Hello pamela,

Is she pooping and peeing normally?

Is she gaining weight or is it possible that she bloated or gassy?

 

[pamela]

SHE IS POOPING LIKE A BUNCH OF GRAPES AND YES SHE IS WEEING

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF IT IS WEIGHT OR GASSY

 

[Snuggys Mom]

Can you tell us about the white bits? That sounds bad.

Laura

 

[pamela]

they do not look like maggots 1 was hard and the other bits felt like flesh?

 

[Snuggys Mom]

Hmmm.... I would personally take her to the vets.

Could she be pregnant? How old is she?

Laura

 

[pamela]

no she has not been with the buck since 27 june she is 10months her poo is hard with some fur in

 

[Snuggys Mom]

I'd start treating her for GI stasis and get her to a vet as soon as you can.

whay is GI stasis we will take her to the vets tomorrow as they are shut now

 

[Snuggys Mom]

A build up of hair or blockage that can alsoresult in infection of the GI tract. It's very serious, butit's best to let your vet diagnose her. Can you pull up thelink I posted? It has a lot of valuable information.

How small are they? They could be froma tapeworm, but those are very small. The tapeworm losessegments and they come out like little white bits, but they are usuallyin the poops.

the white bits are small but they havegone now they are not in her poo going to the vetsfor 11.15 am

 

[DaisyNBuster]

Please let us know how she gets on. Other than the white bits, this does sound like GI stasis.

Mention GI stasis to the vets and see what he says about that.

Good luck!
