Sylar's stasis thread

Oh I do hope! :love:
Oh dear...that is a rather unorthodox method of generating excrement but... glad to see something came through. ;) I take it his temp was normal?
I think as long as he is being syringe fed, he won't be all that interested in eating for himself (depending on how much he is taking each sitting) but at least it keeps something going in.
Fingers, eyes, toes...anything crossed that will cross! :D
 
I didn't speak to them, my O/H did so I'm not sure about the temperature.
We don't really know what to do now. We need to pick him up from the out of hours vet and transport him to another vets for further supportive care. Our local vets are honestly a bit useless and I've been wanting to change for a while but haven't been able to find anywhere decent so it seems pointless taking him there. My second option i Molly but its an hours drive away and obviously we don't want to stress him out any further.
 
Can he not stay at the out of hours vets? Sounds like they are doing all the right things.

Am glad Sylar is a bit brighter and a poop managed to find a way out. I am pleased the xray was all clear. Are the vets 100% sure there are no problems with his teeth?

Sending loads more vibes, I know how worried you must be xx

No :( it turns into a different practise at 8am so we have to take him to our own vets.
He had a dental 6 weeks ago and they have also checked his teeth today so I'd say the chances were low but we will definitely get them checked again.
 
Just caught your thread, so sorry you and sylar are going through this. Sending a million eating and pooping vibes your way little fella xxxxxxxx
 
Sending loads more vibes for Sylar. I'm pleased you got to see him last night.

It's a difficult decision about what to do with him today. I know this might not be evident, but if it were me I would take him to your normal vet if I considered that Sylar just needed to be nursed through this current episode of Stasis, but I would take him to Molly if I thought it was necessary to have diagnostics done to find out the cause of the Stasis as well as nursing him.

Perhaps you would get honest advice from the OOH vet where he is now?
 
They said to take him to our vets, get him on fluids again etc and then if we need to we can arrange to take him to Molly later today.

I've been talking to a girl that has a rabbit that is booked in for surgery first thing this morning with Molly so she won't be available until later today anyway. I'll give her a call though and see what she says :)

I would've thought if he can be stabilised on fluids and taken to Molly later (if that's the plan) then he will feel less stressed. Stressing often leads to dehydration.

Sending you loads of vibes for Sylar xx
 
When we picked him up at half 7 we were told that he was a bit brighter and that she had heard a few belly noises but we've just dropped him off at our vets and when he checked him he couldn't hear any belly noises again. I'm starting to think that he won't made it :cry:
