I just read Pam's note in the infirmary about GI stasis season and Nutri Cal. I've never given Nutri Cal and wondered more about it. I was able to find a little information in the library but still have questions.
From my reading, I assume you would only use Nutri Cal if you start to see any early symptons of stasis but not if the rabbit isn't eating at all. Is this correct? Does it just stimulate appetite for rabbits? I've only seen it for dogs and cats and wondered if this is the same stuff you give a rabbit and how much to give?
I've always just added a teaspoon of pumpkin to my rabbits morning and evening greens if I suspect he may be acting a little off or has smaller poos. Would it be better to skip the pumpkin and add the Nutri Cal?
Also, when is Benebacgiven? I've never seen this in our local pet store.Is it something the vet should give?I spentmuch of last year dealing with a rabbit withgut issues and the vet never mentioned either of them.I'm wondering if its something I need to keep on hand though but not sure.
I always have simethicone, canned pumpkin and critical care on hand.DoI try to find benebac and nutri cal too?
Thanks.
