Hi,
I don’t remember your old posts but have you tried to cut pellets all together and try and introduce veggies?

Has the vet checked his teeth?
Has the vet checked his ears?
Has the vet done a barium X-ray?

Does he poop often and consistent sizes?
Does he drink enough water?
Does It stop right after the fighting and then starts back up 2 weeks later or does it last a day or so?
Does he get enough exercise? You might want to try and do some nightly agility stuff to make sure he moves a lot at some point during the day.
Does he have poops strung together with hair?

Stasis/gas is a symptom of an underlying issue, but I can’t think of anything else that could be causing this…

Hi there! I believe (please, correct me if I’m wrong)) x-rays are used to see if the bunny has gas or if there’s anything else blocking his intestine. When my bun had gi stasis, the vet did x-ray and she knew that way.

Just a crazy hipothesis. As he seems to recover fast, I wonder if there’s something that could cause the stasis. Maybe a change in his routine, somebody new in your house or even a dog barking..

The barium X-rays is when the barium is put down his throat and then X-rays are taken every couple of hours to see how slow his gi tract is moving.

I agree, maybe some outside noise that happens every couple of weeks like mowing grass or utility company coming by and it stresses him out. Other than that I have no clue as to why he’s Doing it….

That’s interesting about the “stress poops”. I remember a little bit of stress helping one of my past rabbits also. A car ride, the stress and movements would help him pass things. I wonder if your vet would give you some ranitadine to keep at home? Some member here have found that to be helpful in heading of stasis.

and at night and Apple Banana treat when I turn out the light. 

I have a friend who had a rabbit that just couldn’t handle banana. It always triggered a tummy episode for him. She had 6 other rabbits and they were fine with a bit of banana, but not this one. It could be worth taking that out to see. Then try taking the apple out also. Could you use dried willow as a nightly treat?

Because this is happening so frequently and cyclic, I do wonder if his gut is imbalanced. Have you ever given him some probiotics? That could be worth a try.

I also recommend having his teeth checked while sedated. (Obviously look at doing this when he is feeling better)
Its a good place to start when there is mysterious tummy issues going on.

Due to its cyclical nature, I very much doubt it’s teeth, or blockage, or stress.

I would try a probiotic. Chewie gets a tiny bit of yogurt pretty much daily (I know the arguments, and yet from experience with him and other buns, I see the benefits). Keep him on hay and water for at least a few days first, to do a hard reset on his gut.

You could then go about it the way we allergy test hooms: reintroducing only one food item every couple of weeks to see if one’s the trigger.

But I’ll be honest with you, though: cut out the Oxbow for a while and see what happens. Some buns just do not tolerate grains or soy well, and oxbow pellets and biscuits all have them. There are grain/soy-free pellets out there you could try (some companies are happy to send you samples), and you could easily make your own flourless biscuits or offer dried flowers or dried aromatic herbs as treats.

During en episode, though, dosing with simethicone and forcing the furball to run around and jump is pretty much the best way to release the gas. Toot toot!

Despite appearances to the contrary, a good grass hay is very nutritious for buns. So doing a hard GI reset (a few days of only hay and water) is no big deal. It just helps you start with a clean slate for slowly and gradually testing individual food items to identify the one that imbalances his tummy.

Probiotics like Bene Bac can be administered in food (sprinkled on top). I have some, but Chewie prefers a good quality plain yogurt daily. It’s what I used the one time in his life he had to take antibiotics for a chest cold, and his gut stayed healthy and happy. With most probiotics, you should be able to feed Jack rather than dose him med-like.
