Way back when, I wrote a thread on house rabbits, and how they're different because they are prey animals, not predators like cats and dogs. That thread starts here: https://mindly.social/@cazabon/109882459730036423
One thing I didn't mention is that, like many other prey animals, they are extremely good at hiding health problems. You've heard how the jackals will separate the weak or sick member from the herd; prey animals evolve to disguise being sick or weak.
#Lena, who I've written about, suddenly showed signs of #pain yesterday - rapid #breathing, hunched #posture, little interest in #food. I couldn't find anyone who would look at her yesterday, but had her at our #vet this morning. It turns out the delay didn't change anything.
She was in congestive #heart failure. Clearly this is something that doesn't happen overnight, but she seemed literally 100% fine the day before. She was given hours, not days, by the vet.
A couple years ago my back got really bad. It had been getting worse over the years, and it got to the point that I couldn't even walk. I'd fall down because the pain was so bad-- all the way down my leg. Never felt anything like it. I went to this pain place (Pain Stop here in Phoenix) and they have an on-site chiropractor and physical therapy both, both of which I used for months. Turns out, I had gotten sciatica really bad, and I had to get the back injections (they also refer out there to the place across the hall) along with the other stuff.
I also try to incorporate yoga into my days now, and I use one of these kneeling chairs. I love it, and I can't say enough good things about it. My wife thinks it's the weirdest thing ever. 😂 It took a TINY bit of getting used to, but not much, at least for me. Makes you sit up straighter, you get up and move more, it's fantastic. Highly recommend if you have back issues. Sitting on a chair with all your torso's weight on your tailbone all day is NOT good for you.
