Hi everyone,
You may have seen my thread from last Thursday. We had to rush Mr. Ham to the vet unexpectedly - it was a frosty morning and he was freezing cold and not eating. When we got him back from the vet, he mostly just lay there a lot and kept flopping on his belly as if he was in discomfort. He had a literal 'miracle' recovery at around 1.00 in the afternoon when he went from looking like he was on death's door to eating everything and chasing Beatrice around.
This morning when I came outside he did run over to me as usual. Him and Beatrice tucked into the pellets and veggies. Usually Ham will eat slowly for a solid half an hour, but afte 5 minutes today he went upstairs in the hutch and lay down. He looks uncomfortable and is occassionally flopping on his side like he's in pain. I gave him some dandelions though, and he did eat them, unlike last time when he was 100% off his food.
I'm wondering what could be causing this? The first time last week, the stomach aches were happening even though he hadn't had breakfast. I always feed them between 8.00 and 9.00am and then the rest of the day they just have hay to eat. So I can't account last time as something bloating him. This morning, I seriously don't think he even ate enough to cause any bloating. Beatrice has subsequently finished off his leftovers and is fine :roll:
Has anyone else ever experienced this kind of thing? We've given him the snugglesafe and hope it just passes by itself like last time. But is is a worry.
