Ok so on Wednesday my two bucks fought so Jager went with her brother to the vets to get checked up. Then last night she refused to eat her veggies so I took her to the emergency vets while I had to work night shift.
I got her back this morning and apparently she had eaten a little and had been given a metocl'ide shot. Got her home and started trying her with every tasty thing I could think of, eventually I got her to eat some fresh grass, that I had grown, and a bramble or two.
I ran out and bought her a snugglesafe as her ears were back to being cold again after warming up at the vets. As I had been awake all night and she had shown signs of eating I went to get a bit of sleep.
Since I got up I've been trying to get her to eat, she munched a tiny bit more grass (though I haven't much of it and she isn't used to a lot), wouldn't touch the ordinary grass from the garden, but ate another bramble.
I have some recovery food here but haven't used it as I'm afraid to make things worse by syringing her, and she gets so stressed out that I'm worried going back to the vets will do no good. Even Fleury got so stressed out that he would barely eat this morning.
Just to add that I have been putting a steroid cream on Fleury's ear since Thursday evening, and Jager shakes her head, always has done but the vets don't know why and have put it down to ear wax, but she seems to be shaking it more since Thursday.
Advice please I just don't know what to do for the best!
ETA - She ate a couple more bramble leaves.
