Dougal not right U/D he's fine

He does not want anything to eat, and has peed on himself.

So I've given him Infacol and a tummy rub. Put him down on the floor to runabout and it looks like he's straining to pee pee. Bum goes out and the tail goes up and nothing:shock: :shock: Now he's lying on the floor.

Any ideas?

I'm sure someone will be along to advise you very soon. I'm sorry to hear your news and hope Dougal feels better soon.
 
Well he's straining to pee pee, done two wee drops. Have brought them in for the night and will be seeing the vet tomorrow.

Last time he just had gas but has never been having difficulty doing a pee pee.
Mmmmmm ec possibly, or a sludgy bladder (but pee pee was a normal colour not cloudy at all). Well I'll let you all know how wee Dougal is tomorrow.
Ps Mhairi is not chuffed being woken up and moved inside:roll:

hey nicole, howz dougal
 
Hiya Nicole. Hope Dougal is ok. I have been having problems with my lot again recently. Anyway, just to say that mines do seem to do this with belly ache.

Snuggly vibes to Dougal

Sorry I did not see this til now Nicole

It sounds as though Dougal has a urinary tract infection causing cystitis. He needs to see the Vet who will hopefully give Dougal abx and analgesia.
The Vet should also examin Dougal's bladder to check for signs of sludge/stones

Good luck and please let us know how Dougal gets on

Morning, Dougal has perked up. And has just eaten some Oxbow. I think I gave him too much broccoli leaves yesterday:oops:

Edit-now munching on a cabbage leave. Think I'll give the vet a miss. He is much brighter and hungry this morning. But will keep a close eye on him.

Thanks for all your advice.:wave:
