Millie didn't want her veg tonight and was sat hunched up in her bed. She is still pooing but I suspect she is having one of her gassy episodes as this is her typical behaviour when she has one. She is getting very annoyed with us too and takes great offence when we try to feed her anything. She has had some pain relief and Gripe water and is now on the massage pad sulking in her cosy. Luckily she has the vets tomorrow anyway for her heart med review. Her chest is clear so is not that. We are both in London all day on Wednesday (R working and I have hospital appointments) so if need be she will come along to Ross' work, where I will be spending the afternoon anyway.
 
Seems brighter already. Just snatched her digestive vitamin off me which she didn't want earlier and has eaten hay and pellets. Has even cleaned Katie's eye which she does at least 5 times a day.
 
Glad that Millie is ok ,
question . what is digestive vitamin ?
 
It is the Oxbow digestive vitamin. I can post a link at lunch, just about to start work.

She is doing well this morning.
 
Millie is back to normal and the vet was happy with her. We are wondering if her ovarian cyst has burst, it has happened before, she gets small ones (that can make her gassy) and all of a sudden they are no longer there then they come back a few months later. Thinking back her behaviour was the same last time it happened. When it reforms I will look into getting her hormone injections.
 
Oh the poor love. Glad she's back to her old self, I hope you get to the bottom of it. Sounds like you have found a pattern there with the cysts, I hope that sorting those out will sort the bloat too. :hug:
