My rabbit recovered from GI stasis about a month ago. But a few days ago I noticed that his stomached started to expand. Sadly he developed bloat. I have been treating him with gas drops and frequent massages. So far he still has been eating and drinking just fine, but seems a bit uncomfortable. There are no vets anywhere near me to take him to. Any tips will help, thanks.

Hi .. My best advice would be to ensure he is eating lots of hay. Hay will pass through the system quickly. My bunny used to bloat frequently and I spent lots of time massaging his tummy, hands on both sides with very little pressure.
A tiny bit of pineapple or pineapple juice will help too. Bromelain helps to break down food quickly, though he will have some stinky poo.
All the best!
