Update - Rupert's in the wars again :(

I hope the metacam will help and he is feeling better soon. You could maybe use a webcam to monitor him while you are away?

I think I'll see how he is tomorrow and then see if I can find one somewhere, because of the bank holiday it may not arrive before I go away unfortunately if I order one.
 
Could the Pet sitter do more than two daily visits ? My concern would be the risk of Rupert stopping eating due to pain and developing secondary gut stasis.
 
Amazon prime?

Yeah I could do that, just not sure how beneficial it will be, pet sitter will let me know of any concerns and get him to a vet if he stops eating.

He's no better but no worse today. Still eating, drinking and pooing normally but clearly favouring his leg.
 
Little update on Rupert, he seems a lot happier this morning, the limp is still there but he's more active. He was pulling up carpet at 6.30 this morning so he can't be feeling too bad! :lol:

I'm feeling a little better about the fact that we have to leave them tomorrow for a couple of days, just hoping he keeps getting better.

Good news! Sending vibes that he will continue to improve.

Thanks all. I will still be paranoid about leaving him but I know he's in good hands.
