Hi all Redfoot keepers- my dear little Gibby, is sick. I need your help and I can't find anything at all on these symptoms. That may totally be because I don't know the words to use on a search on the Health boards.
Will someone please help me? He is scrubbing and scrubbing at the sides of his head with both legs, but one side, then the other.
He's not eating (for 2 days) and he hasn't pooped for a couple of days either. He's drinking water and expelling the little "floods" out his nose and mouth after his deep drinks, so I think he's trying to purge or cleanse inside his sinuses and throat.
Also- I'm attaching some really gross pictures of what is coming out of his vent/bottom - no poo, just these stringy yellow-green mucous things.
I've got a vet appointment tomorrow afternoon, but I'd like to go in with some language or hints about what is going on with him, so they don't poke, prod and freak him out running a general panel and testing if at all possible.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, IN ADVANCE, if you can shed any light at all. He looks great- no ticking or respitoray distress, no abcesses around his ears, etc.
