Hi, i have my rabbit for 5 month, i dont think that he has digestive system problems but i hear voices comming out of his stomach, first I thought it was gasses and was massaging his stomach but this voices wont stop, what do you think it is
Yes he likes to eat so much, he is pooping and peeing normally and also he drinks waterIt may be gi stasis. You should call your vet right away. Is he eating/drinking/peeing/pooing as normal?
He drinks and eats normally he always enjoys eating and always trying to find new treat or food, his stomach is soft and when im touching it he doesn’t seem to be bother so I really dont know, i hear those voices for 5 montsMy understanding of GI stasis is that the digestive system is literally in stasis, and therefore does not make any sounds (determined via ascultation, or with a stethoscope). One should also notice behavioral and eating disturbances during stasis, such as not responding enthusiastically to food/treats, laying in strange positions with the stomach pushed down towards the floor, etc.
But I've never heard audible sounds coming from my rabbits' stomachs, so I'm not sure what that could mean without referring to a rabbit health book.
Gas in a rabbit should present as a more bloated abdomen, and harder-to-the-touch during palpation. That's not easy for a layperson to determine, though.
If you suspect gas, low-dose simethicone (liquid simethicone for infants) could be used to see if that helps. It's available over-the-counter in Wal-Marts, Walgreens, etc.
Also he is always happy his ears are always up and he is awlays jumping aroundHe drinks and eats normally he always enjoys eating and always trying to find new treat or food, his stomach is soft and when im touching it he doesn’t seem to be bother so I really dont know, i hear those voices for 5 monts
dear nataliemn,-diet is important,rabbits are by nature{herbivoures}-grass eaters ie,timothy/orchard grasses,..diet shall cosist of 70%grasses,quality pellets,then treats.--this will calm down the gi issue..teeth constanly grow-1-2mm weekly,therefore the grasses are extremely important--you may have to use infant simethicone for loud gi disturbances,and grinding teeth={pain}-watch the poops,they are key to your success,and a happy bun..sincerely james wallerAnd yes he is grinding his teeth always but i dont think it is because of pain cause as i said he is always happy ann energetic, im goingt to took him to doctor i think his teeth are growing fast or something i dont know
