Hi All,

I have a Lionhead just over 1 yr old, we are suspecting she is going through adolesence as has enjoyed some time to herself lately even away from her best mate, our lop eared.... over the last day i have noticed her poos have halved in size?? still normal colour and dry just alot smaller, she is hairy and im concerned it might be a hairball that could could lead to GI Stasis as she may be molting ready for spring?..... or could she be eating less due to this time in her life.... she )lagonda and india are getting spayed in just over 3 weeks.....

please advise...... dont know if i should be ringing the vet tomo?

Thanks :):?
 
Hi, a reduction in size of poops is certainly an indication of a slowing down of the gut and this can certainly be sparked by a moult.

It sounds like bun is less active and eating less than normal if that is the case then yes I would get her to the vet ASAP.

Meantime, Encourage her to eat and drink. Offer all her favourites, wash any veg/leaves and leave them wet to keep up fluids, provide a bowl of water as this is easier to drink from if she's feeling poorly, encourage her to move around, keep her warm.

Is she outside?
