I've been gone for about 6 hours today and when I got home, I got out Willow. I noticed her skin was cold and she was very bloated feeling! She also isn't eating either! I'll be taking her to the vet as soon as I can, but what is wrong with her! Please help!
 
Oh er i don't know what it could be.

how long hasn't she been eating? Do you have any CC? (or another alternative is to use mushed up pellets to get all the nutrients and energy she needs)

sorry not much help, hope shes okay xxxxxxxx
 
She needs to see a vet ASAP :(

Could she have eaten anything she shouldn't have?
 
No, she hasn't had anything different given to her, and none of the other piggies are bloated either. She has a history of digestive problems though.

And I can't get to a vet today! It's too late in the day, and the nearest emergency vet is about 4 hours away! I just don't know what to do! 8...

I did put her on a heat pad to keep her warm. I'm so worried :...
 
I wonder if it could be statis? My bunny displayed these symptoms when he had it. Is there anyway you could get a vet to come out to you? I think it is worth travelling the four hours as this sounds serious. I am so sorry. :(
 
The trouble is, it could be anything :{

If you gently tap on her abdomen, does it sound hollow?

Thank you, but there's no way I could travel that far. The E-vet is on the other side of the state, and I'd have to travel through some very bad areas, at night. The best I can do for now is make an appointment with the vet I usually go to in the morning :...
 
It does sound like either gas or fluid. You need Pebble, if she's online pm her if it's bloat/stasis she will know what to do. Do you have a vibrating massage pad? You need to put her on it if you have.

Poor Willow, Can't advise I'm sorry, but I hope she will be ok. Hugs to you. x
