Jack's-Jane
Wise Old Thumper
As many of you know Eddie lost his friend Lizzie a few weeks ago Eddie was very dependent on her. I did my best to comfort him and whilst he is now doing OK he did go through several days of deep depression
This resulted in what can only be described as a 'grief moult'. No physiological cause can be found to account for the fact that his fur started falling out in huge clumps about 48 hours after Lizzie died
His fur is showing patchy signs of regrowth, but we don know if it will ever grow back fully. In the meantime he has to have a bit of Olive Oil dabbed on his skn as it gets very dry. We dont want to risk it cracking and infection setting in.
