Tinsel
Wise Old Thumper
I had an awful shock yesterday because when I fed the shed buns Captain Carrot just stayed where he was and didn't show any interest in eating whasoever! This is totally unlike him so I took him straight to the vets after giving him some metacam and syringe feeding him a little critical care.
By the time we got there the spring greens I'd put into his carrier had mysteriously vanished, and the vets gave me a free sample of pellets (excel which he has at home) which vanished pretty swiftly. The vet examined him really thoroughly, especially his teeth/listened to his stomach (gentle gurgles) and watched him hop round for five minutes but couldn't find anything wrong with him. By the evening he was eating normally, and he's been acting/eating normally today.
Anyone got any ideas what could have been the problem? It meant I was three hours late setting off for a journey to Oxford and back - just couldn't go with him ill :? But now my family's saying he's a norty malingerer! :shock:
