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.

    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.

Getting over GI stasis - how long?

Hi everyone I just thought I'd finish off this thread (and in case anyone has the same trouble in future and wants to know the outcome!)
Billy's op was on Monday, all week small poos and uncomfortable. Very late Friday night he started eating with more excitement and even ate a couple of pellets! By Saturday morning he was eating lots and his poos started to become better formed. I continued with the medicines and syringe feeding so he was getting fibre (as still not eating hay but then he never was good at that!)
This morning (Sunday) I woke up to a fully formed cecotrophe and lots of healthy looking poops! And Billy's eyes were alert and he went off exploring around my bedroom! :D I'm so happy to see him like this, after 3 weeks!
I don't think he has pinworms I think those bits were mucus in his poo. They're gone now but I'll still treat him with Panacur as routine.
I want to thank you all so much for all of your comments, you've been great. Health and happiness to you and your buns! :love:

Thanks for posting Elaine. I was wondering how you and Billy were getting on :wave:

Glad to hear the news. I did doubt the pinworms and cecal impaction, and I'm glad I was right, as you've had enough to worry about!

Keep in touch won't you xx
