This afternoon when I returned home, I went to check up on my rabbits as I always do. I chopped some apple for them since they haven't had it in a while and I thought they would like a little treat, but when I got to their pen Cleo wasn't running to the gate to greet me like she always does. I found her lying down upstairs in her hutch. When I opened it, she lifted her head but otherwise didn't really move. I tried offering her the apple, but she wasn't interested which is unusual for her. I went and got some hay to see if she'd take that, but she wasn't interested in it either. I'm a bit concerned as this is really out of character for her. I think she seems to be showing signs of GI stasis? I don't think her belly is swollen, if it is it's only slightly and it doesn't feel hard. I'm going to monitor her for the next few hours, but is there anything particular I need to watch for? Would massaging her belly help at all? I've been out since this morning, so I don't know how long exactly it's been since she last pooped... Do I wait an hour or two and see if she goes? At what point do I need to take her to the vet? I'm really sorry for all the questions, I've never had a rabbit with possible GI stasis before. :?
