Update From Lou Re Cleo

I tacked this on to the other thread but was worried that folk would assume it was just my previous post..if that makes sense.:?

Another update from Lou. She passed the info on about Questrane, Jane, but nothing was done about it. Anyway, they've sent the poor bun home again with more metacam and recovery food and said that they've to continue the syringe feeding /warmth regime and "hopefully" she'll start pooing tomorrow, and that they'll see her again next week:shock: They say that the jelly/runny poo was probably a reaction to the anaesthetic and that the reason she's not pooing at all now is because she's not eating. But she is being syringe fed and what she is passing is very small watery and smells awful... She has been drinking from the bottle according to the vetnurse. I have offered to take cleo to my vet but I'm worried that if it is ME I could inadvertantly pass it on to my buns..

I assume that Cleo wont eat unaided and that she has not passed any formed faeces ?

I am beginning to despair of things lately.....................:cry:
 
That's right, although her hopes were raised this morning when she saw her nibble a piece of hay..but that's all. Since then, nothing..her guts haven't moved at all
 
Thanks for posting this Hilda,

For those who dont know who i am, im Loobie_Lou's partner Claire.

Just a quick update about our Cleo, she has been eating her critical care food that the vet gave us, also she has been taking water and her meds well. All be it aided by me but still she is trying :)

She has also been eating a small amount of hay :)

ALSO . . . she has had three poos, all of which had sort sort of form, although a little soft and mucusy.

Thanks everyone for all the help and advice that you are giving us at this moment in time :):)

Thanks for the update Claire. Things are looking a bit more hopeful, esp as she is now eating something. Fingers crossed and massive vibes!
