Hello again all,

Weasley's bloat fired up again less than a day after being cleared of his bloat and UTI and marked as healthy by the vet (I wasn't very impressed). He's been back off his veg and on Emeprid and Metacam since Tuesday morning.

I am a bit concerned about his poops doign somethign different this time around however. He goes through phases of having hours on end of plentiful and normal shaped/sized poops. Then he's stop for a short while and do a series of small hard poops. Then an hour or so later he'll drop a few normal sized poops which are full of holes, followed by a dozen or so which are half normal looking and half green and squishy, with the green half usually fairly hollow.

He's due back in at the vets tomorrow because his face has flared up again and I'm convinced it is indeed fungal even if the vets not as he's now losing clumps of fur with gray flaky scabs and itching all over his body frequently along with chattering his teeth just before doing so.

Either way, is this extermely worrying? Could it be the UTI returning? Or is this normal for bloat?

Thanks all.
 
He's just dropped another group of small poops and one of them has a sticky mucus like tail attached.

He sounds dehydrated. Please keep him syringe fed and watered; little but often to help steady the guts. Take him off all fresh veg for the time being. The poo output usually reflects what has happened several hours to two days before.Please follow the tips in our detailed, illustrated guide.
