Joey has been acting really weird tonight. He's been quite timid this whole week but I thought it was because I had taken him to the vets last week to be neutered. But tonight he's been flopping onto the floor, all stretched out and his wee sides are going really fast. It's not like he usually is when he's relaxed, he's trying to get really flat against the wood floor and there's a loud thud when he flops over.
If he was stretched out usually and I went over to pet him he would get nervous and run away but he lets me pick him up tonight.
He's had plenty of fresh water and he has munched loads of hay the last few days, more than usual. Plus some of his favourite broccoli and Excel pellets. He's also been toileting as usual.
I've given him a tummy rub and he sat and let me brush him, which would not normally happen easily.
I have noticed that his ears are very warm, should I give him something cool in his cage to lie against if need be? Like a bottle of water?
The only things that I can think of which are different to normal are I gave him a hay ball with the bell in from the Chinchilla website and he munched some of that and he also tried out vet bed for the first time today, although he wasn't on it for very long.
I'm beginning to panic as this is the first time anything like this has happened to my bun.
I've been reading the recent posts about the sick buns but Joey is eating and pooping.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!
