Title: Advice please - Poorly Furbaby
Post by: MrsPurrfect on November 05, 2014, 19:47:19 PM
Hi

Ollie has been sick twice and gone on his tray and done a soft, greyish poo.

At the moment he is very subdued and not playful, which is unusual for him.

Is it possible he has had something which has disagreed with him and it's just an upset stomach or should I get him to a vets asap.

Is there anything I can do to make him feel better?  I'm worried, but don't want to panic and rush off to the vets  :scared:

He had something to eat this morning and was his usual self.  Generally put food down round about 5.30ish and that was when he was first sick, so he's not been interested.  Have made sure there is plenty of water down but he has not had a drink so far.  He's just curled up at the moment fast asleep. 

I am going to see if I can tempt him with some food in a while and see if I can encourage him to drink :-(

How old is he?

He's two years old.  He seems a bit brighter now and has been to have something to drink, which is what I as worried about.  I'm going to give the vet a call in the morning and see what they think.  Of course I'll get him to the vet's if he needs it. Just didn't want to be running there in a panic.

They're proper worries aren't they  :scared:

So should be young and healthy and him drinking is good cos he would be getting dihydrated without a drink.

I reckon he will be improving tomorrow but give the vet a ring to see what they say  :hug: :hug:

Ollie update.  He was confined to kitchen last night and when I came down this morning he hadn't been sick or been on his tray again. He was rubbing round me for a cuddle, as usual and then demanded feeding.  I just put a little down for him and he hadd something to eat, had a rest and then went back for more.  Am going to keep him confined to kitchen so I can keep an eye on his toilet.  I think the little monster must have eaten something that he shouldn't have.
