since we adopted bluebell shes had a problem every now and then...she gulps down too much and it goes down the wrong way..and she kind of coughs.
its not very often...maybe once a fortnight...seems ok..her lungs sound clear the vets have said. But after losing her sister like we did and bluebells many bouts of unexplained pyrexia (abnormally high fever of no obvious cause) and anorexia have been a worry.
shes getting ill again...shes attacking the cats again....she obviously feels threatened when shes ill and attacks them for no reason. when shes better shes ok.the odd lunge but thats all..they might be eating her food or touching her bertie:lol:
well last night we decided shes in need of meds....metacam..metaclop and panacur......except she fought so hard..the metaclop went down too fast..she was sat upright on the settee not on her back i hasten to add.
She did the coughing thing for a minute or so...then ran off on the cat hunt..up the stairs..down again...ate drank washed bertie..humped bertie...seemed ok..then she lay in the litter tray dead stil and kept "coughing" intermittantly.
2 different vets both said if it was aspiration of medecine they couldnt help her anyway:shock:
she had two coughs then a break of maybe 10 mins..maybe half an hour..but she was still lucid.
the second practice vet was lovely...said if no change in hour then rush her in...or if shes still like it but not bad then bring her in then.
The one thing both vets did mention is that it maybe her throat not a cough....some weird gag type reflex...poss a pouch grown in her throat:shock:
i have been watching her all day and not heard anymore noises..luckily!!
but i will ring vets monday to see one of the bunvets at emsworth...bertie needs his ducts flushing and maybe another lot of depocillin or a few alomyacin jabs.
its so odd..ive never heard another bun do this...anyone?
