I've got a lot of questions so please bear with me....
Blue's just over six months old now and she's always been the smallest of the trio, when she was just over four months old I wormed her and all my other buns (panacur), literally over night she lost all her bodyweight, muscle and everything.
I brought her inside, phoned Charlie (My vet), he said as long as she was still eating and lively leave her be just keep her warm, should be back to normal in a couple of days.
Couple of days came and went, a week passed no improvement. Phoned Charlie again, was really concerned. Took her in blood tests, nothing revealed, Charlie said to give her as much food as she can eat in a day as she's still growing so it shouldn't harm her. :shock:
A month and a half on there's been no change, she's painfully thin, but her eyes are bright and she's so full of life. :roll:
She has up to five meals a day plus two tablespoons of oats to try and get some weight on her. Her coat improved but tonight I noticed it's got quite coarse. We're off to see Charlie again in the morning.
Has anyone got any experience with something like this?
Could it have been an allergic reaction to Panacur and why's she still like it now?
A bun in definate pain wouldn't be full of life, eyes bright, bounding around etc would they?
Sorry for all the questions but both me and vet are stumped.
Thanx
Gem and Blue x
Edited to add: I checked with the vet before worming her as I wasn't sure what age she could have it
