Hello all, sorry I haven't been on in quite a while, but I think Amy is having an episode of gut stasis; she didn't want her breakfast this morning, nor a treat or even her pellets, and is quite alert but obviously uncomfortable and hunching. We'll be heading to the vet's soon, see what it is (and I'll remember this time to ask for painkillers, she had an episode before), but I am obviously anxious and thought I'd post here. I think I'll get her in the carrier now.
ETA: Back from the vet's. Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts, it is greatly appreciated. The vet examined her (including a thermometer somewhere intimate), checked her teeth, listened to her heart etc, and said that there didn't seem to be a blockage or any obvious infection. He gave her a couple of injections; a gut stimulant and an antibiotic/painkiller (emeprid and loxicom, if those mean anything specific), said that if she hadn't passed by this evening I could try her on some Critcal Care and to come in the morning for more treatment if nothing had happened by them. He seemed quite knowledgable and informative.
It's cage cleaning day so I'll go do that now. Mum can watch her whilst I'm busy.
