GI stasis is common indeed but it is not always easy to diagnose in early stages. usually with medications the condition resolves within 2-3 days, if it doesn't i would recommend taking him to your vet again. there is a very simple glucose blood test that can hints toward stasis or intestinal blockage that your vet can do as well.
