Bad poops yesterday and then stopped eating. We went to the vet and since then I've been feeding him every hour and a half and not slept yet :( he's done a couple of small dark poos in the last hour and a half but nothing else. Come on Rupert :(

I hope Rupert picks up soon, it's so scary when they stop eating :( I've stayed up multiple nights with Harvey before, it's so upsetting :(

Fingers crossed for him! And gentle nose rubs for him too!
 
Oh hope he picks up.
i know it sounds mean and i always feel horrible doing it, but making them move around usually helps make some poos.

sending vibes and hope you've managed a bit of rest xxxx
 
Adding my vibes. Can he be tempted with herbs at all?

No :( he took half a fenugreek crunchie off me last night but not today.

Here is his poo at the moment (and they are few and far between, but he did one while I was chasing him about the house) compared to his sister's



But the advantage of having to chase him about is that this happened


:love:
 
Rupert is gorgeous!! That's twice I have seen my bridge-bun-twin on here in 24 hours!

Paws crossed for him. It's so worrying when they are ill.
 
Just gave him his critical care and then he took some coriander off me! But only if I fed it to him and pellets were a no go. Might try and have a nap for a couple of hours!
 
Poor Rupert :(

Yes definitely have a nap. He has eaten a little something and a rest will probably do you both the world of good.

Sending loads and loads of vibes xxxxxxx
