I managed to get Sapphire an emergency appointment for 16:00pm and she is being kept in over night for observation and to be administered treatment for gut stasis
The vet is very worried about her weight loss, however her teeth are completely fine (so still none the wiser as to why she'll eat everything but hay!!)...she took her temperature and that is fine, and her chest sounds normal too. She doesn't weigh as little as I thought (she is 1.4kg in comparison to Jamie's 2.6kg), however the vet said it isn't right that you can see her spine and feel everything The vet commented her stomach feels a bit doughy, hence the start of treatment for G.I Stasis.
There's a 24 hour vet nurse at the surgery, so I've got her number and will ring her later to find out any updates...which I will supply the forum with.
I need vibes for both Sapphire and Jamie please... Jamie has never been on his own since he met Sapphire, but the vet couldn't allow him to stay as they wouldn't be able to monitor specifically Sapphires pooping. I've left the blanket I put in the carrier in Jamie's hutch in the hope it still smells like Sapphire.
The flea issue is going to be treated secondary as I've ordered some of the Advantage stuff i as it wasn't in stock.
Please keep vibes coming, I am so worried she wont make it. They're contacting my previous vet for all the test results, so they will get to the bottom of it. I just don't want to put her through any suffering if she has to have all the tests repeated again
