i am hoping its not the start of another full blown attack....but i have this sinking feeling it is...im hoping so hard it isnt.
for those that may not know..merlin has a terminal GI problem....he has what is known as inflirating fatty lipomas wound around his gi tract....and it is NOT operable..... the problem is a flare up means he gets terrible pain and tenderness....becomes a bit lethargic alhto may still eat. His poops are tiny ebcasue of this already..but they get smaller and sparser. There are smudges of excess cecals which theres not normally.
im terrified also because hes been sleeping in the hallway beside the lounge baby gate...he just wants the lounge..bertie and the cats back poor little soul. Hes been like that for weeks but the smudges are a weeks worth...
nikki found a chupa chup mini lollipop which freyas been nicking...and running round the house with...we have a bag rolled over and stuffed in a box...so no idea where these came from. personally i think from nikkis food box and she hasnt realised yet. a bunny has eaten a big chunk out of each lollipop..guessing its merlin. When he was bonded to bertie...they found nikkis christmas box...dragged the half a bag of glacier fruits out...waited for us to fall asleep and ate some...:shock:
i am going to see how he goes overnight as hes begged for and eaten his pellets and some hay....there are some poops....hes alert up here but semi concious downstairs..either he got cold...or he was too comfy?
if hes worse..off to vets..usually involves a stay of at least a week with meds..jabs..iv fluids etc.
if hes about the same then i will give him metacam and metaclop syrup....
fingers crossed.
