Rabbit not pooing - possible stasis

[FriskyClover]

Sorry to hear he is still poorly.

I would try to get him to move about a bit if you can, it stimulates their guts. Has he had any painkillers?

If he's eating of his own accord I would perhaps cut down the syringe feeding and try to encourage him to eat on his own and I mean eat practically anything! When my lot are poorly, I try brown bread, carrot tops, blackberry leaves, hand picked grass, anything they want. Once they start munching, they generally seem to keep going and gradually get their appetite back.

Lots of vibes

My wife just said about cutting down his food.

It's worrying that he's still not pooing though.

I suppose we could cut down to see what happens, although he's probably better at the vets tomorrow syringe feeding him then here without anybody around to check on him. I guess.

One thing we have observed is that he looks like he's going into the 'poo position' in the corner of his indoor hutch/cage that he usually poos in (sat up with bum just off of the floor) but nothing happens. He sits like that for a few seconds and then gives up and lays down.

How is he doing today? Is he eating a bit more on his own?

You could try mashing his pellets up and mixing those with the syringe feeding, if his mouth is a bit sore, he may prefer the softer food. I've also heard of people offering the recovery formula in bowls but my lot have never gone for that.

Hi, sorry he is still not too good. Can only recommend what everyone else has - get him moving around and offer him any food.

When Katy was like this she actually ate food she would not normally of taken and left her favourites . I tried anything and everything and eventually she started to eat, it was a few days after before she ate her normal amount of pellets again.

Hope he is feeling better soon.
