PipSqueak is 9-10 years old and over past few days has become very unwell. Her symptoms started with a slight loss of appetite which became a total loss of appetite, leading to weight loss, bloating and grinding of teeth. I cannot see any obvious symptoms for dental issues but given her age this was one of my first thoughts. Took her to vet. He said he could see some small spurs on one side but didn't think they were causing any problem. I pointed out that he couldn't see right at the back of her mouth, so maybe something going there.
Anyway he gave her an ultra sound, which he said did not raise any red flags. Also took blood test. Their x-ray machine is under repair at present, but when it's fixed he said they will x - ray her. In meantime Pip is being syringe fed, I have Metroclopramide if she needs it and sub cut fluids if she needs it. Also Metacam.
I'm wondering if she could have intestinal blockage,although neither vet or I could feel anything and nothing showed up on scan. When I got Pip she was hugely overweight as been locked in hutch most of her life. That coupled with her age made her unsuitable for a GA to spay her. Vet said there was nothing obvious on scan to suggest womb problems.
I am very worried about my old girlie bun. Has anyone got any advice please?
