Penny is having stasis episode - vets aren’t in today

[squeaksandcarrots]

Penny is currently having a stasis episode. She is bloated, not eating, drinking, or active. I’ve given her cisapride and critical care already. I just called the vet and neither exotic vet is in today. Is there anything else I can do here at home to help her out?

Can you try a different vet practice. Digestive Disorders: Diarrhea - Bloat - GI Stasis (No Gut Movement) And Not Eating

I’m so sorry! Would any of the other vets be able to see her and consult the exotic vets?

 

[squeaksandcarrots]

No, either the clinic isn’t open or the exotic vet isn’t in

They should have an emergency number to call to talk to the vet. Try that as this is an emergency.

Fingers crossed for Penny, hope she is better soon

Penny is eating pellets and had some hay which is nice to see. I just gave her more critical care too

I hope that Penny is feeling better soon. It’s good she is eating x

She’s now drinking!

Holding you in my thoughts

Thanks for your kind words everyone! Penny has been very active tonight she’s been drinking, eating and pooping! I gave her more critical care to be on the safe side

I'm glad she looks to have perked up. Weigh her every day for the next couple of weeks so you can be sure she really is eating enough, and continue critical care.
Bloat can come in waves so please do keep a close eye on her and seek veterinary advice
