Hi Folks,
I’m not happy at all with Pandora bless her.
After her spell of not eating a couple of weeks ago she seemed to perk up. But over the last few days she has got very withdrawn and quite again. She tends to sit in one spot of the cage flopped out and hardy moves at all. Even when let out for some exercise she goes and sits in a corner. I’ve been watching her over the last few days as she has been eating very little. It’s hard to tell unless I sit and watch as she lives with three other girls.
Today she’s got sticky bum again and apart from a few nibbles at breakfast I haven’t seen her eat or drink anything all day. She sniffs the food then ignores it. Worryingly she appears to have lost a lot of weight in a very short space of time. She was obese when we first got her and is still very large around the middle but everywhere else the weight has dropped off and she feels very bony. She also feels very floppy/weak when picked up and looks a little wobbly on her feet.
I’ve separated her from her friends tonight so I can monitor how much she is eating/drinking if at all. Going to start syringing fluid to her as I’m worried she’s getting dehydrated.
Making a vet appointment first thing in the morning, as we really need to get to the bottom of this.
Any healing thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Louise
