My our rabbit developed stasis about 2 1/2 months ago. X-rays showed some mineralized material but didn’t seem to be obstructed. We were doing critical care, hay only, no pellets, lots water and meloxicam, probiotic and another med j can’t remember to help move the GI tract. During that time he...

Right now they are both getting critical care and unlimited hay. We were supposed to try adding. 1/8 c pellets back in today, but little guy hunched a few times so he’s going back to the vet first thing in the morning.

Hi. I have a dumb question. I know buns are supposed to eat roughly their body size in bay and be offered unlimited hay. What does body size worth look like when grabbing handfuls of long hay? I always ensure my buns have plenty of hay, but we have been dealing with stasis and I want to know...

Thanks so much for the helpful info!

Thank you for the info. I’ve been calling the vet often and I think they’re probably sick of me🤦🏻‍♀️my little guy loves the critical care. He practically sucks it out of the syringe. I don’t hold him or anything. My female had loved it and started not taking it and poops slowed down and today...

Hi. The vet said no pellets til eating plenty of hay on their own. I think my little guy might be about ready for that. Stil just trying to figure out the water drinking with him. My little girl who is t taking the critical care (she loved it until a couple days ago) has started pooping less so...

Hi. I called the vet this morning. They are an exotic pet vet and listed on rabbit.org they are not free roaming rabbits do to our dog but have large rabbit hutches with an attached x pen. The only thing in their enclosures are hay, water and pellets and oxbow hay toys. The hutch is non toxic...

Also the brand is Eaton Patsture. It is 1st cut. It’s what the breeder recommended. But I just looked at the package and realize it’s Timothy and Orchard grass. I thought it was just Timothy.

Hi. The breeder gave me Modesto Milling pellets as that’s what she was giving them. They were getting unlimited because of their age. I had tried mixing in some Oxbow youth pellets because the vet prefers that kind. They were picking out the Modesto Milling and only eating those, so she said I...

Hi. I have two Holland lops that are 16 weeks as of today. I have a male and female that are siblings and they are in separate enclosures for the time being. Both rabbits developed stasis a week and a half ago. Both x rays showed what the vet described as monetarily stuff in their digestive...
