Bee 's Medical thread

I'm heading out to get CriticalCare this afternoon, the closest place that sells it is pretty far but it's alright. Bee needs the calories. Can I put the VitaDrops directly in that? It seems like it would kill two birds with one stone.

Alright not sure where my last reply went, apologies if there's two replies for you.

I'm going out to get CriticalCare this afternoon, Bee needs the calories. Can I put the VitaDrops directly in that when I syringe it to her?

Yes, you can put it in the critical care.

I got CriticalCare, made some, and offered it to her. She seemed interested, but she didn't eat much. Is there any way you guys know of that will entice her to eat it? I have syringes but I'd prefer if she'd take it herself. She does eat a lot of hay, though.

Mix some of her favorite fruit/veggie in it and see if that helps.

Alright I'll try that, thanks!

I found some poos, here's an image:

Do they look okay to you guys? I know she's still healing but they don't reveal any other problems right?

Also you can keep the image for further reference.

It's actually a lot browned than the picture turned out, sort of a green-tan color.

Here's your image:

I think there is a range of color from tan to dark, depending on what is being eaten. If these were the cecal feces, they would be even greener and stinky.

She eats mostly hay right now, so maybe that's a contributing factor.

Hi, again!

Bee seems to be doing well, she won't eat anything much besides hay but I'm getting her C through VitaDrops in her water (which I replace every thirty minutes or so). She does have a goopy eye, I've included a picture below. (Sorry it's a bit low quality)

Does this look like an illness or just stress? Also, how do I get her to eat more than just hay so she can regain her strength?

Thanks for all your help!

I would try to syringe the vitamin C once or twice daily directly instead of putting it in the water.

Are you weighing daily? You mentioned crackly breathing earlier -- a possible URI. It is good she is eating hay but of course she needs more variety to get proper nutrients. What is her behavior like?
