Is any one else concerned that a few buns in stasis have been given baytril (Antibiotic) by mouth when there is no evidence of infection?
Also despite the hot weather, these buns do not seem to be getting help with hydration issues.
Not only am I not a vet, but I could not even examine a bunny. Far be it from me to tell a vet what to do - truely.
But I think I have grasped the basic principals of treating stasis, & the pitfalls.
As I understand it there is a potential for oral ABx to further destabilise the intestinal flora, & make the stasis worse except in a VERY few very RARE situations. It is after all a life threatening condition.
Bunny mummies cannot be expected to know about stasis when it happens for the 1st. time.
What do others think? and what can we do about it on here?
