    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.

From your personal experiences how can you prevent certain illness such as GI Stasis for example.

This might help owners now to look out for certain symptoms and how they can help with it or prevent it form in the beginning.
 
As a bunny mum of two tummy buns, one a lot worse than the other. I think consistency is the key, not to make sudden changes especially to diet but to life in general.
You need to keep their stress levels to a minimum of possible and treat them with kindness and respect.
You need to know what to look out for as well which is extremely important as with GI Statis time is a very critical part of getting them better.
