Winnie isnt well

If any of my guys turn their noses up at food I get them to the vets at the next available appointment as it's better to be safe than sorry. My lot always have their noses straight in the food when I give it to them and harrass me for pellets every time I go into the garden so if they refused food I would be really concerned. Has she got any other symptoms?

Hope she's ok :wave:
 
Have you tried making her run around, some tummy rubs, infacol/gripe water, tempting herbs etc?

With Clo I try these, if he hasn't started eating after half an hours (which is usually enough to shift gas with him) then I take him to the vets.

Hope she gets well quickly. x

Ooh, I'll try some herbs and tummy rubs quickly, thank you x
 
I would say, because this is a new problem, and you don't have a regime for her, that you should get her to the vets at the next available appointment (and sooner if she deteriorates).

Is she pooing?

In the wrong situation tummy rubs could make a condition worse, so only do that if you are sure she doesn't have a blockage or any other issue like that.
 
Next app isnt for over an hour, still no eating, Ive made her move an stuff but she keeps lying down, then fidgeting :? Should I take her and just hope I can 'get in quicker' or will the stress make it worse (she hates being in the carrier) :(

An hour is fine. It will give you the opportunity to monitor her condition and get her moving as this should help. The more information you can give the vet the better and this information is best gathered in surroundings she is comfortable in. Maybe make some notes whilst you are waiting so you can give the vet a full description of what has happened without forgetting anything.

Good luck.

If she's lying down and fidgeting then yes I would take her in. Maybe get there a bit earlier in case they can get you in quicker. How long does it take to get there?
 
I could get to Alices in the same time, she'll have some metacam and gut stimulant.......

Im worried, vets say theyre really busy (as its half term) :(

Please dont administer any gut motility stimulants until she has been examined. *If* she had a GI obstruction or bloat a GI tract motility stimulant could prove to be FATAL :cry:

A Vet is the best place to head off to. Sending vibes xx
