I just got Hershel on friday, and since then i've noticed that he has been peeing and pooping less than what he normally does. I got him from the humane society where i work, and so i know his bathroom habits (he was a very dirty boy, peed and pooped everywhere). He also doesn't seem to be eating very much He's on different food then what we feed them at the shelter (I bought him a really good timothy hay based pellet). I'm not sure if it just seem like he's going to the bathroom less because he is in a bigger area and has full run of the basement when i'm home (so for several hours a night) or if the medication/stress etc...have caused him to stop going to the washroom. He runs around like nobodies business and seems to be feeling well otherwise.
another thing-he used to be really good at taking his medicine (he has medicine for an eye problem he has, and is now also on a pain killer for after the surgery) but now he shakes his head and just generally seems to hate taking his meds. I'm guessing that is semi normal (who likes taking meds right?!?) but i'm also aware that behavior changes like that can mean he's sick....He has a vet apt. on thursday, but do you think i should see if i can get him in earlier???
