[emoji38][emoji38][emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]I think he did !! [emoji38]
We've now reached huge mushy cowpat levels [emoji51] the smell is horrendous, Clementine trod in some then spent ages and ages grooming and looking a bit confused tbh [emoji38] I did help her in the end.. He's nomming more hay too, his stomach is still not looking how it should yet but hopefully he'll just keep passing it all til it's all gone he's been stripping apple bark of twigs too

You're all saved I was holding Evelyn when Michael showed me so I didn't take a picture [emoji38]
I always feel like he'd do better with someone else to be honest. Because it's always so touch and go, and I keep thinking one of these times it'll be it but I'm trying to stay positive and give him everything I can

Thank you for saying that, I always worry ima let him down [emoji51]It is often touch & go with Atticus but you manage that brilliantly . If his condition ultimately defeats him then its his condition that let him down, not you. For now we can celebrate the poop
Oh no I'm sure that's not true, honestly they would've got the best care with you. Sometimes we can do our absolute best but the bun just is too unwell I think. Everytime Atticus gets sick I'm just winging it, I don't really know what I'm doing tbh, I just do the meds and keep trying different foods etc and do the fluids /feeds, it's what everyone does for their bun when they've got stasis. It just sucks he has this, because it's like mega stasis when he has an episode [emoji51] when the others have had stasis in the past it's completely different to an Atticus episode [emoji51] which does make it hard to manage /predict I think. Megacolon is a horrible thing to haveGraciee, You are the best person for him. I lost my megacolon twins and had to stop myself from thinking they would not be gone if they were under your care. I am so glad Atticus has you.
Yea I really wish more was known! I'd do anything to find out what was going on. My vet said a gut biopsy is the only way and he wouldn't do one thoYou do loads more than I can do for mine. And you know his episodes so well!
I think it's a pity there's not enough known about megacolon to help with more therapies and regimes.
