Health Update: Princess Zara of Arapawa
Just as I was starting to think we're getting on top of Zaras health challenges, yesterday her bloat dramas flared up again, and this morning she was acting weird and obviously uncomfortable with it. Zara was repeatedly laying down on her back and stretching her legs way out front and back. Very unpleasant to see.
So I immediately popped her in the car and drove her to the vets.
We think Zara has an issue where her suckling which isn't sending the food into the right stomach chamber.
Everything we have been trying, thick yoghurtised milk and small regular feeds (up to 10 feeds a day using a small syringe), the vet said was good, but we now have some medication to try, and a new technique of getting her to suckle on a empty, dry teat before we introduce food. Then transition to solid food, sooner rather than later, getting her off the liquid diet. So I have muesli to introduce her to today. She's been already nibbling on grass.
So the battle is not over...
