Lilac at the vet - possible stasis

[Orenoko]

Had to drop Lilac at the vet's this morning, she was fine last night, running around and ate her dinner
This morning she was super quiet, cold and wouldn't touch anything, even treats I tried offering. She even let me pick her up, which is a definite no-no under normal circumstances. I decided not to take any chances so have left her with the vet. They can't find any blockages or anything wrong with her teeth so are giving fluids, pain relief and syringe feeding her. It was a strange experience, I had to drop her at the front door and leave her there as owners aren't allowed in, it felt a bit like I was abandoning her! If she picks up I should hopefully be able to pick her up later today.

Really hope Lilac picks up soon, and is allowed home later today. Yes I would feel the same leaving Treacle on the doorstep, strange times ! Lots of vibes for your girlie xxx

You did exactly the right thing by getting her straight to the Vets. I hope that she responds to treatment and that she will soon be home x

Thanks all, I should have an update my about midday. She's had stasis once or twice before and I've never been able to pinpoint the cause. I bought a different brand of hay which she didn't seem to like, but mixed it with another hay she does like so not sure if perhaps that's the cause?

Rupert seems a bit lost without her, he's running around the house after me wherever I go honking and looking for cuddles! Talk about playing the sympathy card!

I very much doubt its the hay, as such. But maybe if she has not been eating as much hay as she should the lack of fibre has caused her GI tract to slow down x

Thanks all, I'm just waiting outside the vets now to collect her. She has improved all day so they're happy for her to come home with some meds.

Thank you for such a positive update. You will be relieved to have Lilac back home and she will be much more comfortable in her familiar surroundings. Sending more vibes for Lilac and hope that the meds help to get her back to full health. xx

 

[Orenoko]

Thanks, she seems much happier than this morning and has already had something to eat so hopefully she'll continue to improve.

Hi Jane, I just checked on her and found her happily munching on a hay cookie. She seems to be going in the right direction.
