Hiya
I took Jess to the vets yesterday cos he'd completely gone off his pellets and didn't seem qute himself. She said his teeth looked ok, she couldn't feel any blockages or masses in his belly and she said he had low gut sounds. She gave him a shot of that gut stimulent, metacam and baytril (she sent some away with me too) and said to keep an eye on him for a couple of days then take him back.
He's eating greens, hay, dandelions etc and when i put his pellets down (mixed with boredom breakers herbs, wood picnic, dried dandelion etc) he eats around the pellets.
Is this selective eating a problem? He has never done it before and the vet said that selective eating is very different to not eating at all.
The only thing i can think of is that when i went out Sat, iasked my brother to come round and feed them, put them away etc. He gave them A&P pellets which they don't normally have which Jess despises and refuses to touch. Im wondering if this has put him off a bit.
Any ideas how i can get him back into his pellets or do you think he'll pick up a bit?
