Hello,
I am so glad to have found this forum. I intend to call the vet in the morning, but until then I need some advice.
Gracie is a Florida White, resuced at aprox. age 4 months. She is now 3 years old, and lives in a large pen on the floor of my bedroom with her husband, Jacoby. Her diet consists of 1/4 cup of Timothy hay pellets for breakfast, Timothy hay all day and night, and 1-2 cups of leafy greens for dinner.
She has had bouts of pasteurella and EC in the past, but has been well recently. I tried her on beet greens today, which she was eating about 3 hours ago. Now she has the same look on her face that she has in the past when having a gas attack, and will not eat her nightly raisin(highly unusual). She is in her vacation villa and won't come out.
I did administer 1/2 ml of the simithecone. I am wondering what else I should be doing, and when I should give her more of the meds(and is this the right dose?).
I have noticed that she is going through a major molt right now, and when you pat her, fur flies in the air. Chunks are hanging out at the bottom of her body, which I have been combing. The top is done shedding, but I've noticed she feels bonier. Could this be an illness or simply a thinner summer fur coat?
I am so worried so any response would be great. I will not go to sleep tonight until she at least eats a bit of hay. Thank you!
