Hi everyone,
So I took little Odin to the vet this morning. He has been showing pain (squeaking a lot) when passing droppings since last Thursday. The droppings are perfectly normal and he is still eating loads. He hasn’t lost any weight.
The vet checked his teeth and said they looked fine. He felt his stomach and said all feels fine there. He gave him an anti-inflammatory injection. Though the vets there are not exotic specialists.
I’m worried maybe there’s infection somewhere? Urinary? Hopefully not stones!
Odin is around 11 months old but had Giardia parasite infection when he was a baby (still no idea where he picked that up from)? Since he’s always been smaller than his brother at 800g and has always had days where he sits more hunched. But he seemed to be perfectly fine for a while.
he really is jumping around in pain when he passes droppings. The vet said the injection should last a week, but I’m wondering if I need to get him to a specialist?
if it was infection? Would he be losing his appetite/weight by now?
