when i took peppa a couple of days ago to the vets, he said she had
something called gastric illyas, may not be spelled right, but has anyone
ever heard of something like this, because ive tried to research it on the
net and cannot come up with anything.?
Gastrointestinal stasis - or Gastric Ileus

thanx sooz,,although she has lost probably a 1/4 of her weight, she is now eating
and drinking normally and devouring the apple shes just been given, so hopefully
shes now improving in leaps and bounds.
