Stasis/Liver problems

My gorgeous boy has been at the (very rabbit-savvy) vets since yesterday morning (with his bonded partner) and still hasn’t eaten for himself 😔 They’ve taken some bloods today and he may have a dental tomorrow - very, very slight spurs which may have caused the stasis. Any vibes appreciated; hope everyone is ok 🥰

Sending vibes for your boy. I hope that the vets can get his spurs sorted and that he's back eating again very soon. Xx
 
Sending lots of vibes for your boy. I hope the vets can make him feel better soon.
 
I'm sorry he's unwell. :( Lots and lots of vibes for him. I hope he'll start eating soon, and if he does have the dental tomorrow I hope that'll make him feel more comfortable.
 
Thank you everyone. He’s a little brighter but still not eating much. Bloods showed possible liver issue so dental and liver ultrasound today xxx
 
Dental done, liver issue confirmed so starting antibiotics today. If he’s eating for himself and pooing well, he can come home tomorrow to continue treatment and would have repeat ultrasound in a couple of weeks. Paws crossed they’ll be back home tomorrow 🥰
 
Glad the dental is over, and hoping the antibiotics get to work quickly. Sending lots of eating and pooping vibes so that they can come home x
 
Sounds like a good result. Well done to your vets for identifying and treating the issue. Hopefully he will now improve enough to come home. Lots more vibes.
 
Aw sorry to hear he has a problem with his liver - hoping the anti biotics sort that out & he feels better for his dental
