Hypomotility in rabbits (also known as GI stasis or gastrointestinal
tract stasis) is characterized by no or little movement in the GI tract
of rabbits, and this paves the way for certain severe and deadly
complications. Hypomotility is usually found in middle-aged as well as
much older rabbits, but rabbits of other age, sex, or breed can also
experience this issue.
There are certain factors that will
predispose a rabbit to have GI tract stasis, and these include improver
feeding regimen and diet, such as overfeeding with high-carb foods or
pellets and underfeeding with hay. Too many cereals, sweet foods, as
well as a diet that is mainly composed of commercial pellets, could also
increase the risk of GI tract stasis.
Anything that can lead a
rabbit to stop eating can bring about GI tract stasis. These could
include dental problems, pain, stress, cancer, infections, infections,
as well as kidney or liver problems.
Signs of illness in pet rabbits
should be brought to the attention of your vet Wichita, KS sooner rather
