I've been gone awhile, but have been thinking ofyou & Tucker often. I was so afraid when I saw how many pageswere in this thread. It's so good to hear that adorable little man isok. He's sort of the mascot of the Rabbits Only Forum. He's the bunnymoderator. He's got the cutest skinny little legs. And he's Carolyn'sheart. You're a great rabbit mommy. Tucker, I'm sending some ear rubsyour way!

Pam,

Just thinking ahead and for prevention, does it make any sense to youto give them cod liver oil every so often to keep their intestinesslippery? I realize they need the fiber of course, but Iquestion if having the intestines lubricated would help prevent thingsfrom getting stuck. Your thoughts would be much appreciated.

Probably won't do much as the inflammation seems to be the primaryproblem. Also, I don't advise syringingany oil substances because of the danger of aspirating into the lungs.

Thanks Dawn and everyone for following along.

Ahhhh, Many Many thanks, Pam!

It was also noted that little Tucker's gut wasactually hyper active before the stasis hit and he was passing anabnormal amount of soft feces. One wonders if that would bethe time to administer an anti-inflammatory med. to attempt to controlinflammation and promote peristalsis.

Pam

 

[Carolyn]

Can an anti-inflammatory be purchased over the counter?
