Hi!
I was wondering if anyone on here knows much about gut stasis? I've had three Rex bunnies and all have unfortunately experienced the illness. Thankfully it's always been caught early but I'm just not sure where to go now. Sadly, my first two Rex bunnies passes away but now I have a little 14 month old bunny called Tundra. All have been mostly house bunnies but get a 45minute run in the garden in the morning then pretty much the entire evening outside once we're back from work. All have been spayed and their diets are hay, grass, pellets, dandelions, souththistles, parsley & coriander. We cut out greens/kale and muesli incase it was that but I doesn't seem to have helped? I'm terrified it's something i'm doing? My old English bunnies have never had GI Stasis so could it be a breeding issue?? Any advice will be very much appreciated.
My vet would like to run some tests on him and though blood tests and dropping analysis are fine, I'm very reticent for them to take him for a scan as I don't like the idea of him having anaesthetic and being taken away for the day.
