Been back in vets today, vet wanted to do a dental I insisted on blood tests which I'm glad I did as have shown a problem with his liver. The dental would probably have killed him... They don't know what's causing it so are referring him to a local specialist for an ultrasound and more tests. Vet thought it could be poison or an infection which we just can't understand how he'd be poisoned?! Anyway waiting from call from the other vets then will see. Poor boey need him to get better, he's my soul bunny

I am sorry to hear this. The Liver function can be effected as a direct result of a Rabbit not eating and can be rectified by re-feeding.. So it *might* be that the Liver abnormalities are a result of the gut stasis as opposed to the cause of the gut stasis. Hopefully the Specialist can help. Sending lots more vibes xx

Just back from the specialist they are both staying in over night, she was pretty sure it was the liver causing the stasis not the stasis causing the liver. He's going to be treated for bacterial and viral infections and see how it goes, got 2 days to fix him she estimates before he will be too sick... The liver enzyme test should have had a reading of 60-75 but he was 997 the specialist was amazed it was the rabbit from the test as he was relatively perky all things considered she is going to run blood tests on tronny to see if it's something infectious
He's in the best possible place and I trust this vet so we are just hoping and praying he will pull through. It's my birthday on Monday so want him home then sprinting around the house and grooming my face ��

I really hope that he will respond to treatment. Did the Specialist Mention Hepatic Coccidiosis as a possibility ?

She did but didn't think it likely as they're house rabbits

Good news vets much happier with him liver enzymes down to 600 his cecum is less solid and his second poos are back to normal and not biley like this morning. He's eating and weeing normally still on fluids and liver protector. She did X-ray last night and just showed impacted cecum, she thinks teeth are not problem so keeping them in again tonight but she's much less worried than yesterday
Great news!!
