Hello!
My bunny Maple first had GI stasis at the end of July. After recovering, his health was back to normal. Over the past month, he's had 3-4 episodes where he's stopped eating and acted very lethargic for a few hours at a time. I've taken him to the vet twice with little answers as to why it keeps happening. The first vet said his stomach was distended, but in a gassy rather than stasis way. His last vet visit was a week and a half ago, and he's been healthy and happy since. I've cut out his pellets completely, feeding him lots of hay, fresh veggies twice a day, and I've increased his water intake by syringe feeding him. I also give him a small amount of Critical Care every night.
I'm wondering if there are any downsides to feeding him Critical Care daily. Is it something I should ween him off of, or would it be beneficial to continue in hopes of preventing another episode?
