Ok, we’ll say it. Infant gas drops don’t actually help bunnies experiencing G.I. Stasis.

For years, vets and reputable rescues have been saying the same thing…they don’t actually help.

There’s no scientific evidence that gas drops (simethicone) breaks down gas bubbles or stops pain within a bunny’s G.I. system. Humans, yes. But the gas bunnies create, no.

If you want to help them break up their gas bubbles, encourage them to move around.

In fact, when stasis occurs, it's usually due to dehydration, stress, or improper diet. Not gas buildup. Simethicone doesn’t target the root causes.

They’re harmless if you choose to give them, but the truth is they’re more of a placebo for us as worried bunny parents.

The real treatment for stasis involves hydration, pain management, critical care, oftentimes a heating pad, and occasional veterinary intervention. Studies show that 80-90% of stasis cases can be resolved with supportive care like fluids and gut motility drugs when advised by a veterinarian.

So, while gas drops won’t hurt your bunny, they’re not the miracle fix people make them out to be. If you feel better giving them for peace of mind, that’s fine, but it’s not a solution for stasis. The antiquated idea that gas drops are a main solution for stasis is harmful for your bunny.

That’s why we don’t stock infant gas drops at Dolly’s Dream Store. We consulted with veterinarians, rescues, and other experts before deciding they aren’t a necessary part of a bunny parent’s emergency kit.

Instead, consult your veterinarian at the first sign of stasis so that your bunny can receive proven methods of treatment.

Here is one of the many, many scientific studies done on this topic: https://avmajournals.avma.org/view/journals/javma/255/7/javma.255.7.837.xml

OOPSIE LITTERS !!!!!!
The dreaded words that all rescues hate. Yes sometimes there are genuine oopsie litters but they should be the exception not the rule!
If your bunny is having her 2nd or 3rd "oopsie" and you run to the vet for an abortion your moral compas is non existant and you SHOULD NOT HAVE PETS.
Vets study for years because they want to save animals not kill innocent babies before they have taken a breath and you who think "its part of their job" should join the next abortion and YOU put the needle in that baby because OOPSIE its your mistake she wasnt fixed you should FIX your mistake. There are really awesome responsible caring pet owners doing over and beyond for your own and rescue pets. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!!!! Please educate yourself by reading loads of info on the necessity of having bunnies fixed then SPREAD THE WORD FAR AND WIDE. We hardly have enough resources to properly care for the bunnies already here. Lets prevent OOPSIES.
These 2 black buns are unwanted pets when i collected them the owner blabbed out Oh dont worry they are IN GOOD CONDITION.
REALLY?
they are not fixed
they are super over weight due to overfeeding pellets
they both have pasteurella
and one has a hole in her neck which apparently they didnt see
These are potentially the "good loving homes" your oopsies are going to.

Please find it in your heart to sponser the "dumped" oopsies that is not cute and cuddly anymore discarded for whatever reason. It matters to that bunny to give them a better quality life
