INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Pruning done only for the health of the plant should be scheduled for the late winter or early spring, before new growth has had much chance for development. Since burning bushes are primarily grown for their foliage, you don't need to worry too much about accidentally removing flower buds. The most vibrant foliage will grow on new branches, though, so it is still best to trim the bush before new growth has developed. When you decide to prune a burning bush for the health of the plant alone, you only need to worry about removing branches that could encourage disease to spread through the plant and destroy it. Even if you opt to prune the plant for shape, you should still prune it for health before worrying shape maintenance. Use pruning shears to cut away any dead branches or branches that have been severely injured. Branches are most often injured by disease, insect infestation, animals, or bad weather. Cut diseased branched down to their point of origin on the main stem. Doing so is the only way to make sure that the disease does not spread. Injured branches can be cut back to their point of origin on the main stem, or you may wish to only cut away the injured portion of the branch. In the latter case, cut the injured branch down to a side branch and make the cut 1/4 inch (6 mm) above the bud. Look for any branches or branch stubs that are intertwined or rubbing against each other. Use pruning shears to remove these branches, as well. Cut these branches down to their point of origin on the main stem. Problem branches like these will typically grow back again in the same direction, so it is best to remove them completely instead of trimming them down.

SUMMARY: Prune in late winter or early spring. Remove dead or dying branches. Cut away branches that rub together.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Choose a clear pitcher or punch bowl to showcase the beauty of the sangria. Choose a pitcher or bowl large enough fit an entire bottle of wine and to serve 8 drinks. Fill glasses by pouring them from the pitcher or use a ladle to fill glasses from a punch bowl. A dispenser is not a good choice for serving sangria, as the fruit can clog the spout. After you make sangria, don't serve it immediately. Let it sit anywhere from 4 hours to overnight to allow the fruit to soak up the flavors. However, don't add any seltzer or sparkling water until you're ready to serve the sangria. Sangria is best served chilled, so store it in the refrigerator in the serving container while the ingredients are soaking. Alternatively, you can serve it on the rocks by filling glasses with ice before pouring in the sangria. Dip the mouth of a glass in a shallow bowl of water. Then, dip the wet glass in a shallow bowl of sugar or spices that complement the flavors of the sangria. Fill the glass with sangria and enjoy! Spices you could use to rim the glasses include cinnamon, cayenne pepper, cocoa powder, or a mixture of them. Put cherries, cranberries, or raspberries on a pretty toothpick and stick it in the top of each glass. Alternatively, you could garnish the glasses with citrus slices, a few frozen blueberries, or a sprig of mint.
Summary: Serve sangria from a pitcher or punch bowl. Allow it to soak for several hours before serving. Serve sangria chilled or on the rocks. Put sugar or spices on the rim of the glass. Add a fruit or herb garnish to the sangria.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Digestive problems in rabbits can be life threatening. As soon as you suspect a digestive problem in your rabbit, take him to your veterinarian immediately. Your veterinarian will first perform a physical exam of your rabbit. They will then conduct diagnostic tests, depending on what they suspect is causing the digestive problem. If your rabbit has diarrhea, your veterinarian will test the feces to identify the specific organism (e.g., Clostridium). Your veterinarian will take x-rays and/or perform an abdominal ultrasound if they suspect GI stasis or GI obstruction. A GI obstruction can be a life-threatening situation requiring emergency treatment. Being able to visualize your rabbit's belly will help your veterinarian diagnose and treat your rabbit effectively. Treating digestive problems in rabbits typically involves several general treatment strategies, including rehydration, restoring gut movement, and pain control. These treatments are best performed by a veterinarian, at least until the rabbit is well enough for at-home care. Treatment options will vary slightly, depending on the specific digestive problem. Dehydration can cause digestive problems in rabbits, and be a symptom of these problems. To rehydrate your rabbit, your veterinarian will give him fluids. How your veterinarian administers the fluids (e.g., by mouth, under the skin, directly into a vein) will depend on several factors, such as your rabbit's ability to drink on his own and the severity of the dehydration. Rehydrating your rabbit will put more fluid in his digestive system, which will soften digestive contents and allow them to pass through the system more easily. If your rabbit's digestive system isn't moving food through very quickly, or at all, it will need some help getting back to normal. In addition to fluid therapy, your veterinarian may administer medications called prokinetics to encourage the gut to get moving again. Prokinetics are helpful in treating GI stasis, as well as diarrhea caused by overuse of antibiotics. If your rabbit has an obstruction, he should not receive a prokinetic. Prokinetics may take several weeks to restore your rabbit's normal gut motility. Gas buildup (due to GI obstruction or GI stasis) and diarrhea can be very painful for your rabbit. If the pain is severe, your veterinarian will administer pain medication to get the pain under control as quickly as possible. When your rabbit is well enough to go home, your veterinarian may prescribe a pain medication for at-home care. A bad diet (low in indigestible fiber, high in sugar and carbohydrates) is a common cause of digestive problems in rabbits. Your veterinarian will first see if your rabbit can eat a healthy diet on his own. If he cannot, or will not, your veterinarian may try feeding him a high-fiber gruel, such as Oxbow Critical Care, through a syringe.

SUMMARY:
Take your rabbit to your veterinarian. Discuss treatment options with your veterinarian. Correct your rabbit's dehydration. Use medication to stimulate gut movement. Relieve your rabbit's abdominal pain. Encourage your rabbit to eat.
