Might be a bit long - sorry!
A couple of months ago Flopsy started being a bit picky with her food and not as interested as she used to be. Sometimes at tea time it would take her a while to start eating. It started around the time we lost Rory so at first it was put down to that.
She never really got better, and carried on being picky and just didn't seem to have a lot of interest in food but she was obviously eating because she was maintaining her weight (and even putting on a bit) so in the end the vets decided she had to have a dental done last week and i noticed her pick up straight away and was more into her food. Her teeth weren't bad but they had some sharpish spurs.
These past 2 days she has been a bit funny again. Tues morning she didn't willingly start eating breakfast so i was handing her food (this sometimes starts her off eating) but she'd take the food off me and throw it down. I asked my mum to keep an eye on her when i went to work, within half an hour Mum was out there feeding her dandelions and she was going mad for them.
Ok i thought, she was just being awkward with me.
Tuesday night dinner time - she was fine.
Wednesday morning - same again. Picking the food i was giving her and throwing it down. Mum goes out to look in on her an hour or so later and once again starts chomping away.
Wednesday dinner - Didn't seem fussed about eating again. Throwing down everything i was offering to her. She did eventually start eating after about 15 mins.
This morning - A bit funny at first but then starts eating fine.
Tonight - Uninterested in the bowl. Throwing down everything i gave her. After a good 15/20 mins of me sitting in the shed she starts eating when i move her bowl to where she decided to sit. When i went out the shed she hopped over to Zeb and started munching next to him.
I'll never shut them in at night without seeing them eat.
I don't know if she is being awkward, if there is a problem or what is going on with her.
I always keep a close eye on her because she has been prone to having a gassy tummy, although this hasn't been the case this week and late last year she had some EC symptoms which cleared after panacur.
I think i'll take her to the vet tomorrow for a check over but does anyone have any idea what this could be?
