Malocclusion and teeth filing

More questions...

I have been forcing CC and water down Polly for the past few days, and have been massaging her belly. She has pooped, but very little and not regularly. During one feeding, she would have >20 poops, but during another, she could have none. She has peed, but also very little. I am taking her in to see her doctor later this afternoon. If anyone has any more suggestions, please let me know asap. The good thing is that she is not loosing any more weight. However, she is simply not interested in any food, not even her favorite treats.:tissue:

My husband asked me a question which I could not answer and am wondering the same thing also... Why would they stop drinking when sick? Isn't that the basic survival instinct?

ps... I never thought in my life that I would cry, out of joy, over a rodent's poop.

Ellen--My boy finally just started eating his pellets over the weekend. He was at the vet last Monday & had anethesia & started antibiotics and it took him that long to be able to eat on his own.
It is still a struggle every morning & night to get him to take the meds though.
And I hear ya about the poo. My son thinks I am nutz because I inspect every drop of his poo during playtime to check the size & consistancy!

Thank you, Michelle. You don't know how relieved I am after reading your reply. I am still going to take her to the vet for a quick checkup in case she is dehydrated. I will continue feeding her. Hopefully in a few days, she will be back to normal.

Thanks again. )

When one of my boys was taking the cc- would feed it on a popsicle stick and really
seemed to work better for him (pudding consistency) and then i followed up with an
eyedropper of "weak" chamomile tea and he liked and took it. 1 c. water to 1 teabag-
2 min. steeped. The tea worked with getting him to drink more water. Hope she gets
better real soon.
