Wise Old Thumper
Hi, this morning we noticed that Rowan, our bun, didn't want much brekkie and was looking very uncomfortable. We gave her a syringe feed and infacol and then tried her in her run to see if she'd try any grass (normally she's a living lawnmower!) and nothing, I did notice her go a wee 3 times or so in ten mins with not alot there. We gave my vet a call and went on down there. Vet suspected cysitis too as her guts felt normal and she couldn't feel any sign of bladder stones so she gave her an injection with an antibiotic and anti inflammatory, and she has to go back for another on thursday.
A little while later Rowan perked up and is acting just fine now, munching away.
But - Lilly is now not eating this evening. It sat looking uncomfortable and I've tried loads of things to tempt her but she's just not interested. I had a good feel of her belly (unusual for her to let me do that) and, not that I'm in anyway an expert, but she didnt feel doughy or bloated. I'm wondering if she could have cystitis the same as Rowan?:? They dont live together - lilly lives with her sister holly - holly seems fine.
The only thing I can thing is they did have Coriander and Parsley for tea yesterday. They've had it before but not for a while. I've heard that parsley I think is high in calcium is it? or is very alkali? Could this have caused the cystitis? :?
Oh and I've called our vet and am waiting for a call back from her right now :?
Does anyone have any ideas?
