a helpful tip for GI Stasis

[Ashley72]

A week ago my bun Thumper stopped eating, and pooping, I knew what this meant and took action right away, and researched like mad! I have an amazing rabbit book, and it mentioned chamomile tea soaked pellets. So every morning and night, I made a little bowl of chamomile tea for my bunny. I have to say and believe this helped sooo much! I didn't want to turn to medications, as I have read and seen some bad results because of them. I also got some probiotics to help with the accumulation of bad bacteria that was probably happening. After a week, my bunny is eating hay and pellets and veggies like crazy again, and poops are pilling up and looking normal again! Just thought I would post this, as an option for those bunnies that one day stop eating and pooping as much

Did he eat the tea-soaked pellets on his own, or did you have to syringe feed?

Thanks for the great tip!

He didn't eat the tea soaked pellets, but luckily he drank the tea by itself

thanks for the tip! I'll remeber this one- just had a problem with my bunny not eating for the last 4 days- wish I'd known this one. Thank goodness she finally started again!
