We first noticed a problem Saturday morning when Mischief turned his nose up at his breakfast greens. We kept trying to get him to eat and left banana, pellets and various greens next to him as he lay on their fresh hay.
It was a stressful day where he turned away from all his food until eventually he started to nibble on hay. Then he gradually started to eat the other foods. Later on he munched on some dried herbs and was much more alert by our bed time. He also passed some almost normal size poops so we were so happy
We had cancelled our day out with my daughter and grandchildren on the Saturday as Mr Chief was poorly and agreed we would perhaps go out today instead if Mischief was still fine in the morning.
This morning he guzzled down his veggies and we also gave them some pellets as we were going out for the day and he ate the lot quite happily. He had them at 10.30am.
This evening we came home and gave them their evening veggies and again he turned his nose up at them. He has since nibbled on a few strands of hay and ate a pellet and 2 pieces of curly kale but otherwise no joy. He has also been grumpy and growled and pounced at Phil a few times but fine with me as his main handler I guess. He has also seemed depressed and lying his head down on the floor most of the time and seems uninterested in all things except attention from Lillabelle.
He has passed around 10 poops late this evening and a few of them where bind together with fur. He is heavy moulting at moment and we suspect this is the cause of his GI stasis. He also pooped some cecals just now which he has eaten and nibbled a few strands of hay [emoji4]
We gave him 1 mls of Loxicom earlier and 20 mls of camomile tea. We were thinking of giving him some more but wanted to check first? We have not force fed him so far but wondered if safe to do so if he has passed a few poops tonight
Any feedback and good luck wishes would really help us right now. I actually feel sick with the worry. Trust it to happen on a bank holiday weekend. Just our luck as double costs today with vets! [emoji852]
Thanks everyone x
