Hi all, as stated my poor Tigger has a very runny tummy and has had for about a week now. Please, before anyone jumps on me, I simply do not have the time or the finances to take him to the vet right now and so I am asking my question here in hopes I can at least try to get him feeling a little better.
OK, with that out of the way, here we go: he has a very runny tummy, now please note the following:
1: Tigger does not go outside at all. We live in a first floor apartment and there is simply no way at all for him to get out. No way, nada, nothing.
2: As far as I am aware, he has not been fed any human food. I say as far as I am aware because I am at work during the day and my wife and her caregiver are at home with Tigger, so I cannot completely rule the possibility out, although I have asked them.
Now, two things I have noticed:
1: I have caught Tigger drinking water from the loo on occasion, although the toilet is flushed regularly, especially after humans poop, obviously, but not always when we pee (water restrictions here in Cape Town, South Africa)
2: Tigger has a runny nose, not sure where this has come from either, but I wonder if this does not have something to do with his runny tummy.
3: I have tried the rice and boiled chicken option, no skin on the chicken and just plain boiled white rice, no improvement.
Please, if anyone has any suggestions or advice, it would be most appreciated.
Thanking you
