Oh noooo Max is poorly :.( u/d back from vets

[Shellypops]

Thanks guys, ive just syringed him some cooled boiled water and hes wrapped up snuggly.
Im freaking out though coz hes getting more and more lethargic, i think im going to have to rush him in.
Oh god oh god oh god

he will feel like just loafing when he feels like that. If you feel that he needs to be seen now, then do it definitley

Oh i dont know :? I dont want to go early and have him waiting around in his carrier which will stress him out. But then I dont want to leave it too late :?
My hot water bottle is broken, is there anything else i can improvise with for now?

I think waiting will be okay to be honest, as he has eaten. It's just horrible having to wait.

I found Bobs like that at around 10.30 -11, and I didn't get seen till nearly three. You're doing great, you may have to just chase him around, which seems mean, but will help keep his tum going.

I am not an expert, but I got Bobby going the second time without the vet, it just took longer.

I know it feels awful but just keep him warm ,keep him moving and keep tring to tempt him. Have you got any Critical Care?

DO you have any rice in the house Gemma?

If so, fill a sock with some, then microwave it and put another sock over it. Makes an improvised heat source. I've done this before :wave:

I havent got a damn microwave, can i put it in an oven?
Shelley yes i have some critical care, so if the vet says theres no blockage he'll be getting some.
One hour to go, feels like forever

Poor you. honestly you are doing just great, and remember, he has eaten this morning, so I am pretty sure all will be okay by this evening?

Just a question, did he get slightly more pelletts than usual?? because I think thats what went towards making Bob's slow down.

Does his tummy feel gassy?

I would think oven baking the rice for ~10 mins should do the same as a quick blast in the microwave?

Just put it in the sock AFTER its cooked instead, or you'll set light to the sock !

Sorry Max is feeling poorly, hopefully he will perk up quickly after the vet trip. Is he usually a bit dozey in the daytime anyway? That combined with not feeling so good might make him seem worse :?

Anyway, sending lots of vibes for him xx

 

[Gemmapookie]

Shelly- No he didnt have more pellets tgan usual, if anything he got slightly less as I cut down slightly when it gets warmer :?

Graham- thanks for confirming that i shouldnt put the sock in the oven, i would have burnt the flippin house down

 

[CinnamonAndNutmeg!]

Really hope poor Max picks up xxxx

Thanks Debster, yes he is usually sleepy at this time of the day anyway.
He just seems so poorly, hes grinding his teeth now
Not long till vets now and rice is in the oven x

Sending tons and tons of vibes to Max. xxxxxx

 

[poppymoon]

i didn't realise scoffing could be the cause

i'm not saying it is the cause - just one of my random observations of eric & esme

hope max picks up soon gemma xxx

No it's just Bobs was Soooo greedy and then, stopped, so maybe it could be gas?

HE JUST ATE A FENUGREEK CRUNCHIE He was totally refusing even those an hour ago
He feels abit warmer and abit more 'with it' now aswell, but hes still very lethargic so am still anxious for the vets appt.
Its an improvement though however slight
Btw thankyou so much for the vibes and advise, its such a comfort to have you guys when somethings wrong

 

[Debster]

Aww Max, yeah I think you are right to still get him to the vet. I got Bob's to eat some dandelions leaf, aorund this time :shock::shock: How weird eh??

but still took her, but 6.30 she was normal as though nothing had happened

 

[poppymoon]

Hes gone all hunched and tooth grindy again, I wonder if its hurting him on the way down :?
Right going to go and get ready for the vets, wish us luck. I'll update when we get back :wave:
