Hello,
Bob is not eating much no pellets or Oxbow hay he loves this normally it wasn't long ago when Betty his wife-bun died... could this effect the stasis so far hes been eating small chopped up pieces of apple but very few so I got the porridge out with a little water this helped.
He has also a change in temp as I brought him in.
Hes up and about now. Hopefully will get his gut moving. Hes still drinking.
UPDATE:- 17/01/10
Hes not eating what so ever so vets again today 17/01/10.
I now can feel a hard round lump on the side of his face/jaw.
I thought his face looked much bigger yesterday and told the vet. One side of his face was bigger but could not feel anything now I can.
His breathing is raspy too.
Vet confirmed abscess and spurs are slightly sharp. On Bio Lapis, recovery food, oral re-hydration and Septrin. Cannot operate until hes eating his abscess needs to go down.
Recommended Cheadle A & E. or overnight stay for treatment.
