Guest jupiterooos Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Angler had an explosive poo earlier, so I figured he's feeling off. Since then he has apparently been feeling worse and worse - first vomiting, then refusing food (unusual), panting, and now he is standing next to me making those wheezy snorty noises that are sort of like a reverse sneeze? He does that from time to time but he's been doing it nonstop. My first thought is hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, as these symptoms are exactly what befell Jupiter a few months ago (minus the snorting) but I really don't know. What should I watch out for? We will go to the vet tomorrow I think, but in the meantime can I do anything for him? He is drinking a little water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambuca Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I'm not an expert, but that sounds a bit like bloat. Is is stomach swollen and hard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would bloat happen just randomly like that? I thought it was tied to eating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambuca Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 It usually is tied to eating, but it can also be from panting. Did he eat something he shouldn't have? How long before the diarrhea did he eat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long before the diarrhea did he eat? I doubt he ate something weird, he never does stuff like that. The diarrhea happened a good six hours after breakfast.

Sambuca Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I don't know then. I would keep a really close eye on him and if he takes even a slight turn for the worse, I would rush him to the e-vet. Otherwise, I would take him to the vet in the morning.

Guest jupiterooos Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 (edited) He is better! We were really freaked out because the symptoms seemed like the hemorrhagic gastroenteritis Jupiter suffered earlier this year, but by the next day his poo had solidified and he had stopped barfing. And he wanted his breakfast I guess it was just a tummy upset? No idea what caused it, but I'm so so glad he is better! Edit: I wrote he had stopped barking when I meant to say he had stopped barfing. Big difference there....

Guest SoulsMom Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Soul was making those weird noises too when he had an upset tummy which I thought was bloat. Got him to the vet, turned him on his back for Xrays, he farted HUGE and all was well. Now I refer to that as my '$300 fart bill' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
