Hi everyone
My old girl Poppy is really struggling. She is 8 yrs old and seems to be having one problem after another. I first noticed about 4 weeks ago that she was looking quite rough so I brought her inside to check her over. Her crop was impacted and rock hard, the size of a little stone. After lots of coconut oil and massaging it cleared so I put her back outside. 2 days later she was looking really sluggish so I brought her back inside, it was sour crop, I treated and cleared that and she seemed to pick up. I have been keeping a close eye on her and checking her crop, the sour crop came back, but that has cleared up again. She has lost so much weight and is not eating at all so I have been feeding her scrambled eggs, grapes, berries, bananas and tuna and fish flakes for protein, giving her plenty of fluids etc. Watching her today, she is peeing clear fluids, no poop. She is inside with me now and still no poop despite me feeding her and her crop being full. This tells me she most probably has a blockage? in her intestines maybe?? I went rooting to see if I have any laxatives and the only one I have is Dulcolax with Bisacodyl. There so much conflicting information about this so I am scared to use it for fear off causing her more upset. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, is it a blockage in her intestines? Is this laxative safe to use if she is constipated? If not, any home remedies that I can make until I can get to the shops tomorrow? Is this part of her old age and maybe other underlying issues? She is not egg bound, I did check just to be sure even though she hasn’t laid an egg in years.
TIA
