Pennyâs history:
* July 06, loose tooth removed.
* Aug 06, Jaw abscess on another side, with 2-3 teeth removed. This is the reason for her malocclusion, we have to trim her incisors almost every month. Stopped eating hay, completely.
* April 08, Loose tooth removed.
New incident:
About ten days ago Penny started to eat poorly, vet and I suspected molar spurs. When he put her under and took a look, indeed the molars were a problem. They got trimmed.
After the surgery, Penny recovered as usual and was almost back to normal within two days and then just stopped eating her pellets. Stopped eating her wet pellets, pellet mesh with banana and veggies. Now, couple times a day, she comes and nibbles at about 5 wet pellets at a time and runs off now. She is still eating her veggies but poorly about half as much.
The most bizarre thing is that she started eating (very little) of hay that she hasnât eaten for 2 years. She is also running around the house trying to find paper to eat. Newspaper, cardboard boxes, Kleenex box.
We are force feeding her for now. The poop size and qty is almost back to normal, but she still wonât eat on her own.
Going to the vet on Tues. What do you guys think?
EDIT: She is eating her hard pellets now, the whole day. YAY!
