For those of you who have read about Barneys trauma's over the last weekend you'll no he has been very poorly.
His appetite has picked up significantly today and he's been nibbling on hay, dandelion leaves and coriander (finally got my hands on some). He's also had a little bit of porridge.
He is showing no interest in his pellets though apart from to have a sniff. I've tried his normal pellets, science recovery at various consistencies and his usually pellets sofetend with water. I know his mouth and tummy are still going to be sensitive I just wondered if a. I should be worried about it? and b. any ideas how to encourage him?
I even tried some of the recovery on porridge and he wouldn't touch the porridge till I'd made some without it.
Also wondering whether he's gone off it cos he's been syringe fed it all weekend and he might now associate it with that?
Any ideas much apreciated.
