So sweet little Daisy, my moms rabbit is quite ill. She's got GI stasis and refuses to eat. Now this morning she ate some parsley and basil but no hay or pellets. Does anyone know how to get her to eat them?
Sorry, I haven't kept rabbits for 35 years, I have no idea.
Wishing the bunny all the best, though.

Thanks! I think she's doing better than she was. She wasn't eating or pooing and had no bowel signs. They were feeding her critical care and yesterday when they took her to the vet again they heard faint bowel signs. Now she's eating a little bit and even had a little poo. Sounds like she's coming around hopefully! Just need to get her to eat some more fiber

Hopefully, she's just had a bit of a virus and will be okay in a while, it sounds more positive.
Fingers crossed here.
(though i'm very worried about little Cheddar the gerbil.)

Thanks. I hate going to the doctors. (For me)
I think some antibiotics might be needed though.
Funny. I have good health insurance, so it's mostly free. And when it comes to any sick animal. I go at once to the vets and it's always expensive.
I am useless at looking after myself. Our docs and prescriptions are all free, but I rarely visit the docs unless I am absolutely desperate and can't home treat. Animals though - straight to the vets.

Sorry to hear the poor bunny's not well. I've never owned a rabbit but how about trying the same as for torts, grind up the hay in a blender so it sticks to food she likes. mash pellets and spread on favourite leaves.
Hope Daisy is back to normal self soon.
