So Winston has stasis again, for about the 4th time in 3-4 years. I took him to the vet yesterday who gave him an injection of metacam, another painkiller (bupa something?), Zantac and baytril just incase. He felt his tummy and said it didn’t feel blocked but it was sore. Last night we gave him his second dose of metacam, Zantac and baytril. This morning he’s had Zantac and baytril but metacam is once a day so he’s having that this evening. Normally he loves Zantac but he refused it this morning so we had to bunny burrito him with a towel which stressed him out. He isn’t moving much. All he has eaten in 24 hours is his pellets as usual yesterday morning, then a small treat and a couple of pieces of kale and about 2 pellets. I happen to not be at work today so can keep an eye on him all day. But tomorrow I am back to work. When should I take him back to the vet if he hasn’t eaten/shown signs of improvement? This evening?
Also, why does he keep getting stasis? Edith never gets it, although we didn’t have a slight panic with her a couple of weeks ago. The vet said he could be a particularly anxious rabbit and so small amounts of stress bring on stasis. But what can we do about this?
