Charlie In Stasis AGAIN

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh ..... I went out this morning. He ate breakfast. No problems. I came back tonight, gave him veggies, he didn't want them. Picked him up and I can feel an impaction exactly the same as before. I am so stressed, because now I am at work full time it means that I can't personally take him to the vet. So I will have to arrange for either Mum or Damien to do it.

He has had Infacol, warm water, tummy rubs and fibreplex tonight. He is inside in the "sick bay" now so I can keep a close eye. Can I have some vibes for the wee man please. Can't believe he is presenting these symptoms AGAIN.

Loads of vibes for Charlie, and you too Charlotte.

Fingers crossed that Charlie's tummy is soon back to normal xx

oh no. lots of get well soon vibes coming your way.

Are Charlie and Bertie in cahoots to stress us out possibly? I'm sorry Charlies unwell again, you've got him through before, you can again xx

oh no loads of (vibes coming your way))

I wonder if the weather unsettled him at all.
Sending lots of (((vibes))) and hope your next update tells that he has picked up again.

That is a very good point Sooz, there was terrible thunder over Lincoln today. Apparently the horses were terrified too.

I came home to three very skittish (and soggy) bunnies and a shivering dog. We had three storms today and I have heard of them sending bunnies into stasis before.

oh god, Charlotte, I hope everything is okay sending loads of vibes for your man xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

oh hun I so sorry to here about Charlie we are sending LOADS of VIBES for both of you. Get well Very Soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sorry to hear Charlie isn't well, I hope he's better soon, sending nose rubs and good vibes!

Aww poor Charlie. He really knows how to stress out aunty Charlotte doesn't he?!

Give him lots of snuggles from me. I'm so sorry he's doing this to you again hon.

Miss him lots

Get well soon Charlie! It's such a worry when they're poorly when you have to work, isn't it?

We have some poops in the litter tray this morning and a greens leaf is gone. Damien is taking him to vets this morning for me and I should have an update later. Thank goodness he is working from home today.

Hopefully he is on the mend then, good luck for him at the vets today

Good news on the poopy front

Hope all goes well at the vets xx

Hope hes ok Charlotte.....sending lots of vibes for him.x

Well he has had a Metaclop jab, he has more Fibreplex and something new for my vets, something called Maxolon Syrup? 2ml, twice a day?

Just looked it up, it is oral Metaclop.

Was just about to say it was oral metaclopromide, I've never used it but it seems some vet are more at ease with prescribing it in a non-injectable form.

Hope it does the trick for you.

He has had the jab as well. the vet said that as this is the second bout in 3 months, he should now, not have veggies anymore and just have a high fibre diet?! What does he mean. Charlie eats A and P pellets. He is not a big hay eater. What else can I do?

Some vets still seem pretty convinced that stasis is linked to vegetable intake but to be honest I have seen no evidence of this in anything you have mentioned about Charlie, usually there would be an identifiable culprit and probably some bloating or unformed, smelly stools. Greens and vegetables usually cause bloat rather than stasis.

Could you keep a constant supply of probiotics in his water perhaps.

Have you tried him with Readigrass, I use this to increase Lexie's fiber intake. I assume he had his teeth checked out today...

Teeth checked out ok today. No problems. He has eaten some greens and a carrot this evening. At the moment I just want him to keep eating and pooping. He has had all his meds. He is having a wash in his litter tray at the moment. I am convinced it was that thunder yesterday, it was really bad. It even scared me. Not tried him with readigrass. Will put an order in asap. Does anyone know if SS has more fibre than A and P?

A&P (23%) has more fiber than SS (19%). I really think the thunder may have had something to do with it, SJ's two have reacted badly as well.
