Yesterday I Was a Poorly Boblet..........

Jack's-Jane

Wise Old Thumper
Hello, Little Bill Boblet here :wave:

I just had to tell you about the tummy ache I had yesterday :cry: It was really horrid :cry: But worse still Jane started to stick needles in me !! :shock:
She kept saying how she had to do so to make me better but I am not convinced :? How can being used as a pin cushion make a Boblet better :?

Well, after lots of these attacks with a needle, having Camomile and Spearmint Tea syringed into my gob and being put in a strange room to 'make me hop about...... (WHY :? :roll:) I decided I had better get better cos tbh I was getting a bit naffed off with it all :roll:

I produced a lovely squishy brown poo and as if by magic my tummy ache went :thumb: Bad news is I cant have anymore Alfalfa and soft straw chaff :cry: Apparently it was the molasses in it that did for my guts :roll:

Anyways, here I am this evening :D

Lots of Love

Fascinated by the 'needles' and the tea -

Are we talking acupuncture here? I would be really interested to hear more as my vet has just trained in acupuncture but i did not know you could use it with stomach problems:

also do you feel the tea helps? If so I will use it next time we have a problem. Any hints about strength etc?

The 'needles' were used to administer Metoclopromide and Metacam as prescribed by our Vet!!
Our Vet does accupunture too!

Yes, I have found Camomile and Spearmint tea to be *very* hepful for Buns withy tummy ache. I use the Twinnings Tea Bags and administer it luke warm. 10ml/Kg every hour.
I also use Blackberry and Nettle and Raspberry and Echinachea tea bags also made by Twinnings

Awwwww, Precious Little Bill!!!!! I am SO sorry to hear that you have been feeling poorly......but VERY happy to hear that you are feeling better now!!!! LOADS of cuddles and nose rubs to you!!!!! xxxxx :love: :love:
 
goodness me herbal tea bags, whatever next :lol:
Actually it makes a lot of sense because they'd have access to that in the wild. Not in tea form though obviously.

I'm so glad Little Bill is better. :D
 
What do you use the fruit ones for - tummy ache again or other ailments?
Sorry for the interrogation - we liketo learn ;)

Some Buns dont like the Camomile and Spearmint but prefer the fruit flavours :)
Its really just a means of getting fluids into the Buns guts to rehydrate the gut contents making it easier for it to pass through

Ah

do you think camomile has a calming effect on buns in the same way as it does on humans?

Well I believe it does. Certainly Dermot, who has a terminal condition :cry: benefits greatly from a warm drink of Camomile and Spearmint Tea when he is feeling poorly.

I am a great believer in any complimentry treatment that will do no harm and *might* just do some good.

Excellent, thankyou :) I have always wondered about whether herbal teas were ok for buns and what effect they might have....but somehow never got round to posting a thread to ask. Ta :)
