Concerns around eating, pooing and weight loss
Posted: 05 Aug 2018, 13:06
Hello,
My lovely old spurthigh has been enjoying the weather but over the last couple of weeks I've developed some concerns. He is eating fine (just being picky about what he does eat) but nothing much is coming out the other end... He's not a big drinker (or bather, never has been, he acts like he's allergic to water as soon as his belly hits the bath!), so have been keeping him hydrated with cucumber. I weighed him about 3 weeks ago and he'd lost weight so I upped his food and varied it a little more but having weighed him again today he's still losing weight.
Does anyone have any suggestions of what might be up with him, or what I could perhaps do to encourage some bowel movement?
Thanks
Flora
