I took Pippin for his vaccinations last night - we went to a different practice as the previous one wasn't very disabled friendly.
I asked the vet how much metaclopromide he should have in the event of stasis, I was quite surprised when he said if they get stasis just to bring them inside and keep warm, and it should pass. He added it was usually caused by eating unfamiliar food - but I know it can just happen too as I'm always very careful to introduce foods/changes slowly, plus mine are have always been house rabbits so in a warm environment anyway.
My previous vet gave me the megaclop which I've always found fantastic, and makes a difference within an hour. I've got plenty of it in - but Paddington was a rather large bunny so I I'd wanted to check the correct dose in the event of anything happening.
It made me wonder if perhaps he wasn't very rabbit savvy?
