Ernie is a bit put out by the decorating activity over the past few days. He has mostly been able to be in the room with me but was a bit lively this morning and got banished. I was a bit anxious doing the window sill as he likes to sit on there or jump up to shout at passersby.

He was sick on Friday but I thought nothing of it as he sometimes eats something he shouldn’t and well you know. However since I left for work Monday he’s had a very upset stomach. QP came home to poo on the kitchen floor and spare room carpet yesterday afternoon. He then woke up to the full works in his crate this morning. We think he hasn’t really been drinking either. He also has a small lesion (?) on his nose which has me worried. No vet appointments on the website until 9th. Does this count as an emergency?

LazyDaisy Jan 2020 6:42pm, 7 Jan 2020 28,839 posts	Quote Pin LazyDaisy Do you have any plain boiled rice or some chicken you could poach for him? Something that will not stress his gut too much but will make him feel fed?
