I'd had a bad night last night so slept for a couple of hours this afternoon. I got up again about 6-ish and found Jazz acting weirdly and refusing food. It's hard to describe - she was sort of turning around and backing up into a corner or wall and a couple of times she sort of collapsed (not sure if collapse is really the right term but I can't think what else to say - she sort of stretched out and lay on her abdomen but it didn't look voluntary)
Obviously we got her straight up the vet, who were so good to see her as they were closing 10 minutes after I phoned and ended up leaving a good half an hour late as a result.
My main worry is EC as it seems similar to what Maple did the day before we lost her, albeit not quite as bad. It somehow doesn't quite look like stasis but I don't know.
My vet's treating it as possible stasis at the moment and has given her an injection of a painkiller (Buprecare) and given me Emeprid, Ranitidine and Fibreplex to give her at home. She's put her on a high dose.
Since coming home she's continued to refuse food. I even tried her with peach and banana (peach being her absolute favourite) and she wouldn't even sniff them. She was ice cold so I've done her a snugglesafe and put a fan heater on in the room (we have no heating..). On the plus side she's just pased about 18 very normal looking droppings so that is at least some good news.
I asked for the notes as I may have to take her up Vets Now if she gets any worse and last time they couldn't treat Cody as they didn't know what my vet had given him already. Reading them it says 'weak peristaltic movements on auscultation', which I don't remember her saying at the time (though to be honest I was in a bit of a panic)
I'm very nervous of it being EC. My vet wants me to give her panacur when we're sure she's picked up from this.
I don't know what else it could be? Somehow it just doesn't seem like stasis.
Her abdomen isn't hard or doughy either. Really not sure what to think :?
The odd bit is last year almost to the day was when we lost Maple. She went down on the 18th and died in the early hours on the 19th. Two days before she got ill Cody had the same problem (minus hind limb paralysis) but thankfully pulled through.
It's so odd how the same sort of thing has happened, almost to the day
