Meadow and Grace will be going home tomorrow, their stay with us was extended for a few days as Grace was unwell for a while. She is feeling much better now and we are pleased that she has recovered from her incident of gut stasis. This can be quite painful for bunnies and veterinary advice/treatment needs to be sought very quickly or the condition can become quite serious. This can be brought on by stress, change in diet and a number of other things. Some rabbits are prone to this and owners should be aware of this fact. If your rabbit stops eating for even the shortest time this would indicate something is wrong. Rabbits by nature tend to graze on hay or grass for a large part of the day and if, for any reason, they refuse food you can be sure there is something not quite right. You can see from the one picture of Grace she is quite uncomfortable from the way she is lying on the floor.
