My boyfriend and I just got a new male bunny, supposedly 10-12 weeks old. He was already acting weird when we got him, and when I look back on it he was acting weird at the pet store as well. We've taken him in to the vet and he's since been diagnosed with Ileus or Stasis. (this occurred yesterday, the day after we bought him). The vet injected him with Metacam, Zantac, and Marbocyl SA...one of those being for pain. Bunny hadn't been eating or pooping...the only time he pooped was when I had him laid on me the day before and when we went to move him all this mushy rather smelly poop came out He's been prescribed with Lagolax and Fibreplex...must feed him three times a day. We were able to get him to eat some fresh grass last night after the vet...and after his feeding of medication this morning there was one tiny poop, but that's it. It's now 2 in the afternoon and nothing else has changed and he is back to being in the corner and grinding his teeth every now and then. The medicine feeding was the worst, I was so emotional about it because he obviously didn't like it and I don't like to see him in pain.
I was wondering if anybody out there has had a bunny with this problem (which is obvious) and how long it took for them to recover, and under what treatment? I'm so impatient I guess I just assume he will be better immediately...I'm also hoping he gets better because I'm just really scared that something bad will happen He's going back in to the vet tonight, so we'll see what happens then as well. Please, if anybody can offer any assistance, it would be very much appreciated as I am worrying myself sick!
