Question
I just lost a rabbit to svere gut stasis caused by Megacolon.  I am trying to rsearch this and am finding very little information.  Can you direct me to a place where I might learn more about megacolon in bunnies?  Thanks Linda

Answer
Hi Linda,

I have one rabbit that has this syndrome, but not to as severe an extent as some people describe it.  He produces both hard fecal pellets, and some mushy fecals.  He makes cecal pellets okay and eats those.

Here's a good page to take a look at.
