Poor Benjamin has a stomach ache this evening. When I got home from work he was hanging out in his litter box, which he never does. Husband said he'd been there for 30 minutes, and didn't eat any pellets at dinner time.
I gave him some simethicone around 5:30 pm. His tummy felt puffed up and hard. I tried to massage it a bit but he wasn't too keen on that. At 9pm he was still in the litter box, never ate any pellets. I gave him another dose of simethicone, and tried to massage again. This time, he was grinding his teeth really loudly.
How frequently can I give simethicone? I can get up through the night to give him more.
If he's still feeling poorly in the morning, I'll be taking him in to the vet first thing, they're open in the morning on Saturdays. Hopefully one of the exotics vets will be in.
