My rabbit won't eat anything which is why I took him to the vet.He pressed the rabbits stomach which showed no sign of pain so the doctor has given some medicine but I'm still scared that something will happen to the rabbit.I just want to make sure it's not G I stasis

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.
