Poor Honey is still acting sick. I had him checked for worms at the vet's, since his only symptom was losing weight. His appetite is good, drinking normally, but he was thin. Vet chalked it up to the rapid changes in the weather as all his physical signs were normal. Eyes, bright, activity level normal, heart rate good, etc. This was on Thursday. Parasite screening was negative, weight was 1 lb 8 ozs. His usual weight is just under 2 lbs, varies a bit.
Today when I went to feed, he is acting lethargic. Appetite is still good though, gave him his morning greens and he ate like no tomorrow. I don't have a scale at home right now, but I can tell that he has lost more weight. Eyes are still bright, actively checking things out, etc. but if you come from the side and give him a gentle touch, he just falls over. He lays there for a second than gets up. I've put up a light for him since he feels cold to the touch.
Anyone have any ideas? He is eating approx 1/4 - 1/2 cup of Purina premium pellets, has constant access to timothy hay as well as greens given once a day. The other 2 buns are on the same diet and are still fat and happy
