Hi everyone.
I already kind of posted this, but I think it may of dissapeared before anyone saw it.
Anyway..
we have a dental bun, but the last few weeks he seems to bloat up right after he's eaten.
His appatite is fine, and when he poops they look normal, he is drinking and generally himself, but I'm having to give him infacol nearly after every meal because as soon as he's eaten he will hunch and goes miserable, it almost looks like the food is hurting when it's going down, though when I feel his tum after he's eaten is seems full of air.
I have been giving him metacam, and infacol (which he hates and freaks out over) but I don't want to really keep this giving him this as I'm worried about the effects of metacam on his system and stressing him with the infacol, also the vet said 2 drops of the dog metacam, but I don't think that's enough.
He is prone to stasis, but he is eating, drinking, pooping and generally up to mischeif and being himself except for when he's eaten something and then just seems to bloat up.
He's been to the vet who said he didn't think there was a blockage, but said there was a bit of bloat. but it doesn't seem to be improving either, he's been like this for a few weeks now:roll:
He's never really been a hay eater and I don't know if he can eat hay properly because his teeth are in such bad shape but I always have a variety of fresh hay available for him, and he has small amounts of science selective every day/night.
I've cut out all veg for now in case that's contributing, but it doesn't seem to of made a difference.
Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions?.
Could a partial blockage cause this? I don't think he has a full blockage as the poop is coming out ok
Any replies, Info, ideas would be truly welcome.
Thank You..
Martin
