Worried about Mitzie

[suzi1780]

She can have 3 droppersful of the baby gas drops a day--you can't overdose on it.

Is your regular vet available tomorrow? Is the e-vet chin experienced, and experienced with bloat in a chin?

I will have to call to see what time the Exotic Veterinary Center is open tomorrow but they do have a e-vet on staff that treats exotics.

suzi1780, Eastern Exotic Veterinary Center is open Saturdays 9:00 AM until 5:00 PM (I take my 2 girls there)
If your chin needs treatment tonight take her in as an emergency. If the e-vet isn't experienced with bloat in chins he/she will call someone who is.

good news! no bloat! she had an xray and her tummy looked fine but she does have some gas. She said it was a good sign that she has still been active and doesn't seem to be in any pain. Also the doc said her gut is a little dehydrated. I am to continue with the gas drops (.35 ml 3 times a day) and cc (8-12cc 3 times a day) and they also gave me Laxatone - I have used this in cats but never with chins, she is to have 1cc of that twice a day. I think the vet was impressed I already had the cc and gas drops on hand, she said that was just what she would have told me use for her. Thanks to everyone for your help, I will keep you updated.

Oh and my fatty's weight was 620 grams!!

That's awesome. I'm glad you were able to get her in.
