i noticed her poos were a bit tinier yesterday but threw in loads of hay..dried grass and hoped itd help. today i colected my parts of an order sent to mums....

now im going to bed after first off helping give bif a dose of fibreplex....then my daughter gave bif the syringe id dosed with whats left of the metaclopramide syrup...and some infacol..cant do much more but added bio lapis to water and food as well and gave ehr a huge pile of greens...itll giver her upset tum but when i say huge is less than most buns get several times a day anyway but to her its huge.

i am aware of how the tum makes the odd noises when in gi stasis or makes no noise at all...but in the inbetween stage what the heck do i actually listen to and what is the warning noise before it gets to major gurle glop glop?

shes been very quiet but has shown enthusiasm for her greens and hay.....

see how she is tomorrow morning..if no worse then ill treat her as usual..poor old girl its her n me with tum probs all the time in this house...me with severe IBS and poor bif with her tum probs....empathy overload....cept i live on immodium and she lives on fibreplex etc....:lol:

which section is best to listen to as with my ear i kinda start up under her front paw pits and slowly work my way down to around middle space befor reaching back legs..but her furs so thick i may lose the stethescope:oops::lol:
