Hi, I have an 8 year old House Rabbit, who has been off his food for the past two weeks. He has been very prone to GI Stasis throughout his life and I usually pick up on it at the first instance and administer Bio Lapis which usually solves the problem, sometimes with an added gut stimulant injection, although this time it doesn't seem to be solving it.
It almost seems like he is forgetting to get eat, because when you put the bowl in his face he sometimes eats. He also has plenty of timothy hay and parsley.
I took him to the vet 4 days ago and she said that although his stomach was a bit empty it didn't feel like GI Stasis, but gave him his usual injection of Vitamin B5 and a gut stimulator. He has had 3 of these now in a week, 2 of which I have administered.
He is going back to the vets tonight, but I would like to go with some additional information if anyone has any. I'm getting worried now that he doesn't appear to be getting better after 2 weeks.
Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.
