Wise Old Thumper
Today Heidi, a mini rex with short, soft, shiny black fur, decided that she wanted in on some of the extra attention her friends have been getting; so she decided to give me a scare.
The last couple days she was shedding just a little bit. Yesterday I thought she was not herself. She was drinking a bit less water and not quite as active even though she had good pee and poo and was eating pellets and hay. I groomed her well to remove the little bit of loose fur before sleeping. Sunday morning she did not run for her pellets and she drank less water than she normally does. There were many poos in her litterbox, yet they I thought they were from last night so I cleaned her litterbox again. She was also not as active. She got some pain meds and motility meds. When we returned from church, she had made some fresh poos. They were drier than usual and a couple were longer, more oval shaped. Upon inspection I saw one of the oval poos was almost entirely fur. In the evening her litterbox was changed again. I gave her sub Q fluids and another dose of motility meds (she jumped right out of the needle the first time). She went right to eating her fresh pellets and hay and made me some fresh pee and poo.
Even though she is shedding very little, she grooms herself a lot.
Please send me vibes that I can keep her groomed and passing any bits of fur she ingests.
