Good to hear Pootle is over the Myxi! I hope she starts putting some weight on for you soon. How long did she have it for before she got the all clear? Ill keep my fingers crossed she starts packing on the lbs asap x

Hi first noticed 7th October so five weeks or so she has had it. But still got eye infection. Not officially been given all clear but over the worst most definately x

You may find that she likes stronger smelling hays now. She has possibly lost some of her sense of smell due to the Myxi and this could effect her appetite. So stronger smelling foods, especially herbs, may be more tempting to her xx

Good point will bear that in mind x
 
She is doing ok but refusing metacam now and I don't want to stress her so I won't force her. Having eye drops but no improvement on leaking eye... Eating but no great enthusiasm.
 
Well ill keep my fingers crossed she improves. Woody hasnt eaten much today, no pellets just a bit of banana, small amount of hay and a bit of mint. Ive just had him to the vets and hes given us a gut stimulant so see how we get on.
 
Thank you Parsnipbun, Pootle is enjoying her wild plants very much! She has eaten everything I have given her.. she gets two big piles of veggies/wild plants through the day - I mix in some herbs from the supermarket too.
 
Well Pootle has now gained the weight lost with the myxi illness - all that remains is an infected eye which is slowly healing. Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for their support and advice and Parsnipbun for boosting Pootle's interest in food with forage at just the right time, I think!

I think I can finally say Pootle has won the battle!
