Hi, I had pet insurance for my bunny, when he was ill i took him to the emergency vets who gave him pain killer, anti bio and gut moving stimulant.I now think he had gi stasis although vet didnt mention this and I was unaware of the condition then. unfortuantely he still died. Does anyone know if the insurance pay out for this kind of thing. it was 190 pound. I wasnt going to claim but i think now i would liket to and give the money to a rabbit rescue/charity?

Yes, this is the sort of thing they will cover. Clearly the treatment was necessary as your poor bun died 
Some of the reasons they might not pay out in general are:
Some of the reasons they might not pay out in general are:
- If your bun had previously had the same illness before you started the insurance ie a "pre-existing condition"
- The illness was caused by some act of carelessness or negligence on your part
- The illness was preventable by vaccination and you didn't have them vaccinated
- The treatment was not necessary
- There is a time limit for your claim, but I think it's 12 months after the illness
I think it's a reasonable thing to claim for - at least try! Worse case scenario is that they just say no right? There's actually an article that talks about pet insurance on http://www.medicalinsurance.org - I think in the miscellaneous section. That might give you a bit more information.
Sorry for your loss though

That's quite a normal price for an emergency vet visit. Which is why I think insurance is so important for most people.
