Hi Thanks to those who have already taken the time to respond re. Lector, Priss and Bob and for all the kind words re. Priss and her current struggle. Following anaesthetic the vet was able to carry out x-ray and ultrasound examinations as well as have a good feel of the intestine. Although there does not seem to be a blockage, the intestine is enflamed in quite a localised area. I have not spoken to the vet in person yet so I know little more than that. Priss has had steroids and fluids injected to try and stimulate appetite and re-hydrate this heavily de-hydrated little girl. Will keep you posted Thanks again Wayne Lector, Priss, Bob and Brandy.
