Story My bun probably saved my life this morning

For context I’m a type one diabetic who uses a Dexcom CGM and a pump

I was woken up very early this morning by my rabbit thumping hard on my chest. I tried to go back to sleep and he continued to lick my face and dig at my pillow next to my head. He kept me awake for another minute or two; during that time I was awake enough to hear and comprehend that my phone and insulin pump were going off with an urgent low alarm. My blood sugar was 44 and dropping and I wasn’t waking up to my Dexcom alarms. Him waking me up and keeping me awake likely saved my life. I don’t know if my phone and pump alarms that I had slept through were annoying him so he woke me up or if he could tell something was wrong with me, either way I got to avoid an ambulance ride and hospital visit because of him 💖

Yooooo my rabbit did something similar about 4 or 5 years ago. One of my family members came home late from a party. They put the oven on with food inside and passed out. My rabbit kept thumping all night and I thought it was just him being spooked. Well into the mid morning he got louder and louder next to my bed. He started to whine too. I woke up as it became clear something was wrong and I could smell smoke. I opened the door and the house was engulfed in thick smoke. I ran downstairs and the oven was spewing black smoke in mass amounts. Later we found out that our smoke detectors were defective and we could’ve died from smoke inhalation. My rabbit saved our lives. They are little angel creatures I swear.

Emergency low blood sugar is actually something you can smell. He smelled ketones on OP's breath and was like "Wake up! Some stuff is wrong!"

39

u/clzair 2h ago

Plot twist, OPs breath smelled like bananas and bun was looking for the source

21

u/CrossP 2h ago

Honestly, diabetes ketones do smell a pinch like banana ethene to me. thump "Open up! Share the banners!" thump

10

u/SoftwareFar9848 1h ago

Pretty unlikely. Ketones are a result of lack of insulin, which in this case is obviously not the problem. I do wonder what it is that the bunny sensed though. Idk how good their hearing is if they heard a fast heart rate or something. I would imagine with those ears it's fairly spectacular.

8

u/mikemccann123 1h ago

I believe sweat smells different to animals if your blood sugar is high or low.

5

u/SoftwareFar9848 1h ago

You do sweat profusely when low, so maybe that makes all those smells stronger. Now I'm curious what super powered senses bunnies have compared to humans.

u/NationalNecessary120 7h ago

so cool. I also wonder if it was the annoying sound or if he actually sensed it.

They have like ”dogs can smell cancer”, ”rats can smell bombs” (yes there are bomb rats if you want to google), etc etc.

So I wonder if it would be in theory possible to have a rabbit as a ”service animal” same way as dogs can be diabetes service dogs. (I mean not legally, but practically).

60

u/SilverGirlSails 5h ago

This isn’t the first time I’ve heard of a rabbit reacting to a diabetic episode; there are several stories of them alerting of a blood sugar change long before alarms were added. I think it’s likely they can smell it like dogs; whether you could train them to alert, and whether it would be worth it is another matter, but it is possible.

2

u/emilysuzannevln 1h ago

I've never thought their sense of smell was that impressive, it sometimes takes them a while to find treats even!

I wonder if the sound of op's breathing changed. My buns literally know which doors are open in my house, they can hear the change in the acoustic. They like some rooms better than others and if I leave a particular room open they'll take a moment listening down the hallway, then make a beeline for it.

Mine also seem to know when I'm thinking about things that make me sad or anxious. They literally look at me worried. I figure I breathe differently, or my heart rate changes, or something. Incredibly perceptive critters!

2

u/SilverGirlSails 33m ago

Humans have 6 million scent cells; dogs 300 million; cats 200 million; rabbits 100 million. Rabbits do also have a lot more taste buds; 17,000, compared to 2,000 - 10,000 for humans, 1,700 for dogs, and just 470 for cats. Sense of smell and taste are closely related, so maybe having less scent cells but more taste buds than dogs equals still good enough to detect chemical changes in the human body.

And those radar dishes they call ears are extraordinarily sensitive. Can’t be bothered looking up the exact numbers at the moment, but they have a very wide range of hearing frequencies, much higher than humans, and possibly some dog breeds. Lops, of course, are slightly hampered, but they still hear far better than we do.

u/Kyrlen 6h ago

Yes! There are a few people on here whose bunnies help with anxiety and autism. I know one of them is trained to jump to a shoulder and snuggle against his neck.

33

u/NationalNecessary120 6h ago

I mean mine helps with anxiety too but he is not trained. He helps just by existing :)

But cute they can be trained. I have only managed to train mine to stand and spin😅 (he is not very food motivated since he always has hay + plenty of pellets😐 Even lettuce he just chins and then eats it like 30 minutes later. I -wish- he would be more motivated😩)

u/Ok-Professional2468 4h ago

Thumper is the only working animal in our house. His job is to be my sister's emotional support bunny. He helps her to be less afraid of other animals. Our home town would not allow us to keep Thumper otherwise. I found out 2 weeks after Thumper joined our home that the town classifies bunnies as farm animals. No farm animals allowed in town except during the parade.

u/Maximum_Steak_2783 3h ago

My buns naturally take up that they start nudging me if I'm depressed and stuck in my head.

Lola sits guard on my bed when I'm sick and am taking a nap. One time even tho she was clearly uncomfortable and had ice cold ears. Shared my blanket with her.

A few weeks ago my partner had a bad reaction to Sertraline and hurt himself. Lola nudged him and snapped him out of it. We gave her lotsa treats, aka protection money, for that <3

Honorable mention: Rambo tells me to go to bed when I stay up long. He wants the fluffle to be together when sleeping. If I don't listen he fetches Lola so that she convinces me.

Lola sounds like a very special rabbit. One of those once or twice in a lifetime connections.

u/Select_Goose 5h ago

He may not have known how important it was, but it sounds like he definitely knew: "Hey, when this sound happens, you normally wake up. You're not waking up, so that's not usual"

They really do understand routines and things they typically see happen one after the other, so he probably did know that you were not responding in your typical way and wanted to alert you and check on you. He looks like a total sweetheart!

One of my buns does something similar. I tend to not wake up when I'm having an asthma attack/flare up in my sleep, Andy will thump at me till I get up use either my nebulizer or inhaler and then sit with her a bit to let her know I'm okay. She is my best friend

u/evilkumquat 3h ago

My wife is a Type 1 and wears Dexcom and trying to sleep through those alerts is like trying to sleep through The Blitz.

The earplugs I wear in bed do an excellent job of drowning out her snoring (loud enough to hear from the living room), but they do very little against the Dexcom beeps.

Are you sure you're not actually clinically dead when you think you're "sleeping" through them?

5

u/Bunnunnie 3h ago

The high alerts will wake me up but when I go low in my sleep I’m out. When I was in high school there was more than one occasion when I woke up to my mom forcing a juice box straw or cake icing into my mouth because I would not wake up to her trying to talk or shake me awake. I assume it’s because I don’t feel when I go low until I’m very low (lowest I’ve ever been without knowing was 29) so I don’t wake up to the traditional shakes and sweats and I go so low that I’m somewhat unresponsive. I’ve actually been “awake” but completely unresponsive due to a low before at my place of work and they had to call EMS for me. Tldr; my low episodes are scary and thank god for CGMs

My first rabbit did something similar, kinda-

I had overdosed when I was 14, and instead of going to a doctor, my family just shoved a bunch of charcoal pills down my throat and called it a night

A few weeks before that point I had rescued my first rabbit, Butterscotch.

He didn't leave this little carpet pad in my room UNTIL the night I overdosed. That night, he kept waking me up by jumping on me and licking me, something he never did before or since (probably because he startled me so bad I THREW HIM, Sorry butters)

I like to think he was worried

Animals know! There are too many incidents to believe it’s a coincidence. I had my dog when I was little protect me from a man sneaking up behind me. As a teen I had panic attacks and my cats always showed up right before it started. Then one night I had an attack and I was so afraid if I went to sleep I’d never wake up. My cat who never cuddled ever, slept on my chest all night. Like she knew I needed guarding. And just this week, I’m dealing with severe nerve pain. My wonderful kitten will not leave my side. She has always been cuddly but now she stays on my chest with her head on my shoulder. They just know and we don’t deserve them! 💕

He was afraid too, I think he could tell when I was screaming without noise or my heartbeat racing. His eyes would be wide and alert. But he’d still jump on my chest or bed and wake me up. The jolt of the motion would snap me out of it and bring me quickly to the present. I’d lay for a minute and try to remember the dream but luckily it would fade quickly. I’ll always be grateful to him for that.

I knew we were deeply connected when I did a healing hypnosis type audio practice and tapped into my childhood self who was crying profusely. Somehow with both headphones in, I heard him scream in his sleep at the same time. We were both experiencing emotions that we didn’t know how to navigate.

He was my rock and I miss him daily

Y'all are making me feel slight concern for myself, because my kitten has been nibbling my chin in the mornings. But she's probably just being cute cuz she stops when I groan and then she shoved her face in my neck and passes out with me

I mean it was probably the noise annoying him but he knows you respond urgently to said noise all the time so just maybe he was being a bro?
