Well what a day it has been already! This morning, I woke up Espresso and she had her morning poop and it looked a little runny and iffy...okay no real reason to freak out. Then I put her on the playstand and she went to poop again (cue small freak out). When she pooped, she had a small prolapse. Cue huge freak out. I immediately took away her food and called the vet sobbing and a gigantic mess, rushed her over, and the prolapse retracted itself (yay but still aaahhh). They checked her for egg binding and took a full body X-ray and couldn't find any reason for it. I'm going back tomorrow for fecal and bloodwork (the AV wasn't in so they did everything they could do and eliminated all the Big Scaries without her and without charging me a bagillion dollars which was nice). I'm watching her like a hawk and she is on metacam, antibiotics, and some probiotics (which sounds about right to me..I know antibiotics can be really persnickety though should I be concerned about giving them with probiotics??)
My question is has anyone else experienced this? What are some theories y'all have for what is causing it? She got fluids at the vet and is acting reasonably normal...she is on a no seed or pellet diet until we get to the bottom (no pun intended) of this which she will not like lol.
