Rolo hasn't been himself today - I've had to hand feed him all day and he hasn't really taken much so it was an emergency visit to the vet this evening.

She was very thorough and checked him all over, gave him a shot of metacloprymide (?), teeth were ok, tummy felt fine, no blockage.

Anyway, we came home and he's eaten a couple of grapes - not the healthiest I know but he ate them without being coaxed so hopefully he'll be ok now but some lovely RU vibes for continued eating would be so much appreciated.

Thanks xx
 
Lots of vibes for the lovely Rolo.

Tessie refused her pellets recently and lay all stretched out. I massaged her belly (which she loathed) and gave her bramble leaves to eat, had to pick loads so all of them could have some. Snowflake was looking sorry for himself by then too and wouldnt touch pellets or hay. Luckily they both had some brambles oh and corriander.

All is fine now. I very much hope that the grapes are the start of a happily eating Rolo.
 
He's eaten a bit and pooped overnight so obviously that's a good sign. He's now eating a little bit of dried dandelion but he doesn't seem to want his nuggets yet. I'll be monitoring him closely but I am hoping that he's ok now.

Thanks everyone from me and Rolo xx

Is he drinking ? Getting fluids into him is very important to try to rehydrate his gut contents.
