Hi there.
I have had problems off and on with three of my buns recently who have developed bloat/GI stasis.
Last night Nell was hopping like a dafty around the garden, exploring everything and getting up to all sorts of mischief with her friends.
She went back into the run which had been all cleaned out. They were all fed their small amount of veggies and pellets as per every other night at that time. Literally 10 minutes later I checked on them and there she was, flat out in her litter tray, tight sore tummy, panting, all 'drawn in' around her ribs. I whisked her in and started all the belly rubs and Infacol. She did well overnight thankfully, started eating and pooing and joined the rest of the gang again this morning.
What are your experiences of the causes of bloat?. Twice it has happened to her recently. I didn't catch it so early last time and she ended up much more unwell and on the road to gut stasis. She got a dental the last time as there were some sharp edges to her teeth though just precautionary really.
She hasn't had any changes to her diet. Hmmm, any ideas would be appreciated. Its scary how quickly it develops. Could she just have a sensitive tummy?
