Very Gurgly Tummy

Mad Bunster

Nibbler has refused his supper and is flattening his belly, so I've given him two doses of Infacol and tummy rubs. But when i'm rubbing, theres a pocket of gas that just won't go - everytime i rub that area it gurgles like mad.

How long / how much Infacol before its a vet trip? Its been 2 hours since he started so far but he had his tea at 9pm which he ate fine and no there were no new foods.
 
How Is Nibbler this morning?My friends bun has just been through this he was in the vets for four days.

He started eating again at 2am but his tum still feels gassy, so i'll take him to the vets this morning. He had the same on Sunday evening although he improved after just 1 tummy rub - so theres obviously something going on here.

Is the meds routine for gas the same as in stasis cases?
 
Nibs has had a clean bill of health from vet... no gas was evident when she examined him, so have to just keep an eye on him - and maybe pre-emptive tummy rubs/ infacol.

He is moulting like crazy though, so he's probably a bit sluggish with fur, but it came on so suddenly.
 
Might get some Fibreplex in to give him... good idea.

Hes not had anything different at all - except a tiny bite of apple on Sunday which is what I put Sundays episode down to - but nothing new in last 2 days. All other buns are fine too.

The vet was showing how to groom him - and went to demonstrate.... I told her combs don't work on Nibs and she saw for herself! Somehow no comb takes his loose fur off - it has to be plucked out!
