    Fighting GI stasis

    I was told not to do that. Our first vet prescribed 100cc sub qs to my 1.3 kilos bunny. The second one told not to give more than 50 cc sub q in addition to the Critical Care. I was told so many wrong things by vets. That my bunny's droopy face was just a cosmetic problem or he had a brain tumor...

    Fighting GI stasis

    He didn't make it. I was taking him to a vet and he died in my arms on the way there. Thank you for helping me. RIP Wasabi.

    Fighting GI stasis

    They do not have appointments today and for emergency I would have to take him to a vet who is not bunny savvy. His prognosis was grave to begin with. I managed to give him fluids today it was just harder than usual.

    Fighting GI stasis

    It used to be easier to do sub qs. Now Wasabi's skin feels thicker I am having a hard time to insert a needle. It's also more difficult to make a tent out of his skin. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Fighting GI stasis

    Thank you. I stopped giving him yogurt and I am giving him metronidazol later today. I was told it has to be 72 hours between injections. I gave him 1/4 teaspoon of benebac yesterday and I should have it in gel form today. The vet told me to stop motility medication and it seems to stop the...

    Thank you.

    Too much Sub q fluids?

    Yes. A few times. He is very sick. GI stasis, diarrhea, ear infection. I refused to put him down and now I am thinking if I did the right thing. He gets better for a little bit, then turns to the worse, then again small improvement and gets worse even more. He had a great appetite a few hours...

    Too much Sub q fluids?

    My holland lop bunny was getting 50cc fluids by vet's recommendations. Yesterday he didn't pee and the vet said to give an extra 50. After I gave him another sub q today I noticed the fluids have not absorbed after 6 hours. It is possible I gave him slightly more because it was a new bag and...

    Fighting GI stasis

    Got a hold of the vet and she insists that yogurt is fine. She doesn't know how much of powdered benebac to give. The instruction on the package says 1 tea spoon for 1-5 lbs of weight. It sounds like too much.

    Fighting GI stasis

    Well, this vet is probably the best bunny doctor within 1 hour drive around me. I have bene-bac but I am not sure how much to give him. The vet was supposed to call 2 hours ago and I am still waiting.

    Fighting GI stasis

    He is eating Critical Care and pellets. Greens just very little. And he is not eating hay at all. I give him non-fat plain greek yogurt. I started giving him yorurt along with TMS so I am not sure with one to blame.

    Fighting GI stasis

    His poop is very loose. He is taking TMS and the vet suggested giving him 1cc of non-fat yogurt twice a day. The diarrhea started yesterday.

    Fighting GI stasis

    The vet told me to give him 50cc sub-q once a day and that plus his Critical Care food would be enough. He peed three times in the morning but nothing after 2 pm. I called the vet and was told to give 50cc more. Still nothing. I was told not to give him fluids orally. The previous vet told to...

    Fighting GI stasis

    Thank you. I am giving him a chance. This new vet is amazing. She managed to trim his molars a little for now without sedating him so it's easier for him to eat.

    Fighting GI stasis

    I took my bunny to another vet today. He was showing some improvement and I hoped he will be better. I found out he has an ear infection the other vet didn't find. Also the lower molars are to pointy and they are cutting into his tongue. And he has kidney problem now. He has poor chances but the...

    Fighting GI stasis

    My Holland lop Wasabi is a sick baby and I need some help in between vet visits. He got sick last Sunday, was checked by a vet on Monday, and he is going to the vet's again on Monday next week. He is not eating or drinking by himself. He wanted to eat baby food (pumpkin, carrot, apple) but the...
