, and Why It Matters
A dog's anal glands need regular expression to avoid impaction and infection. They empty naturally during firm bowel movements, but chronic soft stool lets fluid build up and the glands become sore or rupture — so owners should express them about once a month.
Dietary Don’ts for Beveren Rabbits
Beverens are herbivores that thrive on hay and pelleted feed — never human food. The key mistakes are abrupt feed changes, irregular roughage (which can cause cecal impaction), and a single unbalanced feed; aim for timed meals and a measured nutrient mix.
Why Rabbits Lose Fur
Rabbit fur loss usually points to poor nutrition, mange mites, ringworm, or bacterial skin disease — each with its own treatment, from mineral supplements to antiparasitics and antifungals. Clear away loose fur and check feed for trapped hair so the rabbit doesn't swallow it.
