  Hello bunny owner,
  
  My sisters two, 1 year old, mini lop rabbits recently got gi stasis. My sister works at a vets office and is able to administer fluids and give critical care. She already got her male rabbit out of it but her female rabbit is still very ill. She has been feeding them every hour and the rabbit is still willing to eat. Two days ago she lost use of her back legs. I was wondering if anyone else has had an bunny experience paralysis with gi stasis and if their rabbits have come through of it. We are trying to decide whether it is time to let her go. -Thank you

  EC can sometimes present as stasis initially. I would suggest she consider EC as a possibility for both rabbits, especially since the one is experiencing hind end weakness/paralysis.
  
  Treatment is relatively inexpensive. Panacur for 28 days, plus a NSAID to help with inflammation. Then supportive care for secondary symptoms.

  That’s what I thought too. She decided it would be best for her to put her down. She is doing very bad and she doesn’t want to put her through any more stress.

  I’m very sorry for her loss. 🙁 It might be a good idea to treat the surviving rabbit for EC, or at least be prepared to in case he starts showing symptoms.

  Thank you for the advice. He’s fully recovered now but I will let my sister know.
