Stasis and vaccination question

Thanks everyone xx It really was a relief to see those nuggets!

I haven't seen him eat at all today. That's not unusual for him as in past stasis episodes he often hasn't eaten at all, or eaten very little, on the first day or so. So I'm just carrying on with the syringe feeds to make sure he's getting enough food in his tummy.

Is he still on prokinerics. and pain relief too ? These need to continue until he is eating and pooing normally. Hope he has continued to improve overnight x
 
I'm pleased to say that Snoopy seems to be doing really well at the moment. I woke up to hear him enthusiastically munching away on some herbs. We don't normally get that until day three or four! He has also done loads of poos overnight. They're still not as big as normal so I'm going to carry on with the supportive care until they're fully back to normal.
Jane, he is on metacam and cisapride as well as the syringe feeds.x

Thanks for asking J&B. His poos are looking a lot better and he's eating well. We're currently in the sulking phase, where he's once again expressing his displeasure at having to go to the vet and having syringes shoved in his gob. He's had a bit of fisticuffs with Fudgie so I'm just keeping an eye on them. Happens every bloody time!
 
Bunnies! If its not one thing its another. I'm pleased he's eating well at least. I remember yours have little spats at times like these. Hoping they are back to normal matrimonial relationships soon
 
Thanks! I know, they really are a pair of stinkers! The problem is that Snoopy gets himself all wound up and Fudgie just goes out of her way to annoy him. I'm just letting them sort themselves out while keeping a close eye on them.

In a day or so, Snoopy will decide to end his sit in protest in the bedroom and venture out. Fudgie will then keep chasing him back in...
 
You should maybe get Fudgie a job as a Covid Marshall...bring in some extra pennies. Sounds like she'd be rather good at it

She'd be brilliant at it! Covid would disappear in two weeks as she wouldn't let anyone leave the house!

After that I'm sending Snoopy in to take charge of the Brexit negotiations. He'll just bite everyone and the whole thing will be done and dusted within five minutes.
 
Breaking news! Snoopy has decided he's made his point and has now left the bedroom. Amazingly Fudgie didn't chase him back in and they're now cuddling up on the living room rug.

Maybe she's saving her energy for her new Covid marshall duties.

Probably she was performing covid practise duties but for once Snoopy had the sense to stay in isolation til his temperature was perfect & poops golden

Good to hear they are cuddling again
