Eclipse hasnt eaten anything all day and has only done a wee and a few poos. I have syringed some mashed up pellets and water into him but he wont eat by himself and wont move unless made to. his belly is not hard, he feels normal in that area and he was given a clean bill of health just 3 weeks ago. Do I take him to the emergency vet who charge £70 just to see him or what do I do? :cry::cry:

Id take him to the vets then,Claude was poorly the other week not eating and just lying down he wasnt bloated but he did have a gassy tum he had 3 injections it was very expensive but i wouldnt of slept that night otherwise
Hope your boy is ok xxx
 
Stasis can happen to any bun at anytime...regardless whether or not they are healthy.
If you think there is something not right with him (and only you know your bunny) then yes take him to the vet. If you leave him and he he gets worse he will have to go tomorrow anyway.

If he is not moving around unless made to then that to me suggests something is wrong with him. Have you tried massaging his stomach? usually it's pretty easy to tell if it's empty and if he has any gas you should be able to hear it rumbling around.
 
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ sending bunny vibes}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} not nice im dealing with 4 like it at the mo :( got treatment for all though all doing ok least they are all still eating and drinking,
 
I hope he's ok. Sending eating-and-pooing vibes. I've just gone through this with my girly bun-Lailey. She's still on a cocktail of drugs but certainly so much better. Back to her cheeky self:love: Keep us updated. I'm sure he'll be just fine.

Back from the vets. I caught it before his tummy got gassy so I caught it before it got bad. He was given 3 injections and i have some critical care formula I have to syringe in to him, he also has some baytril. If not any better by morning he will be off again tomorrow. Keeping him inside tonight to monitor his poos.

Thanks for the vibes xx
