Pippin was in the vets on monday for some tests.
Yesterday mid-morning he had diarrhea. I put it down to meds he got or just the stress of being in the vets. He had it again this morning but not bad.
I gave him pro-kolin and fed him only rice and some scrambled egg at 8am as he is allergic to chicken. He was fine all day, no poo's at all. This evening he started wanting to eat grass all the time, when my husband was out doing the garden. I kept him in as it was making him retch.He did a normal poo at 8pm. He was lively enough and was looking to be fed at the usual time of 9 ish tonight, so I gave him another small bit of rice and egg.
Just after midnight he went out to the toilet and passed a small-medium pool of blood. I rang the emergency vet straight away. They asked me full details of his symptoms and I explained everything. They said as he was settled down to sleep now and his gum colour was nice and pink it was ok to leave him until morning and contact my vet. I've just to keep a close eye on him and contact them again if he gets any worse.
He was just out to toilet again a minute ago and there were only a couple of drops of blood and some grass.
He went straight back to bed and is sleeping soundly now.
I hate to see him sick like this and wish it was morning so I could get him checked out.....why do things seem so much worse at night?
