Ho hum, Egg has gut stasis again - can spot it by the awkward way she is flopped on her belly...
She first got stasis last year - she went to the vets and stayed overnight, i've since sucessfully treated her for stasis with pineapple juice. After the first time, she had it she went down about 4/5 times about every 3/4 weeks. We changed their pellet food to veg (with hay all the time), and this seemed to improve things - she would go down perhaps once every 2 months, or less.
Then we had quite a queit period, but in the last month, she's been down almost every week. I thought it was because she had been eating the foam out of the sofa while free ranging :roll: , so barricaded that off, but she's just gone down again.
Only thing to change recently is Tesco's were out of spring greens, so I got sprout tops (but they've had sprouts before)... Tuesday is fine :?
Egg's poo has always been small... is it likely that there is something else causing regular stasis?
I could put them on hay only, but Egg has always been on the thin side, and she's just put a little weight on, so I don't want to cut the veg out if I can help it (oh - the introduction of Tuesday has brought Allen and Page pellets)
