Gastrointestinal Stasis (GI Stasis)

关于这种疾病

A life-threatening condition in rabbits where the digestive tract nearly stops moving, causing food and gas to accumulate. Symptoms can deteriorate within hours, making prompt action essential.

主要症状

Marked decrease or complete loss of appetite
Reduced or absent droppings
Bloated abdomen with decreased or absent gut sounds
Hunched posture, reluctance to move, or teeth grinding

主要原因

Insufficient fiber (hay) intake
Stress or sudden environmental change
Lack of exercise
Secondary gut slowdown due to pain or another illness

预防（饲养环境与日常护理）

Providing ample hay (such as timothy) daily to ensure adequate fiber intake is the single most important preventive measure. Allow sufficient space for regular movement, and maintain a stable, low-stress environment. Monitoring food intake and droppings daily helps detect early changes before the condition becomes serious.

请尽快就医

动物医院会进行什么治疗？

A veterinarian will assess gut motility through palpation and auscultation, and X-rays may be taken to evaluate gas accumulation. Supportive care — including fluid therapy, motility support, and pain management — is provided based on the rabbit's condition. Hospitalization for monitoring may be recommended.
