GI Stasis | Rabbit Hospitalized :(

[Haybun]

Hello all,

My precious boy (9 month old) has been hospitalized Monday, Tuesday, and today is Wednesday because he refuses to eat, won’t pass any stool, won’t drink water, & is in lots of pain. The doctor diagnosed him with GI stasis, but I’m starting to worry about how long it’s taken him to feel better.

I spent about an hour with him in the hospital on Tuesday & got him to munch some hay and put out 1 fecal pellet. Unfortunately this morning (Wed) he hasn’t produced anymore..

I’m wondering if anyone has had their bunny hospitalized for this long due to GI stasis? Is he possibly not recovering because he’s stressed/not with me?

Any help would be great! I’m worried sick...

Do you know what the vet is doing/prescribing?

I just brought him home today, he’s starting to produce fecal, but he’s to take reglan (3 times daily) for 3-5 days & antibiotic (2 times daily) for 7 days.

Also 3 syringes of baby food daily (got carrot & sweet potato).

They were all very kind and seemed educated on rabbits.

Thank you!!!! He’s recovering slowly but surely. He’s so so sensitive so I believe that’s what caused this as he has unlimited hay and a scheduled dinner of greens w/ very little pellets but I have faith he’s strong.
