For the past year Patch, our 8 year-old Dutch rabbit, has been in and out of stasis. Each time it has been an ordeal of trying to get him to eat and each time his droppings have become fewer and fewer, smaller and smaller sometimes to look like mouse droppings. He never really has returned to normal though he improves to produce a reasonable amount of larger droppings more frequently but nothing like he was when he first came to live with us. Now he is into a really long bout of stasis. Though he is lively, but with periods of inactivity when he looks depressed and lethargic, he just will not improve. Right now he hardly eats, picking only at the grass and dandelions recommended by the vet with a reduced amount of pellets and Fibro Plus. Previously his diet consisted of cabbage, carrots and tops, kale, apples, broccoli and parsley his favourite which now he does not touch. He also has Ready Grass and three different types of hay including Timothy Hay, however he rarely touches hay barely nibbling at a strand or two. And in fact nibbling is now all he does. I have given him a variety of herbs in addition to the grass and dandelions, he takes a small amount and that is all. He is fed on Recovery four or five times a day 5 to 10 mils a time though the vet said only 2 mils, but I am worried to give him such a small amount as he is eating little else. He has been X-rayed and has the usual meds of Metoclopramide and Zantac, hydration treatment and painkillers ( Matacam) but nothing is helping. The problem with the medication is that he has had to remain on a maintenance dose so I am wondering if it now actually working. I am at my wits end, as I don’t know what to do. The x-ray revealed he had a large amount of fat in his intestine, which I think the vet said resembled a tumour but was benign but which nevertheless may be slowing down his digestive tract. I am not really sure about the last sentence as the x-ray was over a week ago now and there was no written diagnosis. The vet said there were no signs of cancer and that his kidneys and lungs were clear and his teeth were okay. I was told he needs to loose weight and his intake of pellets has been reduced and he is allowed only an eggcup full of pellets and Pro Fibre each day along with grass and dandelions, which he hardly eats, but he is getting worse. I don't know what to do I am at my wits end for there seems to be no solution. Any help please will be much appreciated. Thank you
