So my vet said that blockages are so rare that she’s not going to do an X-ray but now I’m super concerned about it. I’m so sorry about your baby, I lost my other baby to gi stasis 6 months ago because she had kidney disease.

The vet filed down his teeth because he seemed like he wanted to eat but wouldn’t. And he ate some greens and pooped a little and peed, she sounded hopeful this morning when I chatted with her. She said I could pick him up tonight but she suggested he’d stay another night for monitoring so I agreed. It’s just been such a terrible time. And when I called to check up on him before bed time the receptionist said the doctor said he pooped and peed and ate a few more greens but he’s no better and no worse, just that he needs to be monitored some more.

I hope I get to speak with the vet tomorrow morning so I can know more details, such as if she really thinks his teeth were the cause or his UTI. Or both. I’m just scared to bring him home if he’s still not better because I’m scared of him getting worse and not being somewhere with immediate care.

But it’s a good sign that he’s eating on his own right? And that he’s pooping even if not as much? I understand that the vet is very busy with it being an emergency hospital (and the only exotic one in my city) but I have barely been able to talk to her personally.
