Happy Hopping
Wise Old Thumper
So I only have 2 Rex all these years. My first Rex was a mini Rex Bobby that I adopted from SPCA. In the 7 year that I have Bobby, (I got him from age 5 to age 12), there has been about 4 to 5 times, that I think he's on a GI stasis. As I judge that whenever a rabbit's side muscle is rapidly moving up and down, and not responding to treats, then he's in a GI stasis.
So what I did is to give a little bit of metacam, and in those years, 1/2 to 45 min. later, everything back to normal, and makes me wonder if I jump the gun or not.
After Bobby passed away, I adopted Fudgie, he's a mix breed, and quite often, his side muscle always moves up/down, so I'm used to seeing it and know that it means nothing
In Aug, I adopted Andi, she's a 100% Rex, and tonight, the same thing happen. She really loves the treats, so when I put the banana on the dish, and she won't go for it, and she won't nibbble the hay that I put in front of her, and that her side muscle is moving up/down, I judge that she's in a GI stasis. So I did 0.17 ml of metacam, and 1/2 to 4 5min. later, everything back to normal.
So this is the 2nd Rex that I'm seeing this. I don't know what to make of it. I don't even think metacam can reacts that fast.
Now, I did discover she's shedding fur. Not a lot, only 4 comb full of fur, but it's still a shed. Could this be just a coincidence with my bridge bun Bobby ?
