Carol and Gregory
Mama Doe
Just been to teh vet for Gregory to get his VHD jab. I mentioned that he had been drinking and weeing rather more than usual.
She felt his bladder which she said felt fine - if EC is causing bladder troubles it would probably feel funny she said.
She weighed him and he was 2.1kg which she was ok - this means he shoudl drink around 100mls of water a day - he's been drinking up to 300mls.
She said she could check for EC and other kidney troubles, but because of his temprement (he's a bit jumpy and doesn't like being handled), he would have to be asleep for them to take a blood sample as there is no way he would let them stretch his neck out for long enough when awake.
I have to take him back for his myxi in 2 weeks and consider this in the meantime - or go back if he shows any other signs of EC.
Any advice gratefully received!
