Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could offer any advice / reassurance. I know that I am a worry wart and flap at out poor vet for the smallest thing but Iggy now he is getting older (he is 8) recently I think he has lost some weight and is sleeping in the cage a lot. He does have arthritis and it has been colder recently too but I worry.
Is it just that he is getting older that he has lost weight and doesnt seem as happy? Can I do anything to cheer him up?
Also Does anyone have any tips on feeding him up a bit while monitoring Betty bunny's intake for food so she doesnt get any fatter (she is rather rotund and on a diet)?
He is still eating but seems down since Perdy died earlier this year. He now has a new friend he gets on well with but isnt racing round like he used to.
We are booked to go the vets on monday anyway and on recent trip for jabs etc he was in good health and no issues. The weight loss has been over the last year so its not fast loss or anything.
