Night Gas =_=

[Muchelle]

So, someone‘s decided to get a pretty bad colic tonight. It’s just turned 4a.m. and he’s gotten massages with his butt up, a session of butt grooming (since I had it in my hand), farted and done noises a-plenty. I gave him a dose of metacam for the pain and force fed him some water, then he went to drink by himself.

I shouldn’t be this psyched since it’s not the first time K is having gas problems, but after what happened recently I have to say I’m pretty anxious. The fact he’s not been wanting to eat for the past 4 hours or so is driving me crazy… (he had his pellet dinner and later only accepted a raisin and would have wanted more, but nope, not happening lol)  

I’ll keep watching him another half an hour and then go to bed and hope I don’t have to run to the vet tomorrow or worse. Also tomorrow is national holiday over here, so… yey =___= 

On top of all this, he’s shedding again, fml

Have you tried Simethicone? I think it works well. Some nights I can hear Lancelot’s belly sounds from the other side of the room – and loud. As long as he is still eatin, a cc of simethicone calms down his belly. If he has stopped eating, I give him simethicone with each syringe feed.

[Muchelle]

Don’t have it ready on hand, cause I found out the bottle I had is expired… I’ll grab a new bottle tomorrow if any pharmacy is open. I sure hope by morning he’s eaten his stuff cause I really don’t want to start the around the clock feeding routine twice in the same semester…

[vanessa]

Yeah syringe feeding is time consuming. I actually went to the grocery store yesterday and picked up 2 bottles of simethicone – I don’t want to run out of the stuff.

Depending on how expired it is, a family friend who works in pharma r&d told us that most meds are good months if not years past the printed expiration date.

[Q8bunny]

But either way, (((Kuro)))
C’mon, your darkness…. even mighty lords don’t torment their slaves on holiday weekends

[Muchelle]

Yeah, I usually don’t mind expiration dates, but the bottle hasn’t been in the best conditions… so I didn’t risk it.
I think he swallowed air by drinking too fast from his bottle. I sure hope he doesn’t do it again, cause after his furball problem I really don’t want to switch him back to the bowl.

Anyways, he was fine the morning after =_= sometimes I wonder if he has munchausen syndrome

Muchelle, that would really be something for Medirabbit. “Kuro, the Italian Munchausen Syndrome Rabbit, a Case Report”.

[Muchelle]

He’s already getting to star in a vet report for his miraculous survival to gastrectomy (performed in under 20 minutes) while being in super-critical conditions, he was about comatose… I guess I can ring them up and ask to add the mental pathology as well. I have a suspicion they could mention me as well in the mental illness paragraph xD

[Q8bunny]

I’m just glad he’s feeling well again.

[Muchelle]

Yeah lol. I’ve also decided to give him a daily heavy duty fur plucking until he’ll be done molting (AGAIN!!!). Today’s harvest was another bun in lighter color. I might open a topic where to complain about stripping-duties

[Bam]

Bam just decided to have another big shed, so I certainly sympathize.

[Q8bunny]

Chew just finished his second (unexpected) one too. What is it with them this year? Extra hot summer ahead or something??
