I have an English Angora buck. He is bright and alert with a beautiful coat. He is pretty boney - I can feel every nook and cranny and have been trying to get a layer on his bones. I thought I made a little progress on his hip bones but feel we regressed and he made progress on his ribs a little - but you can still feel them very well. He eats pellets, leafy greens, hay, cooked organic sprouted quinoa, lentils and rolled oats and black oiled sunflower seeds. The only thing we haven’t done is the calf replacement powder.
Friday he chewed a paper bag and a little hay - the end of the bag bit and food as normal. Late last (Saturday) night I noticed his poop was a little dry and less than normal. He also didn’t finish his greens by morning like he normally does. Today he was barely eating and barely pooping. His belly stayed soft and I heard his intestines making noises and he showed no signs of pain. He received kefir and I took him outside for a little. IThroughout today (Sunday) he remained active and alert. I also syringedbhim fluids ( blended leafy greens, gassy tea, pineapple core and fennel). After the pineapple core and fennel he’s been pooping up a storm. Has anyone experienced something similar? Does this sound like parasites? Is there anything I can do to help his poop to become normal?
