Hi. I have two Holland lops that are 16 weeks as of today. I have a male and female that are siblings and they are in separate enclosures for the time being. Both rabbits developed stasis a week and a half ago. Both x rays showed what the vet described as monetarily stuff in their digestive track that was not obstructive but causing the stasis. We had a little improvement but still hunching etc. took them
Back and the vet re x rated and said whatever they ate, we think they were eating too much wood from their hutches ( they have hutches with large corn around for more room )… anyway she said it was moving but she wanted to extend their treatment to make sure we get it all out and she felt good about the chances of them recovering. Well we’ve been keeping up with the treatment meds and critical care (12 ml every 8 hrs) anyway we are seeing much improvement. No more hunching and our little ones seem so much better. Vet had us take away pellets so they get unlimited water, Timothy hay and the cc feedings. Well my little guy has been drinking sooooo much water. I measured the water in his bowl and it’s 16 Oz and he drinks 3/4 of it. And is peeing a lot. I read that that seems like a lot of water for a little bun so I was concerned that something else was wrong? The pee looks good In color. Could it just be from the meds and recovering? I was so glad to see him drinking more water and now I’m like whoaaaaa boy! His sister is drinking more but I don’t think as much as him.
