Hello All
I’m looking for advice regarding my little Bertie.
He lost his sister Bella at the beginning of August and whilst his grief was deep, he has done so much better than we dared hope for (we’ve paired him with our solo bun Pepper, which really helped him).
He perked up and seemed to get back to himself, even being a bit naughty and jumping on furniture.
However, since yesterday he seems to have lost his appetite again. He’ll eat greens but not pellets or hay. He’s pee’d and there’s been a few poo’s but not many. We’ve given him two doses of Fibreplex to see if that helps. He’s had a few treats but doesn’t come charging at us for them like he has been doing.
He’s half-social, half-hiding (normally this wouldn’t worry me, but as he’s eating less, I’m a bit concerned).
He was at the vets about three weeks ago and his teeth were fine. Can that change so quickly or it is a slower issue?
I don’t know If I should give him critical care yet (he hates being fed and it was stressful to get Fibreplex into him)? I’m going to mash up some pellets for him to see if he’ll eat it himself.
I don’t know if it’s a fresh wave of grief or if he’s poorly...
