        I need some advise. Mocha is refusing to eat and keeps pushing his belly to the floor. I don’t know how long it has been since he ate but I do know he was perfectly fine last night. I’m also pretty sure he’s still pooping so it must not have been that long. I gave him some simethicone and tried to do belly rubs but he did not enjoy those. He is also extremely crabby and lunges at me if I come near him. I do not have SQ fluids and I am not trained to use them. I also don’t have any pain meds. How long should I wait to see if he gets better on his own before taking him in? Should I be force feeding critical care or water?

          If you don’t know how long this has been going on, I would take him as soon as you can. In the meantime, keep doing what you are already, and try to tempt him with his favourite treats.

            3 doses of simethicone later and he seems to be back to normal!!!! I will see if he eats his veggies tonight but so far he’s eaten carrot, hay treats, and hay!!!

                That’s exactly what happened to Bindi last weekend. Except it was 4 doses.
