Well.
It went okay for the most part!
Dog crate re-assembled at parents house, pen setup attached to it.
Biscuit then decided he'd like to scare me by sitting in the same corner and not using the (used) litter tray for 2 hours, but then the biggest pile of poops i've ever seen in my life, albeit a little small due to 3hrs in the car without water.
Lots of hay nomming and water drinking later and some fresh wet veg/herbs both were happy as larry.
Cleaned out litter tray, put everything back in relevant places.
Came down following morning to a very quiet Biscuit. He came and had his morning pellets and veg, but with not so much gusto and some fairly small black poops again. Kept my eye on him as i thought maybe he was feeling iffy due to travel/new environment.
He was VERY quiet. So i grabbed my mobile, ready to call the emergency vets Schuette had given me contact details for.
He seemed to wake up a little more in the evening and was binkying around with Ginger so that was me a bit more pleased and i just carried on monitoring him.
It's really difficult to explain, but he was not himself. I knew that much.
I didnt call the vets as the following morning he'd nommed like there was no tomorrow.
I then found a black sack i'd brought a load of their stuff in next to the dog crate with over 30 holes in it and bits of black bag in the dog crate :shock:
Brother then decided he'd say something !
"i moved it there this morning when i was tidying, then i had to pull it away about 30 minutes later as i saw him eating it"
My lord - Biccy had eaten a good 30 holes of each ~3cm in length of black bag. Ginger hadn't touched any, she doesn't do chewing/bags.
I felt so sick and started thinking about blockages, but i put in lots more hay and he sat there, and ate nothing but hay for a good hour solid. Very unlike him - i think perhaps he knew he needed it.
His poops have been back to normal now for a day or so and we're back home now.
Note to self: keep everything out of bunny nose/teeth range.
Stupid me!
