Belle had been the vets. She has been quiet since getting up and wasnt eating hay or pellets. I managed to get her to eat 2 bramble leaves and she drank some water but i was really worried about her ears being cold and she looking like her tummy bothered her. I lay massaging her tummy and she got up and did mucousy stranded poos. I rang the vet at 1.35 and she said bring her staight in. the vet couldnt feel any blockage or gas ( i couldnt too when i felt) she said she felt pretty empty. Bella wouldnt let her take her temp. She said she has beautiful front teeth ( she even did her a yawn lol) She gave injection of metacam and injection of emeprid and asking if i think sub q fluids would help but bella has been drinking plenty. She has gave me a bottle of emeprid to take home and i already have metacam here aswell. She has done some poo since home but still mucous present.
Ive picked my lovely growing raspberry and strawberry leaves and she ate them so i ran round to my neighbors who has plantain growing and picked some of that. She left the vetch but is eating the plantain now. She has had a growth spurt to already looked thin aagnd gangly anyway so i will need to help her gain weight once this is sorted. Bleu and bella didnt bother much with the outside of the cubes i got, where as the others literally destroyed it, i would think it was the cubes otherwise. The only thing different diet wise is, they were so used to loads of forage, then they got none and i had to introduce veg, then i gave them forage again while still having veg. I really think its stopping the forage that has depressed her to be honest.
Bella has been eating on her own, not as much and still no pellets, but at least its hay and forage. Her mucous poos have stopped and we are now getting small hard poos. Im encouraging her to drink lots and im on the coffee to keep myself awake. Praying with all my might for my girl to be ok. x
i went to bed for a couple of hours at 8am why hubby took over but got back up at 10 to give her her meds, OMG it took us both ages but we managed it. shes ate strawberry leaves and raspberry leaves with no problem, some hay but not a lot and a bit of cabbage. Her poos are small and really hard so i have to get her to drink more. She doesnt take the syringe well at all. She has wanted to go outside so ive let her out for a little while and she is pottering about. Im trying to convince hubby to go foraging on his own because i dont want to leave her. He has just been looking up which trees/plants are helpful for certain ailments so im hoping that gives him a shove. He said he wasnt going foraging again after the VHD.
