Somebody has a poorly tummy but I don't know who!
Found a couple of large clumps of squashy poo this morning. I've checked both their bums which are clean. Both their tummies are nice and soft. They are both eating, drinking and acting normally. Do I need to do anything else?
They did have quite a bit of coriander yesterday so I suspect it's that. I'll cut back on veg today and keep an eye on them.
Just wondering if I've missed anything?
 
:agr: Don’t give any fresh food for 48 hours to see if things normalise, see a vet if things haven’t improved after 48 hours. See a vet sooner if things deteriorate in the meantime
 
Worked out it was Ginny having trouble as I heard some loud grumbles coming from her belly. It was firmer than usual and she didn't like me touching it. Gave her gripe water through the day and ignored her shouting for veg.
This morning her tummy is soft and squishy again and she's not complaining when I touch it. Can't see any weird poos, so I think she's over it.
I'll keep an eye on her for a few days and introduce veg back slowly. Fingers crossed it was just a one off.
