Gracie is a 3.5 year old rescue who I recently bonded with my 8 year old Oliver - they are lovely together.
She has a history of being overweight as a result of being kept in a small cage for a long time and fed on lots of pellets.
She is now at a much better weight around 2.5kg. Her dewlap has reduced. Her bottom is always clean and she doesn't seem to have a problem reaching. She is quite the athlete in terms of jumping and climbing.
We have had on/off issues with uneaten caecotrophs in the morning. It stops and then starts up again.
Gracie is eating 1 15ml spoon of SS pellets morning and evening as well as a pinch of Profibre protexin
Other than that unlimited mixed timothy and Ings hay
Some fresh parsley and coriander
Dried plantain and dandelion.
Apple twigs.
She had a health check at the vets which did not identify any issues - teeth were checked - I may well need to go back.
I have been giving her a fibreplex blob twice daily and Profibre in the water.
She is a very good hay eater and produces lovely large golden poos during the day.
She is very lively, active and friendly but easily frightened and needs reassurance. Could this be a longstanding habit because of how she was kept?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Nicki
