Went out to clean out hutch today and noticed that Gloria had a matted bit of fur so got a brush mitt and brushed her a bit. She didn't seem too bothered which surprised me. Later in the day, I went out and I noticed her lying on her stomach. Went to give her a noserub and she didn't run away like I expected. She went under the hutch and I was able to stroke her without her moving. This made me wonder if she's feeling OK. She went over to her favourite corner and I gave her a little sprig of Brocolli, but she wouldn't eat it. Alarm bells are now flashing.
I have brought her into the kitchen in the single hutch and put it against the radiator. Given her a bowl of water, pellets, hay and a few bits of spring greens to tempt her. But I don't know whether she is just upset at coming into the house and being handled or if she is ill. I have felt her tummy and it feels like a tummy to me. What do I look for? It is quite round but not hard. She feels warm and is quite perky. She's inspecting her hutch and ripped up all the newspaper in her carrier while I got the hutch arranged. I'm not sure if I am over-reacting.
Sunday
She ate something last night and did two little pellets. Looked fed up indoors so as it was fine here let her go outside. She did some poos and ate some pellets. She has been hopping around and looks happy - even a binky or two. Hopefully it was just me being over-protective as I had a bun go the GI stasis way before so panicked.
