Reading all the threads on the bunny health forum just now regarding poor wee mites that suffered with stasis it makes you wonder just how common it is.
Damn near everyone I know that's had rabbits has had them die for no apparent reason when they've not been that old. I wonder how many folk didn't catch the warning signs (not that there are many) and either didn't notice or decided just to take bunny to the vet the next day if it hadn't improved.
I remember the first time Honey had it the only things we noticed that were wrong was the fact she wasn't eating and the fact she was letting us approach her. If I hadn't been a member of this forum I'm unsure if I'd have thought she was just being huffy and not bothered visiting the vet.
I'm not speaking about anyone on the forum by the way more people I've known in real life. I wonder if it's something that needs to be focused on a bit more. In my vet there are leaflets about myxi and VHD but nothing that suggests a refusal to eat is so serious.
