my bunny won't each much and is not pooping very much to none

[Lisa Grbich]

Gizmo is about 5 years old and he has suddenly stopped eating and and is not pooping. He is drinking and peeing and he does not seem larthargic. I am going to try to give him dried pineapple and parsley soaked in olive oil.
Any one have any ideas what might be happening?

I probably wouldn't give him anything soaked in oil, if there was an obstruction the oil would coat it and the water wouldn't be able to break it up.

You could try some simethicone(baby gas drops) 1-2cc per hour for 3 hours then 1cc every 3-8 hours as needed.

Or you could try to make a slurry of pellets and water and syringe it to the bun, just to get something into his tummy and get everything moving.
Make sure he has ample hay.

I would for sure make an appointment with the vet though, when they stop eating and pooping thats really not good.

he definitely needs to see a vet - GI stasis is potentially life-threatening if not treated promptly... I replied in the other thread with some tips on what to do between now and his vet appointment.
