GI Stasis

[Carolyn]

Yup! Tucker's intestinal system has slowed down again. Even with the pineapple each week and daily grooming.

At least now I know what I'm in for and what to do, so I'm not as panicky, but I'm just so disgusted.

I think it could be as a result of a few things. 1) The weather hasbeen bizarre here in New England. One day, it's 68 degrees, the nextday, it's snowing...literally. 2) Since he's the one that does most ofthe grooming for Fauna, I think he's taking in the fur. I do brush themall daily, but Tucker's poops have been small since Cali arrived andtoday they stopped. As soon as I gave him a full round of treatment, hepooped. 3) Cali's arrival on the scene could be stressing him out andhis immune system is down. 4) He is molting, but you'd think the brushwould get most of it.

Whatever the case, what a drag. :?

We'll get through it. I don't think it's as serious as his last roundof it, but I'm beginning to wonder if this is going to be life with mylittle Mon. As cool as he is, he definitely stresses easily.

Don't feel badly for us. I just wanted to remind you all to keep an eyeon your rabbit's stools. They're the best indicator of their health.

Poor Tucker! I am glad to hear it isn't serious,I know how upset you were the last time around. I love rabbits todeath, but it's really hard to have a pet that gets stressed so easily.I have been keeping a watchful eye on Lorraine as she is molting rightnow. I just hope myself and everyone else is lucky enough not to gothrough the heartbreak of GI Stasis.

Thank you, My Friends.

Tucks doesn't seem in pain and is eating. I knew I was in trouble theday before yesterday because he was pooping cecotropes a lot. Today, nopoops until I gave him the canned pumpkin, fresh pineapple juice,papaya pill, and NutriCal.

Gave some fresh pineapple and canned pumpkin to the girls too, Faunaand Cali. Fauna's intestinal system seems quite resilient of the virus.I literally Thanked God when Cali enjoyed the canned pumpkin andthe pineapple. I couldn't imagine trying to force-feed her. :shock:

Pam, I'll say a prayer that this too shall pass for you and yours.
