hello every one.last month bob was admitted after having repeated tummy problems which resulted in some major stasis.fortunately he has made a good recovery(fingers crossed it stays that way)however our vet(i will not mention the name at this time,purely because her findings aren't complete and i don't want tread on any ones toes...however i will say this vet is possibly the best qualified vet in rabbit health in britain...
)thinks that they may have detected an unrecognised abnormality within a rabbits guts that could be responsible for rabbits with repeated bouts of stasis.a kink has been found in the guts of two rabbits with this problem which has required surgery to remove the affected part of the gut.the vets findings are still in the early stages but they expect to find more cases of this.i found this very interesting and thought others would too.if bob suffers again he may go on to need this surgery himself.
