Friday night I caught Riley munching on a pastic tag, I can only presume that he had eaten a long strip of plastic as it was nowhere to be seen and he was caught red-handed munching on the tag. He seemed completely normal bouncing around, cuddling, eating, drinking, pooing etc I rang the vets and they said if it hadn't passed by Monday to take him in, rang on Monday and they said as he was fine in himself to leave it til Wednesday.
Anyway, this morning he had diarrhoea so I booked an appointment for tomorrow. Lucas has been absolutely fine throughout the last few days although there was a tiny sneaking suspicion that he might have munched on the plastic and Riley was just finishing his leftovers.
Fast forward to this afternoon and poor Lu was sick on my bedroom carpet, I cleaned it up and a few minutes later he came back into my bedroom and did the biggest wee I have ever seen right in front of me on the carpet
He then ran away with diarrhoea tumbling out of him so it was all over my bedroom, the landing, the stairs. I locked him in the front room while I rang the vets and he did more puddles of diarrhoea in the living room
Took them both to the vets and the vet said Lu had a temperature so he has had antibiotics and an enti-emetic to stop him feelling sick. Riley's temp was fine but as there was a tiny bit of blood in his diarrhoea he has had an anti-inflammatory and anti-biotic jab. The vet wasn't sure if the plastic was a red herring as I showed him an identical thing to the one that was eaten and he said it was very felxible and unlikely to cause a problem. I have to collect poo samples over the next few days in case they don't improve, ordinarily I would have been horrified by the thought of that but as I have been dissecting poos for signs of yellow plastic over the last 4 days that's nothing to a hardened poo dissector
Please send positive vibes for both my boys to get better, I hate seeing them poorly and my carpet is taking a bashing too!
