stasis :(

My sweet little Snowy has stasis. I noticed she hadnt eaten her pellets from last night and that was very unlike her, so I took her to a vet because my normal one didn't have any appointments for two weeks.

I hope she gets better soon too.
My PJ had gut stasis. He ended up at the vet 5 times in 7 days but he did get through it.

Oh wow. Im glad he made it through.

Snowy seems to be doing slighlty better as she ate some romaine and parsley, which I soaked in water. I syringe fed her some critical care for hydration and I'll be doing the same today. Might be a while until she feels good enough to be her normal self.

So much better! She's not gobbling up pellets, but she is eating quite a lot of wet greens and doesn't need syringe feeding. Im soooooo glad I took her to the vet, if I had even waited a day I bet it would have been a lot worse.

Ten? awwww! I hope my buns have long lives.

Snowy seems to be doing better. She ate a whole head of romaine and some cucumber. I may not have to syringe feed her today but I will keep giving her the cesapride until she poops more normally.

Right! We had a scare recently where he wasn't eating, but there was no stasis. Critical care, and he eventually started eating again. He's still got a lot of personality, so.... ☺️

I'm so glad to hear that Snowy seems to be feeling better!! Hopefully she continues this trend!

Why oh why must our bunnies be so fickle?
