New Kit
Hey everyone, Im new here and so far glad I joined up.
I have a female 6 month old britannia petite called Princess.
A month ago or so she had a bad case of stasis and I very nearly lost her,
Luckily she fought it and I was able to nurse her back to health, It took a little while as she's a nightmare to
get meds into.
On Saturday she got poorly again and after seeing the tell tale signs i rushed her to the vets.
She had a few jabs ( cant remember what they were ) and sent home with some fibreplex and told to keep an eye on her.
The Sunday was not a great day for her and she wasn't interested in eating or drinking much.
Yesterday she was back to normal, Bouncing around, wolfing her food down, drinking and poking as normal.
Then this morning ( around 7am ) She was dragging herself around her cage again and off her food, So, Rushed her back in AGAIN.
Vet was very nice and helpful, He says he doesn't think she is 'prone' to getting stasis, More it could be her age and maybe it could be genetic???
Anyway, Ive got her eating and drinking again ( although she hasn't had many pellets ) and she's pooing ( they're a bit abnormal size/shape/dryness but she's getting there )
She's on a healthy diet of science selective pellets, occasional greens, fresh daily hay, fresh daily water and a dry dandelion/melissa/plantain mix as a treat ( also great to get her eating again )
And right now she's comfortable and looks relaxed.
The vet sent me home with some Loxicom for canines to give 6k once a day for three days.
Im also going to try a hot water bottle in a towel on her tummy when having cuddles.
The vet said she was spasseming ( spelling? ) but he got it moved really quick, which surprised him in that he said he'd never met a little bun that shifted the spasm that fast.
Im really hoping this is it for now and that she's really on the mend.
She really is my little best friend and I know we could have a good ten years of happiness ahead of us.
So please "bungod", if ya listening, Give my little thumper the strength to pull through the pain and get better Please xx.
