no poos all day

luna21 · Jun 25, 2011

I noticed the amount that Gizzy was pooing started decreasing yesterday and today there isn't any poos in his litter box or near his favorite spot, actually I only found one and its no smaller than usual:? he is drinking fine but hasn't been eating too much since yesterday and doesn't seem to be distressed or look as if he's in pain as he has been doing the bunny flop and has not been scrunched up or anything. I'm really not sure what to make of it, could it be the start of a G.I. stasis?

Might be stasis--keep a hawk's eye on it just in case or start some preventive measures.

If there is no improvement in the next day I would take him to the vet right away, this sounds like the start of stasis- eating less, little to no poops. Them bunnies are masters of hiding their pain, so he could be painful but not showing it. if he isnt better by morning I would take him to the vet to see whats going on with him

Personally, I'd be treating him with simethicone, probiotics, and/or papaya or pineapple juice. How does his stomach feel? Is it hard or squishy? Is it making loud gurgling sounds at all?

I wouldn't wait until he has full blown stasis to start treating him. It may be too late.

The little bugger has started pooing again and he's been rambunctious all evening, and he's eaten all his dinner, sorry about that guys, premature panic on my part. I was ready to call the emerge clinic by tonight if it had continued.
