What if a rabbit stops eating and passing fecal pellets (GI Stasis)?

GI Stasis in rabbits is a life-threatening emergency causing rapid metabolic collapse within 24 hours.
Provide gentle warmth with a towel-wrapped heat pad. Do not force-feed if the rabbit is cold or unresponsive. Seek specialized exotic veterinary care immediately.
