I got up again at 5:30 to give her some more water. She didn't appear to have moved from the spot she was laying in 2 hours earlier. She did take a drink of water when offered but leapt away when the Ovol came out. If nothing else, that stuff gets her moving if not necessarily her gut. When she...

I've tried getting some Oval into her but you know how the smell of it tips them off. She's never tolerated being handled and getting anything into her against her will has always been next to impossible. I set my alarm to wake up at 2:00am and I gave her some more water and a few tummy rubs...

Hi All; I'm not sure if I'm overreacting or if she's truly different this time. I posted back in 2009 and again in 2010 when Cleo had some stomach problems. Since then she's been incredibly healthy. She's only had a couple of occurrences of GI trouble in the last few years and thanks to the...

Tooth pain is a possibility. This has been quite sudden really and she just had her molars ground down about 3 months ago. She has a malocclusion and gets regular molar checks. She visited the litterbox a couple of hours ago and passed what looked like a good sized stoppage followed by a fair...

She hopped around pretty good in her house last night. She's been flopping on her side a bit and doing some grooming. Last night she took a drink from her dish on her own and will still attack wet carrot tops like she's never seen them before. Last night she leapt up onto the shelf in her cage...

Cleo's been lounging in her litterbox for most of the afternoon. Every now and again she sits up for a while before flopping down again. Often when she flops, it's either on her side or stretched out with her chin on the side of the box. Both positions indicate to me that she's still...

Wifey had some canned pumpkin stashed away so I didn't have to leave Cleo to pick some up. No go though. She sniffed it and turned up her nose. Strangely she's gotten pretty weird about accepting water from a syringe as well and fights it really hard. She's gotten wise to the Simethicone and I...

Yeah, I was thinking about popping out to pick up some pumpkin later on if I'm still awake. She's turned her nose up at numerous types of melon in the past but it never hurts to try.

Yes, I managed to get a little Simethicone into her early on. That at least started her tummy gurgling again. She has accepted one piece of hay so far but pretends not to see them when I offer others. It's a start. I keep her veggies in water full time now after her last stomach upset last...

I may have spoke too soon. While I was typing this Cleo snuck over and took two tiny nibbles from a slice of apple and then went back and laid down again. Guess maybe I'm just over-fussing a bit and she's actually on the road to recovery. Last time she was sick it was a week before she would...

Looks like Cleo might have some gas but I'm not sure that I'm treating it right. She's been an exceedingly healthy little bun throughout the 4 years that I've had her. Last year she had a bout of G.I. Stasis. My vet gave her motility drugs and many of the good folks here helped me get her back...

Yes. She's very happy now, thanks! She's getting a lot less greens than she was before and that's making her eat a lot more pellets and hay. What greens she does get, I'm soaking in water for an hour to increase her water intake. Now that she's feeling better she's gone back to drinking less...

She popped back into her cage to relax a few hours ago. Once she was in there she started eating pellets and drinking water on her own. I haven't witnessed her eating any hay so we've been handfeeding her some whenever she will take it. I had brought her water dish out into the living room in...

Well it sounds as if many of my assumptions may do me well. She has always had veggies and has been equally happy to eat hay as well as pellets but she has made it clearto me that they are supposedto be eaten between meals of veggies. As everyone understands, I'm sure, my concerns at the moment...

It's tough to decide. Some people are saying hay and pellets only, others are saying upwards of a cup of greens per day in addition to hay and pellets. My vet who, granted stands in question at the moment, tells me to hold off on veggies for the next few days while giving her apparently harsh...

She had a few pellets and I gave her two carrot top fronds after a particularly long nose rubbing session. I think I got as much licking as she got head rubs.She followed that up by exploring the house for a whilebut now she's stretched out behind a chair. That chair isone of her favourite spots...

Well!! She just woke up from the afternoon nap and started eating pellets. She quickly checked to see if the greens dish had magically appeared while she slept but then went back to eating pellets again. Unfortunately the new Less Active pellets haven't arrived home yet so she's eating the old...
