I'll do a separate post about the show at some point (was fantastic BTW, I got BIS in pedigree and RIS in pet) but just wanted to add a bit about Feather.
He went to the show with us as there wasn't much else we could do for him. He seemed to like it and was quite perky and interested all day. We got some food and water in him but I'm not really sure how much. His pee started to clear up a bit and he started showing an interest in food.
Today we've worked at stuffing him with as much as we can. He's not overly fond of plain water, so I've switched to giving him extra watery critta care which he takes happily. So far he's had 160g of food and I intend to give him another feed before bed. He was 808g this morning, and should finish tonight at about 880-890. Then tomorrow I'll try and stuff him with a good amount of food before I pack him back in the car for the drive back to the vets for another x-ray.
fingers crossed the inflammation has cleared!
He has been showing a lot more interest in food today. Not enough to sustain himself yet but he is nibbling at the hay, grass and dry feed. So he is definitely feeling better. He's also having issues with his pee. For most of today all he's managed to get out are a few drops, but he's just started doing his usual enormous pees again. He's also crying very loudly when he pees and crying and straining every time he poos. He's already on metacam so there's not much that can be done until the inflammation clears. I am hoping though that it might be a sign that Feather is about to pass the stone. If he can pass it himself it makes his treatment a whole lot simpler.
