I had aquestion about the GI blockage,if wewere to take him to thevet before he passed on would that have saved him or would it stillhave been to late to save him.I didn't know what was wrongwith him and I did call at the vets office,but couldn't get him inbecause it was yesterday (Friday) and the vet that sees rabbits was onvacation and with this being the weekend vets most vets aren't openexcept emergency vet hospitals.I went to a pet feed store and askedquestions and they suggested vitamins to give to him.
Aw, I'm so sorry about Pepper. :tears2:
GI Stasis or blockageis actually usually a symptom, not acause, soit's very hard to know exactly what was wrong withhim. Hecould have had abug, orcancer or just about anything. The problem with bunnies isthey often -- very often -- don'tlet us know they're sickuntil its too late.There'sno guarantee avetcould have helped him, either, especially since therereally aren't a lot of bunny-savvy onesout there.You did thebest you could. I've seen your posts,here, and you were a very attentive and caringbunnyperson. I agree withAngieluv, I hope you'll find itin your broken heart to giveanother bunnysuch goodcare. I'm so sorry for your loss.
First let me say I amso sorry you and Pepper hadtogo through this , Its always heartbreaking when someone loses a Rabbit.
While GI Stasis is a seeeminglysymptomless issue thats notalways the case.
One of your very first warning signs are: no Poops , NoPee,No Eating, Not alwaysis it fatal at this stage , Iam battling it as we speak ina Jersy Woolyof allrabbits, Ihave been battling it sinceMonday when I walked by andHe didnt lookor feel right. This is a perfect timeto go through the P P E list. IF the PPE listisnt there its time to getaggressive. There is a goodchance whether you had takenhim to the Vet or not Nothing couldhave been done tosave him , Its a very Hard thing tospeculate about . Taking him to the Vet may even have prolonged thepain and agony he was in . Hon There is neveran easy 20 / 20 answer and beatingyourself over it certainly wonthelp , Know in your heart Hewas comforted and happy withyou as his Mother.
