Storm is still not out of the woods yet. I could see this morning that he had had a bad night and he even came up by himself to ask me to help him. He was very low.
I called the vet.
Upon examination, he had no gut sounds. Little Storm had a naso-gastric tube passed and then a Clydesdale horse equivalent dose of liquid paraffin and electrolytes. He also had another painkilling injection.
I was asked to keep Storm on his own (so I could identify any poo) and to trot him around the school every hour for ten minutes.
Poor Storm, he hated being by himself and I made sure he could see the others. He wouldn’t eat at all.
On the 13:00 trot, Storm farted – pretty explosive!
And at 15:00 he poo’ed….. a weird poo too. A white stringy rubbery looking thing with hard pellets as well.
And then a couple of plops.
I’ve brought Newt in for night-time companionship!
So that’s how Storm is at the moment. He is a bit brighter now and eating a little out of a bucket (sloppy food) and I want to see more evidence of pooing. He was such a good boy for the vet – no sedation needed for swallowing the naso-gastric tube and he stood there and let her do everything.
Prayers for Storm, please.
