Im worried about Dudley

Well I noticed that Dudley looked a little depressed so I rattled a bag of treats and Dudley is usually the first to run right to me but no. I tried giving him a treat and he won't eat it. I have put a couple on the floor right next to him but he isn't interested which is not his character at all. I don't even think he has had a nibble on the carrot tonight. It is a bit worrying. I guess all I can do is keep an eye on him and if he doesn't seem right tomorrow take him to work with me tomorrow (vets). I hope he is ok and just full but this has never happened, he loves his treats.:(:(
 
Hi Jen :wave: Don't want to worry you ... but if he were mine I'd be calling my vet now :cry: particularly as it's so out of character for him. Thinking of you x
 
He has just come out of his house then peed on the blanket and flopped on his side then gone back in his house. I think I am going to ring my vets now for advice. I am tearing up, I hope nothing is wrong.:cry:
 
It could be many things, but claling the vet is probably the best thing to do if you are not sure of the causes.

It's really important though that you are calm and unstressed when around him because he will pick up on that and that will make it worse, so the mood needs to be light, however hard that might be.

Has he had any diet changes today? Tried anything different? Eaten anything he shouldn't? Had anything random happen in his life recently?
 
Well just been to the vets. He's ok. Temp normal and everything seems to be ok. He's gone straight back into his little house and isn't happy. If he is the same tomorrow morning then he is going in2 work with me but I am a little relieved.
 
Glad to hear he's been seen by a vet. Fingers crossed that he'll be as right-as-ninepence by the morning. Keep us posted! x
 
Well Dudley seems fine this morning. hes running around and took a treat from me which is the real test with him. There was still half a bowl of food left this morning though but he is drinking as well so I'm not really worried now. Ive had a very sleepless night. I wonder why he was feeling that way last night. Im so glad he looks better. I am not going to take him in with me today as it will just add more stress to the both of them.Thanks for your support Abi. And thanks for your reply sky-o.

That happened to one of mine the other day. Stopped eating and sat in dirt tray not coming to greet me as usual. I gave her two doses of infacol and tummy rubs. Made up a sachet of bio lapis and syringed that into her and within a couple of hours she was eating some parsley. Next morning she was dashing about as usual. Makes you wonder sometimes if they get wind pain and panic. Glad your bun is OK. Pam
