Wise Old Thumper
a few hours ago, out of nowhere, he had his 'look' (he does the same look everytime something is wrong) so i tried to check him over and he ran away, didn't run over for probiotics which he loves, so i was worried. he went and sat in the litter tray and refused to move.
i managed to pick him up from the tray so knew that things weren't good as he never lets me do that.
got him on top of the cage and started checking him over. listened to his tum as i thought he might have gas but there was next to no gut sounds at all! :shock: he then refused my offerings of parsley. :shock:
i gave him a quick tum rub, some maxolon and metacam. he loves both so took them from the syringe no problem. then he seemed to want kisses and hugs. he's been very clingy to me today and yesterday, like he wanted to tell me something.
within 20mins of having the meds he was interested in food again and has gradually eaten more and is running around again now.
phew!
i'll keep an eye on him obviously but i was worried for a while there.
