Earlier she was lying with her legs stretched out, but now she’s in her loaf position. Still waiting for her to poop. I’m going to call the vet and just see if someone can call me back. It’s 11pm here now.

I wound up calling the vet hospital after my last post. When I went to check on her, she was laying in the corner of our room, facing the wall, and quivering. Then, she hopped in her litter box, and raised her tail like she does when she poops, but nothing came out. She was also grinding her teeth when trying to poop. She was even refusing treats, which she usually goes crazy for. She was just acting really sick.

The vet who is on tonight, isn’t an exotic vet, but she does have experience with bunnies. She seemed very competent and thorough. She did an x-ray, and luckily, no blockage. There were a lot of gas pockets. Her feeling was that if it is stasis, we caught it early. They are going to keep her overnight to give her sub-q fluids and syringe feed her. We can’t do it because she doesn’t like to be picked up, and just runs under the bed, so to syringe feed her would be nearly impossible. I was always afraid the day would come where not being able to pick her up would be a huge problem. In any case, I’m glad I took her, and I’m hoping and praying they can resolve the problem and we can bring her home. Her regular vet, who is licensed in exotics, is going to see her when she comes in at 9:00.

Thank you all so much for your quick responses! I’ll keep you posted.

Thank you. She is still in the hospital. The vet called me this afternoon and said she was refusing food and only pooped 2 little pellets. I took her favorite veggies to the hospital, and they said she sniffed them and walked away. I also have this stuff called sun salad which she goes crazy for, and they said she tried a tiny bit of that, but no more. They are going to continue treatment overnight tonight, and if nothing changes by morning, they will do another belly scan and some blood work.

I just don’t understand it. The evening she became ill, she was fine all day. It seemed to come on so suddenly. I always thought with stasis (if that’s truly what this is), there would be a little more warning. I hope and pray she comes through this. She is our baby, and I don’t want to lose her.
