Atticus, stasis :(

We have hay nibbling :D and a little extremely gross output.. Idc though I'll take anything atm.. Apparently it stinks, I have no smell atm though so I'm doing okay [emoji38]

I'm just hoping he keeps nibbling, doing the fluids every 2 hours still, meds due at 11pm if he keeps nibbling I'm not going to CC.

Hay nibbling is very reassuring :love: I wouldn't CC either.

He wouldn't normally get this, but he's eaten some of the watercress I've got growing in the greenhouse too [emoji7] I figure anything is better than nothing at this point

Water cress will have a high water content as well, which will be a bonus

Aw, poorly boys deserve special food :love: You can always replace the watercress.
 
Pleased he's nibbling Graicee. With a normal bun I would give CC but a megacolon one must be different. Keep it up Atty boy - we've all been thinking of you. Hope you're doing ok Graicee too xx
 
Really pleased to read that Atticus has started nibbling something. Hopefully he'll be feeling a bit better now he's passed the dung heap of evil stink!

Oh good, topping up the vibes for input and output - smelly or otherwise x

Oh yea I'm not worried about the watercress, I'll just prop more, I'm just glad he's enjoying it [emoji38] he doesn't seem to want anything but watercress and a bit of hay nibbling so I'm glad we've got lots :)

Just did all his meds and fluid he was really good, although damn it was tough, he was so good but between the shortness of breath and bump and having to lean over him, I had to sit back up again whilst he swallowed each time [emoji51][emoji51] he must think I've lost it [emoji38]

Yea it's hard to call with him sometimes, whilst he is nibbling and there's stinky output I'm not going to, cc will be last resort I think. I'm okay thanks, hanging in [emoji38] xx

I’m so pleased he’s doing better. I’m worried about your lack of smell though, did you give that as a symptom to the nhs? Sending lots more hugs and vibes xx

Yea I mentioned it. If you believe some reports it's a common symptom young people get with the mild form of the virus... Who knows tho tbh, I just don't think we know enough about all this, and I've missed the best time to test window so Idk really! It's a tricky one. My breathing got worse but not terrible and hasn't got any worse, so if I do have it, I reckon it's mild (hopefully [emoji38]) or I've got something else! Michael is not well either but has different symptoms to me, but also has the loss of smell thing xx

lots of overnight feel better vibes for everybun xx
 
I hope Atticus has continued to improve overnight ? x
Thanks for asking Jane :)

Been up with him checking lots and doing fluids, he's been nibbling a little here and there, and there's a tiny amount of output, I'm kinda wondering if he passed the backlog at the vets, but he hadn't been eating at all til the nibbling last night, so this is probably okay.. Anyway all was going okay til about 10 mins ago, he pulled his ear tape clean off [emoji21] I checked the catheter and it wasn't leaking or anything so I've re taped it up, hopefully it's okay, been a while since I've had to do that, I never want to do it too tight but equally needs to not just slide off [emoji38] he's back to nibbling hay so can't be that bad [emoji51] he's such a monster sometimes x
