Ok, apologies this will be a long post.
This morning when I went to feed the buns, Teddy came running to meet me as normal but Lola stayed where she was sitting in a box in their run. She still didn't come when I called her and when I went to her she was sitting very still and moving her head from side to side repetitively.
I tempted her with some pellets but she wasn't interested. She did however have some water and a nibble of grass when I offered these. She had also done a wee where she was and was sat in it. (Its unusual for either of them not to use the litter tray but not unheard of).
When provoked, she would move and moved normally just slowly and with no interest in anything, preferring to go back and sit in the box. We took her straight to the vets, who examined her and said there was nothing visibly wrong. He checked her teeth, bottom, spine etc. He gave her baytril and a painkiller as a precaution, in case any pain would stop her eating.
We've been out today so I left her with her snugglesafe. When we got back she was headrocking again, though had moved to another spot. The head rocking stops when she's moving or when you're talking to her (and when she was at the vets), it's just when she's sat on her own "daydreaming".
she may have eaten while we were out, but she refused pellets tonight, though ate a little basil and grass and is drinking fine. I can't tell if she's pooing, as they share a tray. the vet felt her tummy and thought it was normal.
She spayed, up to date with mixi vacs, due a VHD booster (was booked in for next week) and was panacurred 18 months ago. She's approx 3.
Any ideas what it is and how we can help her? Teddy still seems fine. i don't want to split them if I don't have too in case it distresses her more.
