Aw, I'm glad he got a good night's sleep and then a nice breakfast. =)

Vibes needed for Phillip and Britney

Phillip’s eating still and Britney seems ok (only 1 wee on the floor) but they are fighting when I put them together after the vet visit so I’ve had to split them temporarily

If its not one stress its another. Still I get that somebuns recuperate better in their own company. Great they are eating & Britney seems to be responding to her treatment.

That seems to be the case after the two most recent vet visits. Will try again tomorrow to see if they are any better. It seems to be that Britney thinks he smells different and Phillip becomes less trusting when he's been in pain and/or handled/prodded a lot at the vet. We've moved Phillip to the landing/our room and there is a mesh barrier between the landing and their room so they can still see and sniff each other. You're right though it is all very stressful, especially knowing Phillip is back at the vets next week for his ultrasound!

If you manage to get them back together today can Britney go to the Vet with Phillip on Tuesday and be admitted with him ? It might make it less likely that they will squabble when they return back home x

I'm sorry you've had to split up Phillip and Britney temporarily... =(

So they still are not back together. They lasted for an hour or so yesterday evening but then Britney jumped over his head which scared him and chasing began. I’m at work all day today so couldn’t risk leaving them. I’m not rushing it because they’ve bonded before, I’m sure they can do it again and also he’s not fully trusting after the vets so I’ll take it at his pace.
However my other dilemma is now that since returning from the vets, he’s been symptom free. No puddles or anything on the carpet at all. Apart from being a bit wary and untrusting, he’s pretty much his normal self. So do I book the ultrasound still and stress him out more again or do I wait and just book it if/when his symptoms return. Is it possible that all the fluids he had at the vets could’ve flushed whatever it was out of his system or is that just wishful thinking on my part?

Sorry didn't see this!
Phillip seems much better, he's been causing all kinds of mischief and hasn't been weeing on the carpet at all since. I'm holding off on the ultrasound for now as I don't want to stress him out unnecessarily.
However he's still living separately from the girls
He just keeps lunging and nipping at them when they're together and then they end up circling

Just in the main house...their room still has wet patches as one of the girls keeps doing it and I can't work out who :lol:
It's just so frustrating as they were all so loved up before and even now they keep sitting next to each other through the divider. I guess it'll be back to small space bonding?

Glad all are healthy and well. Hope the bonding goes well.

So the good news it that the trio are reunited completely and are all living back together in their room with no problems.
The not so good news is that Phillip has become incontinent again. He's very happy and eating well, although drinking double what he normally does. The vet should be calling me today to say if they'd be happy to do a conscious ultrasound or not.

Really hope everything is ok with Phillip. It couldn't be behavioural? ie linked to bonding with girls
