We had to take Rose to the vet on Friday because she stopped eating hay and started having diarrhea.
Diagnosis: intestinal parasite and gas in her stomach.
She's on antiparasitic meds, antibiotics to prevent secondary infection, and a nutritional supplement to replace the hay she isn't eating.
She takes the tiny doses of the meds ok, but she's not a fan of the supplement.
We had a lot of trouble until we figured out how to get her burrito towel wrapped correctly.
She's starting to do better. More normal poops, started nibbling hay, and she stopped fighting the supplement.
Daisy and Rose are inconsolable because we had to separate them until Rose is all better.
The gateway between the pens is closed now and they keep pulling on it like they're trying to pull it open.
Poor girls. I remember when we had to separate our boys and found out that Coffeecake could hop over the walls of our C&C cage
