Quickthorn is back from the vets but his undiagnosed not eating and laying down is turning into a mega stomach problem with either impaction or blockage meaning that his stomach is getting larger and harder.
he has had everything the vet can give him - buscopan followed by metcalopromide - and syringe feeds (they did not suspect blockage) and sub cut fluids - but since getting home he has been much worse again.
I am giving infacol and stomach rubs on a hot water bottle and apple juice in case it is impaction .
Because of not eating eh was not given pain killer so i did give a small amount of metacam after his syringe feed but he still seems in pain.
the emergency vet will not be able to do anything else - and I just don't know what to do except sit here and tummy rub with one hand and type with the other.
