Hi everyone,
Ludo had a bit of an accident this morning, he won't be eating that particular veg again that's for sure!
He got a big smelly caecotrophe stuck on to his bottom and slightly onto his foot. He's easy to handle and pick up so I just used some kitchen roll to pull the lump off and wipe the worst off his bottom and foot. He then sat and was washing his foot. I cleaned all of his house because he'd trodden some into his bed.
He's a good groomer so I'm hoping that he'll clean off the rest, but if he doesn't what would people recommend to just gently wash the tiny patches that are still dirty? Just warm water and a flannel?
I'm not worried that this is a health issue as he's only young and tried a new veg last night which clearly didn't agree with him. All his poops are normal and healthy and there were no other caecotrophes anywhere else. I know his teeth are ok as they've not long been checked and he's eating his hay/pellets normally.
I'd just like him to be his usual spotless self, especially as I don't think he'll be allowed onto the sofa until then! (Especially after a stray poo was found on the kitchen floor yesterday :lol::lol
Thanks
