My little foster bun Daisy is a nightmare!!
She is approx 5 months old and is a mini rex rescued from PAH store room. She has been diagnosed with epilepsy, which seems to be much much better than when she first came home.
Only problem is she is a hormonal nightmare!!!! From day 1 she has cage guarded. She has a normal indoor cage which is open 24/7 for her in the living room. She is normally fine until you go near her cage to top up her litter tray, then she will fly at you! The last couple of days she has started living room/object guarding! If you move from the sofa she growls and launches at you, this morning she stole an empty salt and vinegar crisp packet from the table and would not let me near it without attacking!
She needs spaying... urgently.... only problem is she has gut problems, we don't know what or why, we have done faecal samples which have come back as normal, but her poops can be quite squishy and her belly grumbles loudly, she is on a hay only diet (with pro fibre pellets and fibreplex) so the vet is reluctant to spay her until the gurgling settles. I am getting to the point where I will have to shut her in the cage as I cannot use my living room at the moment as she is a nightmare, I am going to have to buy some puppy pen panels so she can have some space but is segregated from my feet, but I have no car as my husband crashed his in the snow and has taken mine to work. Any ideas/is there anything I could do/try apart from wearing wellies to protect my ankles???
