Ok so getting back on to the internet could not have come at a better time!
Everything went fine with the move and Jimby settled in very well.
This monday just gone I took him to the vets for a check up and to have his molor spurs checked, teeth are still not bad enough to clip so going back in 5 weeks to get them done. He had his myxo jab done as it is due at the end of the year and I did not want to wait until we next go in and did not want to take him to the vets too many times.
All was well up until yesterday when I arrived home at around 4pm he seemed very tired and just lay montionless in his hay box, I let him out for a run around he ran under the clothes horse and huddled up, he was not interested in food and seemed very uncomfortable. I was STRAIGHT on the phone to the vets and they said to take him straight down, the vet thinks it is his immune system reacting to the jab, so he had a gut stimulant and a pain killer.
When we got back home he started eating some herbs and a few treats, so I stayed up with him until 2am feeding him up and reading to him.
This morning he seemed a lot happier in himself and kept flopping, he passed some poops in the night but they were rather small (to be expected) I called the vets and they said not to bring him in unless he goes down hill but it is a good sign that he is eating and producing poops so just keep seeing how he goes.
