        One of my poor bunny babies has been diagnosed with GI ? I’m so worried and have been sat up all night watching him and giving him his meds.

        How do you get through it? I feel so helpless ?

          It is really scary. Many of us if not most have spent waking nights watching a GI bun. This article about GI stasis is really great and offers tips on what to do. Things like keep warm, feed small portions often, clean litterbox so you can keep track of poop and pee, feed fresh herbs because that can entice a bun to start eating.

            Unfortunately he died this afternoon. I’ve never been so heartbroken. He was still a baby
