Barney is home and doing well U/D 26th May

Sorry for the slow reply. Barney is good, he has been eating more veg and getting out of the sulk he was in after i minimalised his pellets! he is mainly having cauliflower and apple but has had some brocolli and carrot too :D going to order some oxbow food and a hay experts selection for him today to see if i can tempt him.
 
Barney has snapped his front top teeth off! happened sometime yesterday :shock:i check him out when seemed to be struggling with some carrot! snapped right off up level with the gum! he has fodd processed veggies since i realised! cauliflower and brocolli yest and carrot and apple today. seems to be eating well but doesnt seem to have as much energy i think i will have to give him a whole egg cup full of pellets tonight!
 
could be. i am hoping that its only because of his bone condition, FHB said that although his bones were more dense, this means they are more brittle.
 
yeah i think i might do today... i realised on Saturday that his teeth were a bit long so i was going to call and ask if she could trim them when i go back at the weekend, then i looked yesterday and this had happened! bottom ones still need trimming though.

on the plus side he wound is healing and doesnt seem to be any signs of any infection in his eye now - normal shape and size and normal temperature :)
 
just phoned up to ask, she is not in til wednesday but SOME OF THE LADIES THAT ANSWER THE PHONES ARE A BIT RUDE. :? and unhelpful.
 
thanks :D . He is eating well despite the lack of teeth so i am positive.

I found out he likes tea though! i know they are not supossed to have it but i thought he was only going to sniff it then he started lapping! It was weak though and I think its only the caffeine thats bad.
 
barney likes parsley! He has lost a bit of weight :))) but i think this is because i haev cut back on pellets, will ask abotu this when i go back sunday. he is wanting to eat lots though which pleases me. he found the cupboard where i keep the food though! i lost him and thats where i found him ... hoovering up all the pellets i had spilt the other day!

cheeky boy:lol:my husband once came out of the kitchen saying there was a funny noise in there.it took us a while to figure it out but we opened the kitchen cupboard door to find Bob sat in there munching on a bag of pasta shells!!! The thing is he must have snuck in there when I went in to get a bottle of lemonade out about an hour before!!!:shock: I only hope he's binkying free with his bag of pasta shells at the bridge bless his little heart.;)
