Fine last night, this morning no poop, he's not eating anything, looks very uncomfortable, made a tiny squeal noise when trying to poop, was a tiny bit of soft poop at the exit..

My vets don't open til 9am, I called the 24 hour one, they aren't seeing animals, you have to talk to the vet over the phone first then they decide if they need to see the animal.. But that couldn't happen til after 10.30am :/ so I'm gunna try wait for my normal vet at 9am..


I honestly don't know what to do :( I probably have medication, but he could have a blockage or anything..

Anyone got any suggestions? :(

Oh Graciee, poor Atticus :( I think I would wait until 9am, but I wouldn't be happy with that decision. Thinking of you and sending him lots of vibes.

Thanks Omi, I'm just praying at this point ivone is there today, it'd be hard enough handing him over and not going in with him, but I at least know she would do the xray, blood glucose, and check everything, and can prescribe stuff properly [emoji21]


Was a new hay bag that got opened last night, Timothyhay.co.uk soft stuff, he was tucking in last night, maybe that's disagreed with him.. Idk :(

I would do this too. Sending lots of vibes and hugs xx
 
Oh, Graciee, poor Atticus. I really hope it's something easily solved and you're both back home again soon. xxxxx
 
I'd just administer analgesia orally if you have it at home for emergency use (obviously your RS Vet will have given this prior approval)

Then make sure he is warm (feel his ears, if very cool place a heat pad near him)

If he will accept syringed water without getting stressed try to get about 10-20ml into him, but ONLY water

Then leave him in peace til you can get him to your RS Vet

Sending lots of vibes
 
Thanks everyone for the vibes x

His blood glucose was 16 something and he's got lots of hard poop impacted, there's no gas really on the xray, its a blockage of poop :( he's stayed with my Vet, so they can keep a really close eye on him etc, having fluids, painkillers etc will pick him up later but he's not in a good way :( could've brought him home and done all that stuff but they can re xray and blood glucose test periodically there so figured that was better and he's not like Clementine where he gets stressed and aggressive there so decided to leave him.

So worried about him though :(

Def' the right thing to do to have him admitted. I really hope that he will start to respond to treatment soon xx
 
Lots more vibes and hugs from me too. I would also have left him there. They can monitor him much better.
 
Big hugs: they'll be looking after him just right :) I hope he passes his impaction soon and gets back to Atticus-normal xx
