Then all of a sudden, starting yesterday, he refused to go near his food just like he did with his old food. I don't understand. For days I tried his new food and he loved it. And what's weird is that he is completely housebroken. He ALWAYS uses the wee wee pad whether in our home or any other places. Then starting last night, he pooped ALL OVER the house in the most random places. In my bedroom, in the foyer, in the kitchen ... and tonight he started peeing everywhere!!!!!! WHAT IS GOING ON???
Is he sick? Besides the changing of his food, which was done last week there has been nothing different in his diet. The only changes that occurred is that my husband did leave for a business trip yesterday morning so he was not home last night and tonight. But Charlie was never really closed to my husband. He'd never followed him around, where as he would with me.
I don't understand what is going on. Please give me some advice on what I should do. Should I bring him to the vet???? |
Bailey used to be a VERY picky eater too. The food could be upsetting his little tummy and this could be a way he's letting you know. I used to try to entice bailey to eat by putting crackers on his food, but I didn't want him to think he was going to get treats everytime he ate breakfast or dinner. Then I tried to hand feed him and again I didn't want him getting spoiled and think he was going to be hand fed at every meal. When Bailey has an upset tummy he doesn't think about where his piddle pad is, he just kinda lets it go. I finally gave in and took him to the vet and it turns out that he has IBS. They put him on Prescription ID food that he'll be on for the rest of his life (because he got so sick once I almost lost him). Now he loves his food and eats it right up! It's basically just rice and meat. Maybe a vet call is in order, just to be safe... You would hate this to be a serious problem. Although this could be nothing too... I took Bailey because he started vomiting too. Good luck!
