My boys are eating much less since their snip...
(As I type this watch three little maniacs jumping around chasing a fly, so health and fitness is ok...)
Well, since their snip and dental work a few of weeks ago (8th July to be precise) the boys have all been eating less and less. They were on "Antirobe" antibiotics for 10 days after the dental work to help damp down the gingivitis, every day they shared some white fish with their portions of antibiotics. They were eating OK at this point.
Now, for pretty much all of this week they have been eating much much less. Where they would polish off two tins of food for breakfast or dinner - max three a day between three! - now they have a few mouthfuls and then all wander off. I just put down half a tin for dinner and most is still there. They are also eating much less dry food looking at the feeding containers on the floor.
They had their first tinned tuna earlier this week in an attempt get get them eating, which did go quite quickly. The poo coming out the other end is as copious as ever, or so it seems.
Any ideas folks ? Is it the snip or the antibiotics being over ?
Leo has to go back to the vet on Thursday to have his vestigial teeth pulled, and if it continues I will seek advice them, but that is almost a week away. As I said at the top, they do seem themselves otherwise.
Thanks!
