Wise Old Thumper
I had Albie to the Vets today. His Snuffles has flared up this week quite badly. His nose/face/paws are wet and sticky. He's also had an odour to him and has been producing sticky poos (more than normal) Vet said he's obviously stressed, recently loosing his partner (who used to help groom him) so he's stopped cleaning himself and she thinks the sticky poos are due to a lack of fibre? She said to not overfeed pellets and to tempt him with lots of hay and leavy green veg/herbs. He's also lost 200grams in weight and is on the skinny side.
She's given him two injections today (baytril and metacam) and wants me to start treating him with baytril and metacam till he returns. She's also given me some bio lapis for his water.
Will see how he goes and change meds to stronger if needed. She said something may be underlaying but for now we need to sort his Snuffles and weight.
How can I improve his fibre intake?
