I noticed Thumper, our 6 year old silver fox, had lost a lot of weight recently. I took him into the vet this evening and he has gone from 2.4kgs in April to 1.8kgs today. I 'think' the loss has been recent and hoped it was dental, at least then it would be easyish to deal with.
The vet cannot really find anything obvious and he is eating like a horse but seems weak. Anyway he is in for bloods and x-rays tomorrow and I really hope we find out what is going on.
He lives with another rabbit so it's hard to say if anything is different- water consumption seems the same, no abnormal dropping and he's eating well.
I'm worried sick as so many of the sanctuary pets are becoming elderly and things like organ failure and cancers are appearing more and more in my loved ones.
