well the vet is most concerned that her wiehgt has droped from 2.3 to 1.9kg (.4kg) and she is now underweight..i feel awful about this but she is eating jsut not all her pellets she still grazing adn eating hay and veg and hard treats.
he did visual check on teeth no visual problems. he has now taken 2 samples from her runny nose though says only the one nostral is inflamed and only the one side is runny. he doesnt suspect snuffles as she has little other symptoms but has not ruled it out. he has sent the samples of snot to lab for analysis one is a microbiological test the other a cytomic (or sounding similar) test. but for now she is on metacam, baytril, bio lapis and being fed additional greens he doesnt want to sedate her or put her under anestetic for x rays or thorough look just yet as wants to try all other avenues due to her respiritory issues(nose snot/inflammation) her being underwieght and her age (5yrs) he will use anestetic/sedation if other causes ruled out.
bit worried about her she ate baby food and lots of greens last night and is very bright in herself..though her poos are tiny hard and black she is indoors with arthur while she is unwell as keeping her warm is nessacery. any advice or thoughts on symptoms would be apprichiated. x
