Well I hope my bun is on the mend. I tried some apple juice on pellets before work this am and came home at noon and he ate 5. And now he's eaten about 10 more. Hoping his poops start get back to normal and same with his appetite.

I'm pretty much going through the same thing with one of my buns. I know how the $ situation is but I would get her to a vet asap. They will probably give fluids which you can do at home they will show how to. They will probably prescribe some gut motility drugs and pain meds because gi stasis...

I would maybe try giving him a hairball remedy that you can buy for cats and just put it on his paw or something so he will lick it off. You don't want this to cause a blockage which could end with gi stasis (which im dealing with right now). I would just continue to keep brushing him.
So this all started a little over 2 weeks ago when my bun stopped eating. Had the run around with a couple vets in my local area until I decided to make the 3 hour trek to a rabbit savvy vet in Calgary. Anyways she diagnosed my lil guy with gi stasis but we are unsure of the underlying issue (it...
