Well everything was fine last night and this morning she took her meds no problem and ate all her breakfast!
Went to give her her lunch this afternoon and she wasnt a happy bunny again refused her food and grumped at me!
So i phoned the vet for advice on what i should do next and they said to keep an eye on her for a few hours to see if she picks up and if not to take her straight there!
I decided to try her with some gripe water as i used to give it for her gassy tummy and it worked wonders so i gave her 1ml along with some tummy rubs and syringed some water and let her rest!
Checked on her at 4 and she had picked up a little but there was runny poo in her litter tray! Gave her a Carroty treat to see if she would eat something and she took it from me!
Phoned the vets and they said to continue doing what i was doing (Meds, gripe water and water) and if she goes downhill at all to phone in for an emergency!
So OH took me out for a meal and got home to find runny poo everywhere in her cage! But she was looking much better, came to the cage, let me stroke her, nibble some pellets and had a run about! So i cleaned up her bottom and her cage, gave her more gripe water (2ml) her metacam, zantac and she was happy to take about8-10ml of water from her syringe!
1 hour later (about 9) i went to check on her and gave her another 1ml of gripe water and she took about 12-14ml of water from the syringe happily! She has eaten more and is happy to sit and let me cuddle her and she is running about!
Still not out the woods and dont want to jinx things again, got a feeling i will have a repeat tomorrow and if so its to the vets for some tests! Oh forgot to say, after the runny poop she has been passing normal pellets since! Ive given her another water bottle (smaller one) to see if she drinks better from that and ive given her a bowl too!
I just hope she improves more and we dont have to go through another no eating period its not nice at all
As for my boy Noah, well he clearly is a mummys boy he follows me about everywhere begs for nose rubs and is currently lying down as close to me as he can get He isnt so interested in OH :lol: glad he has settled in
ETA: Fudges tummy was feeling slightly hard this afternoon during tummy rubs, its now softer but i can still feel some gas! How often and how much can i give fudge gripe water? She loves it and gobbles it right up so im lucky! I have to disguise the zantac :roll:
