GI Stasis Got Oreo

Oreo is one friendly bunny. Often, she'll come out to check if she hears voices and footsteps.

On May 25, poor Oreo suddenly stopped eating and wouldn't come out of her favorite hiding box. My husband left work early to rush her to Chabot Veterinary Clinic in Hayward, where she was held overnight until Friday, May 26 at 2:00 pm.

 Oreo survived GI stasis, which is a common cause of rabbit deaths. She recovered quickly with the help of her medication and plenty of leafy greens and water.

 After two days, Oreo was back to her happy self, hopping all over our hallway, and in and out of the rooms.

 Here's Oreo enjoying the view on top of the Cottontail Cottage that she shares with her friend Peter.

 Thanks to Drs. Harvey & Neely of Chabot Veterinary Clinic for saving our little bunny's life.
