3 blades of grass and Clover gets belly ache :(

Blackberry & Co

Wise Old Thumper
Just had to take him to the vet as he was stretched out in the litter tray, looking uncomfortable and refusing his treats :(

Normally I'd give him half an hour and try the usual tummy rubs, running around etc, but I'm a bit paranoid at the moment, so we begged the vet to squeeze us in.

He's had zantac & metaclopramide, and I have some liquid metaclop for if he's not fully back to normal in the morning.

He hasn't eaten yet. I put him back out with Dan as it's really mild here tonight and he will move about far more outdoors than inside.

*sigh*
 
Oh dear. :( What a moment to pick. :roll: I do hope he picks up soon and you can have a relaxing weekend. It's strange that a bun who likes eating so much is quite easily upset. :?

I know. He adores his food, but I can't give him all the things he'd love to eat as they upset him so much.

He had 2 blades of grass last week and was fine, but it is obviously getting richer, so he will have to stay off it now.

My poor wee boy :(
 
Aw, sending Clover lots of vibes for a quick recovery. It's always best to get them checked out, especially just before the weekend.:roll:
 
Poor little man.

The grass is starting to get richer here too I think - I really need to get the lawnmower on our back garden very soon as I'm worried Alfie and Bubbles will end up over-indulging as well.

I hope he feels better soon. x
 
He has eaten s afew bramble leaves and done a couple of poops :)

He looks much more comfortable now, although he is glaring at me to put the lamp out so that he can go to sleep (he had a hard evening sat on my mums lap watching soaps while she rubbed his tummy :roll:)

I won't be feeding him any fresh grass or plant growth until the spring richness had gone.

He and Dan are camping out under the table in my room - Dan is currently trying to dig the carpet up (thankfully I have put an offcut of carpet over the bedroom carpet :lol:)

Yay, glad to hear he is feeling better now! Sounds like a very tough evening indeed- what soaps was it? :lol:
