Coco’s poops are quite a bit smaller than they usually are (about half to two thirds the size), on inspection whilst they aren’t strung together with hair, they do have fur inside the poops. Both of my buns have been moulting and she’s regularly grooming Fudge.
I can’t see any signs of Statis otherwise - her appetite is normal and drinking, no bloated stomach. She’s just flipped out and lay down so doesn’t look to be in any pain. She has however just changed her medication (the specialist vet found her bladder is in the wrong place and we’re trying to find a solution to her incontinence), she was previously on propalin, and whilst it was helping it hasn’t cured the problem, so we’re now trying incurin. She’s on quarter of a tablet per day for 12 days in total and we’ll be 6 days in later today when she has it. She hates being held so is cranky with us for picking her up to pop the tablet in her mouth. Other than that she’s the same apart from the poops.
It’s likely she’ll have to go back to the specialist vet anyway for more tests as it doesn’t look like the incurin is working so far.
I’m ideally not wanting to stress her out by taking her on an extra trip beforehand, so wondering if there is anything I can feed etc first to pass any hair that may be building up? Or do you think this needs addressing straight away at the vets?
