I have written a similiar post the other day but in the wrong place.
My beautiful bunny Alice had major gastric surgery as a last resort this week after months of chronic pain and recurrent stasis symptoms treated by metaclop, ranatidine, syringe food and a high fibre diet.
It was found that she has a fibrous/thickened stomach outlet leading to narrowing and gut constriction. I have been told that the only possible treatment is steroid injections to reduce the inflammation and there is nothing else they can do for her.
She is recovering quite well from the operation and is bright and active, not showing signs of pain but is only eating a very small amount so far - dandelion leaves and parsley that I have taken in to vet for her. She is with her very close bonded companion Oliver.
I am finding it very hard as she has been at the vet since Monday morning. I know even if she comes home her prognosis is very poor and am worried about Oliver too as he adores her.
Does anyone else have experience of steroid injections and their side effects and any suggestions for diet with narrowing of stomach? She already has lots of hays, greens, probiotic in water, small pellets.
Thank you
Nicki
