Alfred is at the vets

He's been a bit quiet since yesterday, and I noticed one side of his face was wet, it was still wet 90 mins later. I tried to dry it off and then saw he was wet under his chin.

He was still eating and drinking, although not eating quite as much, and his poo's a bit runnier.

I managed to get an appt this afternoon, and the vet thinks it's his teeth, so I've had to leave him in, as they want to make sure he is eating properly before I can bring him home.

I can hopefully collect him late morning.

Thanks everyone, it seems so strange without him :(

I've not heard anything from the vets, I've got to ring after 10:30 in the morning, to see how everything is, and hopefully find out when I can pick him up.

Feel guilty as I didn't think to take any of his food in, and they don't have SS, so he'll have an upset tummy for a few days when he gets back..

Thanks everyone, he's back now :D :D :D

We had a big cuddle in the car, and I've put him back in the hutch with Matilda (sorry I think that's the final name for her!), she had a sniff at him, and went back down to the run.

He seems a bit quiet, but I think he was quiet for a day or too last time he had his teeth done.

I'm much happier now :D

Awww he'll be back to normal in no time. My Zippy goes in for her dental next Tuesday, I'm going to be a bg of nerves then :lol: .
 
Thanks - he is currently sat next to Matilda munching his hay.

Looks like he is going to need 4 weekly dentals - such is life, but he is worth it..
