When she was spayed the Vet said he could feel a build up of "poo" inside her.
He suggested a change of diet and plenty of hay..
Had her back other week, (dealing with another bun) weighed her, she weighed 2.15kg..
The following week, she fell ill, was just off her food, so i took her in, he couldnt pin anything to it so gave her an injection of Baytril and gave me some, to syringe into her - plus Bio-Lapis to keep adding to her water, he said he felt abuild up inside her and gave me some hay to try, an Oxbow brand..
At the same time we weighed her, she weighed 1.84kg, so that means she has lost alot of weight in a small space of time.
He didnt check her teeth, so back she went for a teeth check, he said they were okay
I am worried, as i feel weight is dropping off her and im getting no answers?
He suggested separating her from the group so i can monitor her poo's and wee's etc, but i dont really want to do this?
She is eating and happily sits munching on hay, she cant have lots of veg, as it seems to go straight through her. I feed her Excel and Soft Meadow Hay.
She just feels skinny.....
What would you do?
ETA - fed her alone this morning she finished the whole lot. I also kept checking her throughout the day, saw her sitting in the basket with Angelica munching hay and also caught her drinking as i changed the water..
We are also opting for the second opinion/new vet approach?
