Title: Tummy upset
Post by: Beth on April 07, 2009, 20:00:52 PM
Poor Ginny has a poorly belly. One of them was sick on the bed a few days ago but cleaned it up themselves :sick: so couldn't tell if there was anything wrong with it or who it was so just put it down to a one off, however last night one of them left a deposit in the litter tray which was, shall we say, fragrant :sick: and then Ginny was sick in front of me today. :( She seems fine in herself, not dehydrated or pale or anything, and belly isn't hard or tender to touch.

Basically i'm wondering if it could be a bug which is why one was sick a few days ago, and now Ginny today... or it could have been Ginny a few days ago as well, but it seems odd that she's had a healthy day or so in between? :-: If she's sick again tomorrow or seems out of sorts i'll take her to the vets, but is it likely to just be a bug of some sort? They've had no access to any food other than what they've always been on and nothing else has changed.

if they cleaned up the sick, its likely it was just food that had been reguritated sp? so not really sick  :sick:

The bit that i spotted Penguin about to clean up today was just like liquidised food paste. :sick: not sure if it was the meat from dinner or biscuits though, but it wasn't in lumps like if they eat too quickly and bring it up IYKWIM :shify:

Hope it's nothing serious, if they're both fine in themselves other than the unusual deposits then I'd see how they go over the next day or so.

Well Ginny certainly didn't seem poorly last night, happily tucked into some biscuits and did a long and very noisy wall of death with Penguin whilst i was trying to sleep. :naughty: :evillaugh: I knew posting on here would make them better, they do like to make us seem like paranoid parents. :innocent:
