Hi!
Please follow our detailed advice for gut stasis care and treatment; gut stasis can develop as a secondary issue if there is another problem.
Any piggy that is no longer able to process food will be reluctant to accept any. With GI stasis it is very much a matter of persisting until your piggy is out of the woods, which can take a few days or even a full week.
it is a very encouraging sign that your boy has started to nibble food on his own; it means that the guts have started up again. Please persist with syringe feeding until his weight and poo output (which will initially reflect the gap) have normalised again.
Bloat, GI Stasis (No Gut Movement) And Not Eating
Here is our emergency, crisis and bridging care link. I have bundled all the relevant information together in order to give anybody with a serious ill piggy as much help with the least amount of time wasted on research and not on their piggy.
It also makes a good resource to prepare for the case of an emergency. Sooner or later they will happen, but never in a form that you can anticipate. GI stasis always happens out of the blue.
