Hi everyone!
Lemon recently suffered his first bout of GI stasis. Took him to the vet for critical care and pain meds, and he's back to full health.
However, in his recovery his appetite has increased massively. I've never seen him so excited for fresh hay and new veggies before, but now he's eatings both at a much faster rate. His interest in pellets has stayed about the same.
I'm just curious as to why his appetite has increased so much, it makes me nervous that something else is now wrong with him. He has also started laying in the "sprawl" position more often, but doesn't seem lethargic or uncomfortable like when he had stasis.
I'm wondering if perhaps he was just uncomfortable before and now he is more comfortable now so eating more and sitting more relaxed?
Am I just being paranoid?
Thanks all.
