Took my Benjamin MacBunnington the First to vet tonight. My own vets wern't available so I thought I'd give a different vet a go rather than do nothing.
Anyway, Benj hasn't been quite himself this last few days. Quieter, somewhat lethargic, and yesterday during a thorough examination I saw he was drooling slightly from one side of his mouth, so made appt first thing and took him down today.
Vet checked his teeth, said they slightly burred at back but didnt think it was enough to warrant anaesthetic at this point. Then he weighed him, 2.6kg. I was taken aback, and said weigh him again, his last weight was just under 3.8kg!!!!! Weighed again, and yes, 2.6!!!!!
Vet didnt seem concerned and discharged him with heavy dose of baytril.
I WAS concerned, VERY concerned, and started checking online the minute I got home.
10% weightloss seems to be considered serious. Benj, my poor Benj has lost around 30%!!
Ringing back first thing when my usual vet is there.
This is badly wrong isn't it. All I can think is Benjamin is dying, for whatever reason, whatever has gone so drastically and quietly wrong, I think he's going to slip away.
I know Ive been hit by a wave of panic, but it's not unjustified is it, I know
