Hi All,
Looking for a little advice quite urgently as i'm not sure what to do.
Bun is not being her normal self. For the last three days i've noticed she had a dirty bum, we cleaned it up the first day, but disregarded it as i noticed a few mushy cecotropes that had been squished and sat on. Put it down to too much carrot and took her off the sugary fruits straight away.
Got home last night about 9pm and she seemed a bit quiet. she usually comes up for kisses and pats and runs around like a lunatic (although she doesn't like to be handled this is her way of showing love every night and morning). Last night she ran away from me and didnt want to know me.
So i checked on her this morning and she was sitting in the same spot i left her. Only this morning she was lethargic and still didnt want to know me. She hadnt touched her pellets from last night, still running away and even getting a little agressive/annoyed. At closer examination she was hunched over, grinding her teeth every now and then, keeping very close to the ground when she did move around (to get away from me) and flopping over which is not that often normal for her. Her belly seems slightly bloated but could be deceiving cos she was all fluffed up, didnt feel too hard but she didnt want me touching it. She still has a dirty bottom but i cannot find any mushy stools this morning making me think its pure liquid. She seems to freak out every time i put my hand near her likes shes nervous or her senses are heightened and shes not a nervous bun generally.
I gave her some Kale, Cos and parsley all soaked in water to keep her fluids up as her water doesnt seem to have gone gown, she at the greens but slowly. I also gave her some fresh hay to which i watched her eat a bit of.
I'm unsure with what to do, my partners update an hour ago was she seemed a little more alert, has eaten all the greens so he gave her more cos and said she is sitting up now but still in the same spot.
I'm a little bit of a worry wart and always think the worst but do we need to take her to the vets or will she come out of it herself with close monitoring?
Thanks in advance.
