Flopsy's not eating...

I got home from taking Billy and Emily to the vets to find Flopsy huddled in a corner of the crate:roll:

I checked her bottom and there's a tiny bit of soft poo but no evidence of any soft poo in the litter trays.

She's thumping like mad if I go near her.

If she's going into stasis, I don't know what could has caused it.

Well, I'm going to phone the vets.....

Is she annoyed about the others going to the vets, or can't she see them? You probably smell of vets too, so that might make her thump? She sounds more like something has frightened or stung her than anything stasis related :?

I had a similar scare last night, i rubbed Daisy's belly gently and kept her moving and it helped - she turned out to be ok but i had the emergency vet on standby - she pooped after about half an hour - if she hadn't would have taken her to vet.

Yes, vet is good idea - good luck and let us know how you get on - sending poo vibes her way x

Her and Moonshine are in the same room as Billy and Emily but they don't live together.

I've just been and fed her some dandelion leaves, which she ate. But I've seen no evidence of poo yet, and Flopsy's a lot bigger than Moonshine so I can always tell who's poo is who's:lol:

I'm just keeping an eye on her for now and I can always nip her to the vets later if needs be.

She's eating and pooing now, maybe she just had a spot of tummy ache or like Elve suggested had been fightened or I smelled of the vets.
