Yes. He had GI stasis back around Christmas time. It came around the same time as a slight wheezing sound when he slept. Once he was through the stasis, I had him sedated to see if we could find why he was wheezing. He got full x-rays, blood work and some minor molar spurs filed. The vet said the molar spurs were tiny, but she filed them while he was sedated anyway. Since then his health all around has been perfect, including his teeth….besides this GI stasis issue. Well, that and the wheezing is still happening. But the vet thinks that may just be his “normal” now.

It’s evening now. He’s still disinterested in his normal activities and pooping very little. He also seems to have less interest in food than earlier today, which is troubling.

I’m starting to wonder if this is GI stasis. Oliver spends the majority of a day behind a chair in the living room seeming depressed. Despite his meds and pretty regular intake of food and water, he isn’t getting better. We’re on day 5 now and there’s pretty much no change.

Here’s the weird thing–he does poop in the evenings when he is slightly more active; and they’re regular poops. I just put our dog’s bed on the floor (which is, for some reason, Oliver’s favorite place to poop) to encourage Oliver to go to the bathroom. He hopped right up to it and pooped maybe 15 normal looking poops. Now he’s back behind the chair looking depressed again.

Last time he had GI stasis he just didn’t poop at all and seemed much less depressed. Is this still GI stasis, or is this something else? I guess I thought stasis was a lack of normal looking poops….

As of now he’s eating and drinking plenty. I read this forum a lot and I see a lot of people recommending baby gas x for their buns. Do you think that would be helpful for him?

I don’t want to overload him, since he’s already on cisapride and reglan.

Ok thanks everyone. His stomach is swollen, but he’s not sitting any different than he usually does.

I’m always such a wreck when he’s off. I have to go in to work today (which is a 2 hour drive away) and my fiance leaves for work at 2. So Oliver will be home alone in his cage for  5 hours today, which is making me so nervous.

This morning he had a few poops that were strung together. He also seems to have a decreased appetite. Fingers crossed that he’ll be better when I get home tonight!

Thank you for the vibes! I haven’t done simethecone, because the vet didn’t think that was important. He also gets tummy rubs regularly. I also work from home, so he’s out all day for maximum exercise time.
I still think he’s off. He’s not pooping nearly as much, and he’s far less active. Last night he fell over while trying to stand on his hind legs. I took him to the vet, and she told me that he’s probably just pooping in different places, so I’m not seeing as much poop. She says he’s no longer in GI stasis and may be acting weird due to some arthritis. So she gave me pain meds.
I’m not buying it. I’m obsessed with my rabbit. I know where he poops and how much. He’s pooping significantly less. He also is not experiencing significant arthritis pain. The meds make no difference for him. He can still hop in his litter box just fine.

I don’t know what else to do at this point. I know there’s something going on, but the vet says he’s ok. I’m losing my mind!
