He's still feeling sorry for himself 
Have syringed some water into him but apart from that tiny bit of parsley earlier I've not seen him eat. Keeps hunching himself in corners either under my desk or under their table so I keep nudging him to get him moving. It's not very easy, takes a lot of nudging to get him to move which is unlike him.

Yes and yes :thumb:
He had some pellets about half 1 so I decided to go to bed. This morning I was greeted with the usual mad dash for pellets from both of them. :thumb: Just need to keep an eye on him for poos now. I'm pretty sure he has been cos there are some dark poos in the trays but can't be certain until I see him on there and then a pile of poops where he was.
Wish I could get to the bottom of what is causing these episodes. :? I'm definitely going to ask Mark at their myxo jabs if I can have a small bottle of metacam to keep at home to try before whisking him off to the vets which is stressful for him.

Could be. Whenever I see stringy poos from one of mine I give them all a chunk of fresh pineapple each. Throughout summer I give them so e every other week as Im petrified of blockages (lost Tilly to one
) It might be an idea ifSmudges tum handles occasional fruit ok? X

I did think about that but whenever I've seen it mentioned on here there seems to be varying opinions on it. Though thinking about it he didn't have stasis when I used to give these...

Yeh opinions are very mixed when it comes to giving pineapple. Personally I just treat it as if it were a treat and only give occasionally, like I say every other week or so. My buns love the stuff and I am comforted by the fact it might be helping fur pass through ok.
Has he had tests to rule out other causes ie pain from elsewhere?
How is he this afternoon?
Loads more vibes xxx

Apart from these episodes he's not shown any sign of pain. It's almost like he gets too scared to eat and then the pain hits. Metacam does seem to be the thing that helps.
Their jabs are in a couple of weeks so I'll have a chat with Mark and see what he thinks about the pineapple idea.

Only just seen this :shock: So relieved to hear that he seems to be back on track again - such a worry for you
Nose rubs from me x
He's been a bit cheeky today. Sitting under my desk looking a little hunched and ill but coming running as soon as I open a box of plantain or pellets :lol: I've seen him in the hay several times today and he's flopping a lot more than yesterday.

Yeh, definatly a good ca to speak to your vet first as Smudges tums abit sensitive.
Its a great sign hes being a cheeky monkey
