  I got a sample from Sherwood Forest of digestive support tabs that includes vitamin B complex for appetite. I wouldn’t mind trying it with Lancelot, since he occasionally displays stasis symptoms that I correct with Benebac. When he gets his recurring bouts of EC and ear infections, he loses his appetite and I start to see tiny bunny poops. So I thoguht maybe a B complex woudl be good to try. Has anyone else tried B complex with their bunnies?

  When my Yohio had his episodes of stasis and had to go to the vet, they always gave him warmed up sub q fluids with B12.
  
  Dana Krempels says B complex can help: “B-complex vitamins, administered orally or injected, or Periactin (cyproheptadine) can be used to stimulate appetite. The former not only help stimulate appetite, but might also help supply what the bunny is missing by not producing or eating his cecotropes.” http://rabbit.org/gastrointestinal-stasis-the-silent-killer-2/
