He's been to the emergency vets, we just got back. He's still eating a little, here and there, but he's 'out of it' quite a lot*, and he sniffs around at food and then decides he doesn't want any. Emergency vet couldn't find anything to indicate an issue, did offer to do more tests, keep him in etc. but they're REALLY busy (I could hear 3 distinct loud dogs in the background) and without anything to really go on, I thought it best to get him a gut stimulant injection and get him home. So emeprid has happened, and he's had vetergesic (* IIRC this might be causing him to be out of it? It is an opioid.). I'm kinda at a loss to know what to do
It's been so long since we've had to medicate him, and everybun else bounced back really quick, I don't remember how unwell he was for how long 6yrs ago!
If he's getting any worse we'll take him back. The emergency vets is very close to us
He was chewing his food really thoroughly again before going to the vets. less so now. Vet also said his back legs were stiff but not undulty so, and I did notice yesterday his hops were a bit stiff-looking, but then he was also in and out of pots which he hadn't been doing until Wednesday... We've left him with loads of food around and it's one of the times we've been glad Chibbs is the least food motivated bun we know XD We put pellets in the carrier to entice him in, and she went in and came straight back out, didn't even bother!
ETA gut sounds there, no concerns but I reckon they can't have been 'normal', no palpable signs of bloating or blockage, but I've not investigated for poo yet (he did eat a cecotroph before we went). We have recovery food if we need it.
E-ETA: I think I've found normal-looking poo
He's had a drink too
I reread the last(?) vetergesic thread from 2018 and I'm happy with how he's presenting and why he's been given it. Chibbs seems a bit worried about him
SHe doens't know what to do either.
