  Any recommendations for a vibrator / massager for GI stasis?
  
  Manual massaging, side to side and top to bottom, only worked a little once but jostling in emergency car rides to the vet seems to do well -_- so vet mentioned vibrator. I saw a post in search but it’s been a while and the link doesn’t work.

  I can’t really think of one, but if car ride seems to work, you can always try that? I would say it’s a calculated risk though as the stress of being in a car could cause the rabbit to become more withdrawn. That being said, pestering a rabbit to move even though they don’t want to tends to be very successful as opposed to just trying to massage their bellies. That’s typically my go to– I just keep pestering them to move.
