My little Truffle - got home from work to find her flopped out on the floor (she never does this) and she didn't run to meet us as usual, just laid where she was. When she moves, it's just a few steps, sometimes dragging her legs, then flops out again. She is not comfortable.
We have had this with her twice before, which is why I'm posting before taking her. The first time we took her to the vets, they said it was possibly EC, gave her a painkiller, and then when we got her home she was fine pretty much straight away. That was May 2010.
The second time was only a couple of months ago. This vet said probably stasis with unknown cause. Gave her metacam, a gut stimulant and an intestinal stimulant (I can't remember their names right now). She perked up within a few hours and was fine again.
Both times I whisked her straight off and didn't get any clear answers, so I'd like a bit more info to discuss with the vet this time.
I have just watched her have a little groom and sip some water, but now she's flopped out again poor little mite. She did let me rub her belly and seemed to like that even. I'd like to get to the bottom of this and try to stop it happening over and over, so any ideas would be very welcome.
