Hey folks. Our oldest, Hoppy, has been acting a bit strange since Thursday. He has some symptoms that could be GI stasis, we talked with a vet about that. The main thing there is our vet told us a while back to stop feeding him lettuce and give him kale instead. Well lately he suddenly isn't very interested in kale but he will eat lettuce if I give him some. Don't know if that means he's just tired of kale?
Anyway, here's the main problem: something just seems off with Hop. He seems to be favoring his right front leg a little. It's not broken, nothing looks wrong with the leg or the paw, but it just seems like when he sits he's leaning over on that side more, as if it's hurting him. But he can stand on it, put weight on it, he can even walk on it. He doesn't object to us touching that leg, or anything else on him for that matter. (Hop generally doesn't like to be held anyway, so him being "stand-offish" or resisting being picked up isn't unusual.) His head isn't tilting or anything, but he just doesn't seem right. Any suggestions?
