First - THANK YOU to everyone who left here or on Facebook, such wonderful positive thoughts and prayers for a speedily recovered rabbit! We are keeping positive that he will pull through this bout.
Figuring that I am crazier than most, including the super staff at the veterinary hospital (meaning they might not have quite as many flavors as we stock), I decided to pack a "to go" selection of hays for Bunya. He is on the hay-only diet for maximum fiber flow-through, to break down the mass in his stomach. I thought Bunya might eat more if the flavors were varied. (As I look at the picture now, I am glad I was not stopped by a policeman ... the hay was just sitting on the passenger seat on the way to the vet.)

They let me visit with Mr. Bunya. He just rested on my chest (okay - stomach) and I skritched his ears, head and jaw (he loves that). He just closed his eyes and we sat there for 20 minutes or so.
Poop production is "small". Need to get the engines back up to speed.
They will x-ray him again Friday and we'll see if the mass is breaking down.
Thank you all again for your wonderful well wishes for him.
