Hello everyone,
I recently had to rush little Reggie Bush to the vet because she (yes, it's a she....we named her before knowing the sex) stopped eating and was very lethargic. She hadn't eaten in about 30 hours so I knew something was wrong. To make a long story short, she was diagnosed with GI Statis and was put on medication consisting of Metoclopramide (GI mobility), Cisapride (GI mobility and appetite stimulant), pain meds and finally an antibiotic. We had to force feed her for a day, and amazingly she is recovering from this. She is eating on her own and almost acting the same...the problem is that she isn't pooping near her normal rate (which is a lot). Has anyone else gone through this before and is the lack of poop normal? I have read that it can take a few days. She has been on her meds since Sunday morning, so almost a full 3 days. Please let me know if anyone else has experienced this! It's very stressful, and Reggie seems fairly normal.....she just isn't producing the typical farmers field of crap. Her poops are somewhat wet or they are small and somewhat hard. Any help would be appreciated. She is still on the meds of 2 more days.
