Something is definitely off with Simba. I can’t figure it out. On the weekend we went for a long walk. When we came back, it was time for supper about an hour later. He was curled up on his bed. Not bugging us to eat. Weird. Put food out. He finally ambled over and ate it. Okaaayyy…..
That night (middle of night, I mean, after we had all been asleep for awhile): got up to let him out. He came back after presumably doing his thing. Back up to his bed. Seconds later, whining to go out. Huh? Let him out. Came inside and back to bed. Seconds later, whined to go out. This happened three times. Very unusual.
Next morning: Put food out. Stared at it. Picked some up. Dropped it out of his mouth. Nibbled those off the floor. After a bit of fussing around, ate the food. This is very weird. I thought maybe - something in his mouth? Tooth broken? He had chewed on a frozen stick while on the walk, so maybe? I tried to look at his mouth. He let me lift on side of the lips but growled slightly at me.
This was Sunday. Decided we’d see how he was that night.Ate his supper Sunday night, no issues. Ate breakfast and supper yesterday, no issues. Same routine of prancing around, anxious to eat like he usually does. Ok, so will keep an eye out but hopefully whatever it was is resolved or getting better. I did get a chance to look at both sides of the outside of his teeth yesterday, I didn’t see anything but couldn’t see the inside, of course.
Last night: the same wanting to be outside routine. He was in and out twice in the span of minutes. morning: looked at his food. Picked up a kibble. Dropped it on the floor. Drank his water. Went to bed.
His activity level is normal. Tail wagging, energy, happy to go for walks. Pees and poos normal. I did check the yard to see if there was any diarrhea or vomit anywhere. Nothing.
I’m still thinking maybe something in the mouth? I dunno. OH will have to take him to vet today as I’m working. Ugh. Not looking forward to that whole scenario as there is no way in God’s green earth he will let them look at his mouth. Our vet visits are not happy ones when they are just checkups.
It’s such a weird combo of symptoms!
