You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about.

Yes.
He's been fine all day. And just recently he's started to look uncomfortable. He's flopping on the floor near me right now. He's moulting a lot - he sometimes goes a bit like this when he's moulting. But he won't touch the pineapple I'm offering him. I have Infacol, but I'm not sure if it's actual wind. I can't get near him to hear or real - he just runs off when I try.

He won't eat.
He's running around, and doing some amazing dashes up the stairs. He's cleaning himself, and he's drinking. But he won't eat and he won't poo. He's obviously in some discomfort, as he keeps stretching his full length, then wriggling to lie the other way. I gave him Infacol - which he hated. I gave him natural pineapple juice, which he quite liked, but which seems to have d one nothing at all. His tummy is very gurgly.
He won't eat pellets, he snatched at some hay earlier, but I'm not sure he ate it, or just bit it in two. He won't touch the parsely I offered, won't touch clover, won't touch pellets. Last night he seemed to be sat eating hay, so I left him with bits of carrot & apple, to try and tempt him. None were touched this morning - when I came down, at 5:45pm, and wandered outside in my nightie.
He's going to the vet at 10am. I hate seeing him like this and I'm so terrified I keep bursting into tears and crying all over his head.

... oooh, disaster averted.
About an hour ago, I went to sit with him and was concerned that his ears were rather cool. So I picked him up and held him close, and then he wriggled free. After that, he didn't go off and lie down in the 'oh, my tummy aches!' kinda way, instead he kept running around. And behaving like my Barney in super naughty mode. He came and licked my forehead, nibbled on some hay and started doing binkies. Then he set about eating his clover and parsley, so I went to grab a handful of grass and some blackberry leaves and he loved both. He spent an hour inside, skipping around and eating anything we offered him. Fifteen minutes ago we put him outside in his run - he was taking an interest in electricity wires by that point - and Amber looked thrilled to see him. We left a pile of hay on the grass, and he sat eating it - when he moved, he'd done three poos. Since then, he's done about twelve.
Thanks for responding. .-. I was so panicky.

Glad he's feling better this morning.
They usually do bounce back within a few hours and look at you as if to say 'what's the problem mum?'
Bobby did this on Monday morning when I was due to be going away with friends. I infacoled and tummy rubbed and my lovely o/h said he'd take over from there, but Bobs was eating within the hour.
