Hello Everyone,

My little silkie Penny isn't herself. She's quiet, sitting most of the time and has a droopy tail. She's eating and drinking which is good. Her poo has been a bit runny. I've given her some yoghurt and a nice warm bath followed by a blow dry. I've attached a photo of the most recent poo. She's been separated from the flock and is sitting on a towel in my lounge room. Any suggestions as to what is ailing her.

Yes she was wormed and dusted for mites about 6 weeks ago. Her vent looks normal, she's eating and drinking. Her crop was full last night. She's seems a little more alert this morning but still sitting, not moving much :(

After booking in at the local vet Miss Penny wasn't able to stand at all and was depressed. It was decided to put her down. It was the hardest decision and very upsetting. I had become quite attached to my little black fluffy silkie.

RIP Penny. [smilie=a_angel.gif]

Sorry to hear about poor little Penny :( It must have been very distressing [smilie=a_damnit.gif] as I know she was your favourite girl.

White faeces/urates would suggest pancreas or digestive problems.

Rest In Peace In Chookie Heaven Penny [smilie=a_angel.gif]

Thank you PP and Barnesy for your lovely wishes.

I'm feeling a little better today over my decision.

I'm so sorry to hear about Penny :cry:

I haven't been on APF for a while and was sorry I couldnt give you any input to try & help save her.

Much love to you at this time.
