I went the yard this morning at about 11 to see sox. Gave him his breakie while i had a smoke. Got talking to another girl and went to say bye at 12:15 when i noticed he was very annoyed and kicking at his belly. I thought flystrike so checked up there,nothing. Thought he had a itch so i scratched him,still kicking out. Watched him for a bit. Thought i would give the vets the heads up and spoke to E the vet who deals with sox. They said to bute as if it was mild colic that should help and to cold hose near his bits incase he had a bee or wasp sting. So i did. It was now 13:30 e said to give it time but if it gets worse ring back.
I went back down at 3 and he was still doing it. So back on the phone to the vets telling them i want a vet out.
However they were struggling as it wasnt an emergency. Half 5 i rang them and a vet was coming within the hour. Sox still was kicking out but not as much.
Vet came around 6pm. Saw him kicking out chexked his heart rate said he was very very gassy and it xould have been the grass coming through. Due to the amount he was kicking vet checked inside and said the dropping are very dry and stalky so it could have been hard to pass. So constipation in short. Apparently he couldnt feel an impaction as such. But checked his teeth which where ok.
Going to pop back up in an hour. He gave him some meds IV and i am to givw two more bute later on. He is oncall so if he isnt better i shall be getting J out again.
Very relived though
