Wise Old Thumper
We are off to the vets now, please think of him, I can't stand it when he's ill, he's so precious
Thanks guys, sorry I haven't updated, things were a bit hectic here last night.
He has/had stasis and was refusing all food and obviously in pain....the vet gave him metaclop and a painkiller and a couple of other things I forget.
He's been much brighter since and is eating by himself, quite a lot of hay and dried forage He's still very obviously not himself though but I guess that's to be expected so soon after a bad bout of stasis?
We have an appointment this afternoon at 2 if we need it. I'm debating whether to take him or not - on the one hand I don't want to stress him out, on the other he's barely pooped at all so I'm leaning towards taking him.
Does anyone happen to know how long an opiate painkiller injection lasts? He had one last night at 6pm so I'm assuming it's worn off by now? If so then he's improved as he's not showing pain symptoms now.
