Took my bunny to the vet as she was belly pressing and not really excited for food 😞 noticed her poops were smaller too.
Exotic Vet says she was mildly dehydrated & said he didn’t feel any blockage.
They sent us home with critical care, pain meds and a gut motility drug. And gave her all of that PLUS Sub-q Fluids
We are on day 2 and a half and still no improvement… I’ve only gotten her to eat a little parsley on her own.
2 issues:
1) Ibmaxed out my credit card with this vet visit – I have NO access to more money until I get paid.
2) I am gone 10 hours a day for work – so I’ve been force feeding the critical care in the morning, theb when I get home and i also set an alarm and get up in the middle of the night to feed her then too.
Pleaseeeee any tips or suggestions – my heart is breaking 💔

My guy used to get stasis a lot. This is what I would do: pain meds first; if they are in pain, they won’t eat. Then a cocktail of baby gas drops and gut motility meds every hour on the hour for three hours. A heated blanket or water bottle if necessary. I drench his fav herbs in water and wave them at him till he gets annoyed and eats one. Tummy massages, if he lets me. Usually he will be willing to eat a little after hour 4 or 5. No pellets, just hay and wet greens for the next couple of days until his appetite returns. Usually it takes about a week before he starts pooping regularly. I rarely use critical care, but I work from home so I can keep a constant eye on him. Being away from your bun all day is a lot harder on you and her
Try giving her a tummy massage?
