Luna refused to eat her veggies today. at first I thought she was protesting cause I have been unable to get her out. first things first I listened to her gut, which had general gurgles and the occasional loud one. sounded fairly normal to me. however, i administered baby gas drops and a few little massages.
something smelt, but i figured that was her litter tray as I haven't cleaned it today. cleaned, disinfected, still a smell. she also hadn't moved from her lying stretched out position on the floor.
I did some more massages and then decided to do the general health check and check her over. and the only way to describe it is that she had smooshed poop around her bottom. it looked like when you open up their poops and it crumbles, expect stuck to her butt :? i cleaned it up and boy - it stank. I ended up gagging pretty bad.
after that, i sat down, and then spotted what looked like a dog turd on the floor! literally, her poop looked the exact same as a dog turd would, round, wet. if i owned a small dog I would have presumed its him.
so far no more, just tiny poops. she is incredibly cold on her ears, so I will be taking her temp via ears (i can't do the whole putting one up the anus I measure by her ears using one for kids on the forehead, works well!) and grabbing her a snuggle safe heat pad.
what should I do? I've dealt with gas, but never diarrhea. this is a new neck of the woods for me.
