my rabbit flapjack is just over 2 years old and is going through his first GI stasis (my first time experiencing it as well). noticed he was very lethargic and not eating so i whisked him to the emergency vet last night and came home with meds and critical care for stasis.
i'm feeling quite discouraged as things seem to be getting better and then things seem to be getting worse. he'll mostly eat the critical care and he takes his meds like a total champ, but then when i got home from work i noticed he'd peed all over himself (he's never ever had litter box issues, im assuming he just didn't feel well enough to get up and go to the litter box)...and then when i gave him a butt bath i noticed he started to poop (which i was very excited for even if they were little tiny poops.)
i guess i'm looking for encouragement and words of advice from other bunny parents who have gotten through stasis...he's still not acting like himself but he's bright eyed; he doesn't approach me when i go to his enclosure but he's still responsive. i'm scared for my lil dude
