Joey not eating UD - Poo update Mon PM

He's had his first lot of Critical care, and has managed a little nibble of his Cranberry and Dill tree so that's encouraging. He looks a little more comfortable than before too.

Definitely did the right thing taking him tonight.

Oh Fran I am so sorry I don't know how I have come to miss this thread whatever must you think of me

I'm glad he has nibbled something and is looking more comfortable, I'm on my computer till about 2.00am if you are worried about him at all or need any advice, I will keep checking.

Come on Micro Joe get better for your Mummy xxxxxxxx

No worries Maysie Since I last posted he has been nomming little bits and pieces - dried herbs, plantain, cranberry & dill tree, a bit of hay and nuggies. He's also had a bit of water from his bowl. He's moving around too, which is an improvemnt.

Just saw this. Come on sweet Joey! let your mommy give you what she needs to and nom nom!

for you Fran and nose touches for your little man!

Oh that sounds very promising

Keep up the good work Joey xx

Oh I'm so so glad he is home and nomming. How is he this morning?

glad he's noming a bit
get better vibes joey

How is Joey today?

Sending lots of vibes, hope he's ok.

Well done Joey! Hope he's even better this morning.

So far so good. He's eaten his breakfast ok and has been drinking from the bowl and bottle. Also had more poos, although they are ovbiously a bit dark/mishapen.

Just come back from the vets, as we had an apt. with his usual bunny vet. She felt him over and his tummy seems pretty good, just a little gassy but a lot better than last night. He's been given Zantac along with the Metacam.

Checked his mouth and teeth throughly, and there doesn't seem to be a problem with them After last night's bombshell this is good to hear.

Will be monitoring him today obviously. Thanks guys

So glad to hear he's doing well
There's no sign of a problem? How strange

I'm glad he is feeling and eating better. Lil Micro Joe is special

Aww just popped on to see how he was and I'm so glad he is feeling brighter and eating maybe it was a tummy ache

Topping up the Vibes for the special boy xxxxxxxx

So pleased to hear that he is making a good recovery. It all happens so quickly with buns doesn't it!

I'm glad Joey is feeling better

I hope he ate his tea

so happy he is feeling better

Good job Joey! Keep nom noming real good for your mommy~

Good to hear he is feeling better.

Just another quick update on Micro Joe!

He is a lot better but not 100% I don't think. He's been drinking a good amount from his bowl, this morning's nuggies were nommed. Still a few poo issues, he has been going but they still pretty dark and small, and he managed to sit in an uneaten ceacotroph which went all over his foot Any ideas how long until they more normal?

Yesterday he had a 'free range' day of food. Mainly herbs, cranberry and herb tree, plus nuggies. He did have a bit of hay and orchard grass but I thought it's better to just give him whatever he wanted to get his appetite back. Today will be a more routine day (sadly for him!)

Well done little guy!

When we have stasis events it can sometimes take 4-5 days to get things back on track. We have free food days when this happens too, getting food in is more important.

Please give Joey a cuddle from me x

I'll file this tidbit in my memory banks for later in case the need ever arises!

Same here, it can take a few days. Out of interest, what nuggets do you feed? We've been *really* impressed with Science Selective. Humum has finally got even me to eat it (although we still get a mix of that and Burgess Excel).

Sparky, his nuggies are Oxbow Bunny Basics T (Timothy hay based). Apparently they are relatively low in protein.

Glad to hear he's getting back to normal!

Free food day is certainly what I'd do, get in what you can to sort that little belly out and keep it moving.
