Hello all,
My sweet Poppy has always had real issues with her gut, frequent bouts of stasis etc. I usually spot the signs easily enough and we can ward it off a bit but this time is a bit different... hoping for a little bit of advice if you've got any please!
1) Her appetite is normal, eating breakfast etc as usual, though not fussing for food and treats to her usual extent.
2) Started doing very small, dark poops on Monday or so? I tried the usual tricks which usually help but no joy.
3) Took her to vet on Tuesday evening who gave probiotic and painkiller and said could feel lumps and bumps in her tummy.
4) No improvement, though still eating and doing intermittent tiny poops. Returned her to the vet Wednesday evening who gave stronger pain meds, more probiotic and also gave me stuff to bring home.
5) Meds and painkiller administered overnight and this morning.
6) She's eaten her breakfast happily and produced about 20 tiny black poops.
7) did some tummy massage and gave some critical care recovery feeding for fluids.
Generally very quiet and squishing her tummy flat so obviously upset.
I just don't know where to go from here? I'm assuming at some point she'll stop eating? But I'm starting to get really very worried.
