Hi all
my 3 year old bunny Peter was lethargic and not eating on Sunday evening, we took him to the vets first thing Monday morning who said he was showing symptoms of statis. We have been giving his prescribed medicine but he’s showing not much sign of improvement.
he has not been as mobile as normal this week and has kept mostly in his bed. His bonded brother is with him so I’m finding it hard to spot any poos although I have found a few where he has been lying this week, which look like really small solid lumps .. he has no interest in greens or hay and I can’t seem to get him to eat them at all. I am currently swapping between giving him Kale in mushed pellet paste and kale in lukewarm water, that he is licking but not eating no matter how much I tempt him.
he has lost weight but there’s no teeth grinding. He is sitting hunched quite often but then I see him grooming himself so he is a bit up and down. I’m worried that it’s not GI Statis but don’t have a clue what else it could be and feel silly doubting the vet. He has no dental issues so it’s not that,
Can anyone tell me if I need to be doing more/something different? I’m so worried I don’t know how to help him, it’s the worst feeling.
