My little guy had an episode of not eating on Monday - a visit to the vet and some fibreplex and he was back to normal but today, he seems off again. He wolfed his breakfast down but hasn't eaten since then and seems very subdued, so we have an appointment at 2:50.

Please can you spare some vibes for my special little fella. Thank you xx

Lots of vibes.......hope all is Okay at the vets...


Come on Rolo... get well soon.. xxxxx
 
Just got back - vet thinks Rolo may have urine infection :(

He's had an anti inflammatory injection and some antiobiotics and I need to give him some fibreplex if he doesn't start eating soon.

Any ideas for coaxing him to eat please xxx
 
Wet dandelion leaves if you can find any. We are really on our last few here now.

Try lots of his favourite stuff. Can you syring feed him? Some buns are much easier to help than others I know.

Good luck :wave:
 
Not good :(

He's refusing all food, have managed to syringe some mashed banana into him but he still hasn't pooed.

I'm a bit worried now and see a long night ahead.
 
I am very sorry to hear Rolo isn't well. I really hope he starts to improve soon. Its always more stressful when its on the weekend too.

Sending millions of pooing and eating vibes. xxx
 
Thanks everyone - Rolo is really not right and I'm sick with worry.

He has had a tiny bit of mashed banana and some mashed up pellets but he still hasn't pooped.

Vet was confident that his tummy was ok so I'm just praying that he starts eating and pooping soon.

He's still pretty feisty when we try to syringe feed him!

So if anyone can spare any more vibes, they'd really be appreciated.

Thanks xx

Is he drinking ? If not I would try to get some fluids into him. I assume the Vet checked his teeth ?

What made the Vet think he has a UTI, did Vet say he showed signs of his bladder being painful ?

Has he passed any wee ?
 
Oh poor thing and what a worry for you. Have you tried any herbs? When misfit was poorly I found that if I continually waved the herbs in front of her nose she'd get really cross, bite the herbs to push them out the way and then inadvertently eat some :oops: bit mean but got the ball rolling!!

Hope he picks up soon.

His teeth were checked on Monday when he went and she did say that they will need some attention soon so I fully intend sorting that out but she didn't think that teeth were the cause of this issue.

He wee'd this morning and it was a reddish colour - so I assume this is why she suspected UTI - I have tried to syringe some water into him but he's such a wriggle, it's really difficult.

I'm in a mess at the moment as I'm so worried.
