Biscuits not eating. Refusing all foods. Hasn't eaten at all today.

He's just refused a fenugreek crunchie :cry:

I'm currently setting up a buffet and if nothing by 14:30 - i'll get on to the vets.

Firstly, breathe.

He will pick up on your stress. Go to another room and take some time to calm down.

You have a plan in place. Just follow it through and adjust it if necessary.
 
Oh no :cry:

Teeth maybe ?

Lots of vibes for him xx

All i can guess right now after yesterdays thread.

I can't handle this right now, im having the worst day at work ever.

Hes already had 0.6ml metacam today, i though that might of helped his teeth if they were hurting :cry: (yes, vet confirmed i could use it).

Im calling the vets now, i can't hold off.

Just when Ginger was having a better day... bloody typical.
 
Oh **** :(

Ok hun dont panic, you know the drill. How does he feel temp wise, particularly around the ears? If hes cold wrap him up and have a snuggle safe/hot water bottle near him. Has he drank yet today? If not Id definatly syringe him some cooled (but still warm) boiled water, or even peppermint tea if you have it. How does his tummy feel? If its bloated a very gentle massage might help shift any gas and soothe him abit.

Thinking of you both and sending tons of vibes for Biccy xxxxx
 
I wouldn't panic at this stage. I would give him a tummy rub and syringe a little cooled boiled water into him.
 
Oh no :( it's such a worry when this happens. I'm sure the vet will sort him out, it;s amazing what they can bounce back from so try and keep cool. As for the **** day at work, buns always get ill at the worst times, i'm sure they know. Good luck at the vets xx
