I'm a little worried about Leo today. He's not a frequent vet visitor. In fact, the dental spur procedure he had about 2 and a half months ago, was the first time in the 2 years we've had him, since he needed to see a vet.
But today I am a little worried. He seemeed ok first thing - had some breakfast and both he and Flo were out in the garden for a couple of hours. Since he came in, mid morning, he's been very sullen. He's sort of hidden himself in the sleeping area in the kitchen. I wouldn't usually be concerned, but usually when we are home, Leo and Flo will spend all indoors time in the living room under the table. But he hasn't done that.
And the most concerning is that when I offered him his favorite treatos - cranberries or crunchies, he looks at them as if he wants to eat them, but then stops himself.
I've tried putting some fresh parsley and corriander down for him and he sniffs that and looks like he wants to eat that, but again, he choses not to.
He is drinking ok from the bowl. He's done a couple of quite loose poop outputs, not watery but very soft.
He and Flo spent an hour in the garden from 5:30pm - 6:30pm and he never really ate any grass. He came in for tea and hasn't touched the fresh greens, fresh herbs and even ignored his favorite pro fibre pellets. Still not interested in treatos either. He's just sitting back in the sleeping area. - Oh, hold that thought, he's come out now and sitting near Flo - near the food dish.
We have given him some metacam and metaclopromide about an hour ago - in case he had some discomfort and also to try to kick start an appetite.
Ah- my wife has just advised me (as she sits closer to the kitchen than I do), that Leo is nibbling - so thar's a positive.
I'm concerned it might be dental spurs but it's been less than 3 months since his last dental procedure. However, his symptoms were similar.
I'm wondering if it's possible fur ingestion - but he has never had an issue with fur ingestion previous.
As it's bank holiday, the vets are closed - and I'm holding back doing the emergency out of hours vets. But I will if I have to.
If there's no change by the morning then I'll take him to our vets at the earliest appointment I can get.
Any bun have any thoughts on what might be the issue? I know I'm only describing general observations, but he's definately not his usual self. I dont know if this is just a blip or if it's something more.
I'll update as we go.
