The prominence of certain breeds from our study reflects their popularity as pets rather than a specific predisposition to gastrointestinal stasis. The presence of molting in nearly 40% of cases supports the hypothesis that fur ingestion may exacerbate the risk of stasis. The most commonly reported clinical signs included reduced appetite or complete anorexia in 88.4%, lethargy 67.4%, absence of fecal output 61.6% and abnormal behavior (hiding or unusual postures) in 55.8% of cases. Radiographs revealing severe gastric dilation with ingesta-filled stomach in rabbits that has been anorexic for several days were suggestive for gastrointestinal stasis syndrome. Treatment was tailored to each patient and adjusted as the condition progresses, integrating fluid therapy, pain management, nutritional support, and prokinetic agents based on the rabbit clinical response.EnglishAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0)http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/anorexiagastrointestinal stasispainrabbitsApproaches to the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal stasis syndrome in rabbitsArticle2393-4603https://doi.org/10.61900/SPJVS.2025.04.15
