Hi All,
Not sure if this is GI Statis or an underlying problem. Buttercup (4 yr old male lionhead) refused to eat his morning treat of carrots and parsley. It looks like he ate his treat last night and left a large pile of nice-sized pellets.
After refusing his treat and fresh hay, I started watching him and he can't seem to get comfortable. He'll lay down for about 30 second, get up, go to a new position, get up again, etc. He has the most trouble laying stretched out.
I listened to his tummy with a stethoscope and it was totally silent. So, I force-fed him about 1/2 tsp - 3/4 tsp of some baby food (carrots). He weighs about 5 lbs.
Also, I just noticed that he peed on the carpet instead of going in his litterbox.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? There are no emergency vets around, and everything is closed because it's Sunday.
