So during the molting times of the year, my rabbits shed a lot! Like many rabbits do. Sometimes they end up having GI stasis due to hair in their digestive trap. I got too distracted during the last weeks of the semester and failed to notice Mimzy getting increasingly worse with molting. He would eat romaine lettuce but no pellets or hay so I had thought maybe he was working through it because sometimes it does pass over 24 hours. I saw he had pooped and but not a lot and they were rather big. He continued to not eat or poop after though within 12 hours so I decided it is best to not risk it any longer and take to the vet. He got backed up and the long wait had much worse effects because pain medication usually is all that is prescribed to get him to eat. Since we were later taking him he was in a lot more distress and build up. They gave us everything that would help him. They did an x-ray as well and ill admit it was good to see what actually was going on. They were helpful and polite altogether. BUT this is where I’m a bit fuming because this isn’t my usual vet. We take him to see a vet who sees many animals and at most that bill is 150 to 200 in cases of emergency. This one was nearly 300 dollars. I can get over it since it was an emergency and Id rather him live since the regular vet couldn’t get him in till 9 AM the next day. The doctor asked us his diet and I said he eats Sherwood rabbit food pellets, timothy hay from tractor supply ( a farming store source) and romaine lettuce with the occasional treat of some maybe banana or strawberry. It’s only if they are washed or I want them distracted though. This vet went on to distress to switch to Oxbow hay and pellets. He claimed they are better and he sells them at his place for cheaper. I told him my brand again, and I even had the pellets to show him which he glanced but didn’t observe. He pushed a lot for us to switch the food and told us that romaine was bad for bunnies. He said collard greens are good and I’m very skeptical about because I’ve read they cause bladder sludge. He said sugar is bad for them which I know this and am very afraid to feed any fruit to them except in times of need. He said to never ever give it to them. 40% of the conversation was switching his feed. The hay I get from the farm sourced store is greener and fresher than Oxbow. He also saw the hay in his carrier himself and the hay outside being sold in his office is so much duller in color. Oxbow vs Sherwood it comes down to that Oxbow has lighter less fresh smelling pellets. They also have a soy base for Oxbow. Sherwood is higher than fat by 3 percent but my rabbits have never turned their nose to eat and all at healthy regular weights. He claimed another rabbit was on that food to and switched and is okay now. (I’m really doubting it) I’m like 90% sure my rabbit had too much shedding and its a hair issue of brushing not a diet issue. I bought a really good brush today to make sure all hair is gone and I mind the shedding more because it would solve this issue. 
Id say my rabbits have also had stasis because of hair alone 3 times before this. And typically they all had smelly mucus like poops after when getting over it in the very beginning. This vet claims to come back because that isn’t normal with stasis and is a parasite infection. I’m sitting here thinking but it is okay for them ?? I didn’t question or argue and we left with what we needed. He wants us to come back for a checkup but being myself I think he gave me a sales pitch in a time of need for my animal and its sent me into all kinds of questioning but my gut is telling me this is fishy! he supposed to be professional and helpful but this seems wrong to me I’m looking for second opinions to know maybe it’s not just me is all
