Ok, I was only in California a week. Apparently Molly barely touched her food the whole week I was gone, and acted as if she was spooked of the bowl. I suggested that my Mom moved the bowl, tried a different bowl, etc. and see if that helped. It didn't. Now, Molly will play with the rug under her bowl, .. like she's trying to flip it over.
We went out the other night and came home and found she had dragged the rug across the room, and had flipped the water bowl upside down, ruining the lamenent flooring.
Can anyone explain this behaviour?
Molly still isn't eating (much). In the week I was gone, she probably lost between 5-10 pounds.
We've stopped adding the canned food to their dry, and have been adding ground beef, which has resulted in her eating more. But still not enough to satisfy me. I'm thinking she doesn't like the kibble.
So, since March, Molly has had an infection from her spaying, an apparent false pregnancy, weird eating behaviour, and now has lost a lot of weight. I measured her today and she is just over 19". Last time she was at the vets, she weighed 35lbs, but I'm sure she's 20-25lbs now. How much should she weigh right now? Because she's very bony now. I can feel her chest bones, her thigh bones, and her ribs.
For 3 weeks she was blowing her coat like MAD, it's not so bad anymore. But she has almost-bald spots just before her thighs now.
I can't help but think that she could possibly have another underlying problem, all of this stemming from it. I wasn't sure where to post this, because half of it IS health, a little is behaviour.
What I want to know is, what do you all think of this?
