Firstly i want to thank you all for this week and your replies and advice,i have followed many people's advice off here and the pets forum and i believe the last 5-6 days have been worst of my life nursing my sick baby bun but today he turned a corner he is hopping round house, doing dry nugget poo as i describe them lol and his eating eating and eating he has had lots cuddles from his sibling and me and my mum and the care and attention and vets help and yours i think we have got him over the worst and i can see my old Toto back this eve i believe it was GI Stasis although vets never said what was wrong, i am so relieved and happy he is on the mend just a quick question do i continue with meds (painkiller and gut stimulant) for few days make sure or take him off he not done the little black slimey poos yet but guess the other poo (dry ones) is a good sign?? he is drinking by himself now yeah go Toto!
:wave::love::D
 
You need to ask the Vet about whether or not to continue the medication, we cannot advise you about that.

I am glad Toto is feeling better :)
 
As Jane said we can not advise you on whether you should continue the meds or not you will need to ask your vet what they recommend.
When Jimby has statis they tend to continue the meds until he is eating by himself as there is such a thing as overstimulation of the gut if used when not needed.
But I urge you to seek the advise of your vet as they will be able to advise you what to do in Toto's case.
 
Hi Im sooo glad Toto is feeling better, I was wondering how ur little man is, sounds like hes doing really well :D
Definatly call the vets re. continuation of meds. Make sure he gets loooooads of hay and drinks lots and I wouldnt give him anything else (except a few pellets a day) for a few weeks just to make sure his gut is truly back in shape.
The dry poos are a great sign, thats exactly what you want to be seeing. The wetter poos u describe are caled caecotrophs and the buns eat these and recycle the nutrients within them. So the fact that you're not seeing any is infact a great sign and perfectly healthy :thumb: Too many uneaten caecotrophs can indicate a problem.
