Muppet wasnt well this morning (not interested in me or food, sitting all hunched up) so we went off to the emergency vets. He had injections of metacam and metoclopramide around 11.00. These have perked him up - he's had something to drink, nibbled some hay and eaten a couple of SS pellets. No poo yet though.
But he's extra perky. OK so he didnt have his morning run round the garden but this time of day he's normally quiet. He seems pretty hyper - he's scampering round (on laminate, which he doesnt like, so he only bothers when he's frisky), throwing toilet roll tubes about, tossing hay, etc etc. It's fun to watch but knowing it's not 'normal' makes me wary.
Can the drugs* have this effect? I'm tempted to let him out for a good run, since the exercise will probably help his stomach get moving, but on the other hand indoors he's got food to nibble on more readily, his litter tray is here (he wont go in the garden!!) and I can keep an eye on him.
(*Last time he had potential gut stasis, the painkiller he had was opiate based so he just zonked out for 8 hours - I dont have any experience of seeing him with the M&M combination.)
