Please Note - Medical Advice
Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.
We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.
Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

gastritis is severe imflamation of the mucusy linings of the stomach I think and caused by some form of bacteria, or mite infestation. I seem to remember reading that shock, stress, trauma can bring it on also.
I can go have a search for you if you want? Or, if you search gastritis yourself you might recognise the symptoms, and know quicker if thats what your bunny had/the name of the condition that the vet gave you.
Im sorry you lost your lovely bun, I'd be the same, wanting answers.
Hope this helps get you on the right path x

I wrote on your other thread a little about gut stasis, which is where the gut stops moving and they stop eating & pooing and the gut slows right down. They become lethargic and don't want to move, just like you said. So sorry.

Im so sorry, its awfully hard when one of our beloved bunnies die, chatting on this forum will probably help you, because we all understand how sad it can make you.
It's Gut Stasis from the extra info you have given, and if you have a look at your other post, Helgalush has explained it very well.
