Hi everyone,

My poor rabbitwill have to spend a 3rd night at the vet and is receiving treatment for stasis - she has eaten a bit but still hasn't passed any droppings in 3 days! I am so worried - I wondered if anyone had had a similar problem or knows what could be causng this to happen,

Thanks for your time!

I'm so sorry your bun is unwell :cry: I had the same thing with mine last year, he too was in the vets with statis and it was so bad they had to operate as his gut was blocked with what the vet called 'goo'!! We had no idea what this could be until we got home and to our horror the green 'chewable' tube our bun played in all day had been eaten! Such a worring time and I know how you feel. Your bun is in the best possible place and I'm sure your vet will look after him. My bun made a full recovery but it was touch and go for a while. The trouble was getting him to eat. The only thing I could tempt him with was fresh parsley as after lookiing on the internet this is a tonic for rabbits which I didn't know. I know it's hard but try not to worry. Me and my buns are sending lots of vibes for you. Keep us updated with progress. :wave:
 
i think Alvins record for no poop is about 4 days.. he was admitted daily for days and just wasnt pooping at all. they kept putting the food in and the fluid injections and he even nibbled tiny amounts.. just seemed to take forever before it started to appear out of the other end.

sending loads of get well vibes, hope you get your bunny home soon xxx
 
Ginger has had a couple of bouts of stasis too. Good luck with you're little bun, and let us know what's happening.
