What is GI stasis (or RGIS)?
One of the most common medical problems with rabbits is when they suddenly stop eating/pooping. This is often referred to as gastrointestinal stasis (GI stasis) or rabbit GI syndrome (RGIS).
When a rabbit stops eating, usually their body temperature will start to fall, and their internal organs will become stressed. Without intervention, this condition can become life-threatening within hours.
