🐰 SENIOR BUNNY WITH LAMENESS MEETS THE ANIMAL CRACKER 🐾

[@Umbralagus]

Dr. Doug THANK YOU for making this video! My Furler🐇 is 10 years old and for several months now has been leaning heavily to his right while resting like Mello (though not with the severe lower body issues). As a 10+ year chiropractic patient myself, I love that you explained all the adjustments and contacts you made for Mello. And that you're so gentle with such delicate creatures. Mello's videos gave me clues as to what might be causing Furler his pain. He stretches his right arm all the way forward while lounging on the floor and resists me pushing his arm back underneath his body. 😢 After watching, I felt around Furler's neck and shoulder region for knots and tightness (he loves massages along his spine). Somewhere under his left scapula we felt and heard a sharp click (😬unintentional; he twitched slightly and then immediately relaxed). Then he gave me kisses too. 💕 Furler and Mello are kindred spirits. If you were in south Texas Furler and I would come to see you in a heartbeat! 🙏 Please continue to make rabbit videos whenever you're able! They would be such a blessing to the house rabbit community. *Subscribed*

[@heatherburrell]

Rabbits can live up to 10 plus years, but often get hip and leg problems in older age. Watching you work on Mellow, you can see him starting to groom when you adjust some points, but I love that when you fed him the pellets, he licked your hand! This is a huge sign of trust, you're already his friend, he looks so relaxed with you. Feel better, little bun, you are so sweet ❤

Thank you and the owner for caring for this beautiful bun!! I have 2 cats right now, but I'm a bunny person at heart. Loved watching this. I appreciate senior pers very much.... ❤❤❤❤😂

[@katherinelinkous6249]

What a relaxing video, with muted voice and gentle adjustments. I feel like I'm typing in whispers. Mello, I hope you feel well enough soon to do binkies again. You did a fine job letting Dr. Doug for on you even if it got tender. Blessings on you sweet bunny, get stronger soon! 🐇🍓🌻

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Haha! typing in whispers that’s a good one. Thanks for the blessings Katherine.

Love the way you talk so softly and gentle to Mellow. He is so relaxed. I do hope that Mellow can get around better. He deserves A small matchstick carrot or small lettuce piece.. Good job Dr.W.

Thank you Audra, he got I think all what he needed, kisses, adjustments, massages, kisses again, pellets and cuddles…thanks for watching.

[@bethhutchins5657]

Aw Dr Doug your are so sweet. Mellow was responsive to his treatment. He was licking his front feet. Couldn't you just sit there all day kissing his head like a little baby. Thanks for all you do for the animals Dr Doug ❤

These are really addictive to watch! Love the goat with the badly twisted neck, and the pig with the attitude, and that little cheweenie was also dear. Now the bunny is learning chiropractic and giving you kisses!!

[@vickieturner8688]

Mello sure is a handsome little guy. I do hope that he's feeling better after his gentle massage. I didn't know that rabbits would live so long. Please tell his Mom that we appreciate her for bringing Mello in to get some relief. We are grateful for the opportunity to meet Mello! Thanks again, Doc, for your expertise to help this little one out! Have a wonderful week, everyone!

Hi Vickie! he is handsome, I hope we will see him again. The massages were good. Just such a cute bunny. Thanks Vickie for the support.

[@DipityS]

My wish would be that all the animals had a Doc to help them live with more comfort and mums and dads like the quality human beings who seek you out to help their bubs. Thank you, Doc, watching you be so gentle and soft with Mellow Bun was just lovely. I hope little Bun feels more comfortable and closer to his younger self after the session.

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

awww thank you DipityS you are so kind.

[@robingray5037]

Mello is such a sweet wabbit! Glad his family got him to you, Dr. Wilen. After the leg stretches, Mello and Ruby could compare notes. Someone else made this comment, and I agree: A Mello follow up would be awesome!

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

haha! a stretch competition between Ruby and Mello That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing Robin.

[@raraavis7782]

Arwh, poor little guy. I had two pet rabbits as a kid and one of them developed rear end lameness as an old man as well. Not sure, if we were ever told, what caused it (if so, I've forgotten), but we finally had to put him down. He would just struggle to try and get up and move about over and over again...it was really heartbreaking. He had a good, long life, roaming our large garden and terrorising the neighborhood cats, though. True story. He would just blithely hop up to them, as they were crossing through and they would inevitably flee in confusion 😅. Hope little Mellow got some relief from his session...I certainly enjoyed the ASMR like quality of you talking to him so softly!

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Thank you so much for sharing your story, that’s sad and awesome, I liked it and I appreciate it.

[@debbiepye1497]

Mello is looking, well, mellow! Dr. Doug, I don't think you would be at all surprised if Mello joined the verbal conversation with you. You are open to the experience that is Mello 🙏.

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Thank you Debbie, would be nice …😀

[@jeannedellapenna-conner4236]

This video was the sweetest part of my day! You and Mellow are too sweet! I was an animal care specialist/groomer for 20 years and this was what I lived for! Great job Doc. And I know the joy these days bring to your heart…it shows💕

I am amazed that Mello is such a rock stair chiro patient! WOW! Love your touch and energy, Dr. Willen, I have never seen a bun (a house rabbit) so relaxed while doing therapy! He let you hold him in a way that some buns don't even do with their own 'people'. Thank you so much for showing everyone how precious bunnies are!

Mello, you are so chill! Most rabbits don't like to be held. They like to be on the floor and in control if something attacks them. I bet you would even be chill without your disability! You are a very special rabbit. I hope you feel better after doc worked on you. Keep on hopping!

I find these animal chiropractors wonderful. My little bow bow I get scared bout her hips because she's a big booty bunny and I hear they start getting issues. And I hope when I finally find one I hope it will be a good one like this guy because when she meets anyone I liked how you handled her cause ALOT of people I feel think it's ok to jump to things with them and their sensitive. Hopefully once I find the right person to do hers in Jersey I just hope it will expand her life too. When my little girl does her binky hops is right when she knows her dad's not here so she gets to sleep in the bed with me she goes crazy. I wish he'd just let her cc sleep in bed every night I noticed it just makes her so much happier
