Hes been shivering a tonne over the last couple of days and now his poop is ....luminous.

I thought the shivering was because the house is cold and would stop when he was on our hands our under our clothes.

But now with his poop , im ringing the vets a hoping they have an appointment available this afternoon

Oh no Stitch, I'm so sorry! Very few worse feelings in the world than when our babies may be ill and they can't tell us what it is they're feeling 😟 All my very best hopes are with you and your precious boy for the best possible outcome at the vet's today! πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

Not pooping is certainly a concern - they are SO good at masking illness but they can't hide something like that. I hope he passes something very soon. Sending hugs and prayers to both of you, Albie is so lucky that he has a devoted parront like you! πŸ’

Oh I think so! And I think whatever this is, you have caught it early Albie will be the beneficiary of your devoted parronting. Hopefully it's just him reacting to his new environment after your move, but you are definitely doing the right thing by him to get it checked out by your vet πŸ’–

Im hoping it just the stress of moving upsetting his tummy , but as you said , they hide illness so well we dont wanna take any risks .


What is the typical pricedure ? Last time he only had his nails and band removed .

Sending lots of hugs your way, my friend, and hopes that it's just stress from the move and all will be well with that sweet little man. I'm so glad you've noticed quickly and got an appointment with the vet right away. Always better to follow your instincts if you feel something is off. C'mon Albie, Mama's worried about you, and so are we!

Thinking of you and Albie! I know how scary it can be wondering if something is wrong. I’m glad you got him an appointment today and hope it goes well.

Deep breaths, my friend. I know it's hard, but he's in good hands.
