Her eating habits aren't getting any better. She has very little interest in eating. Her food goes untouched for hours. Sometimes she comes back for it later, and sometimes she doesn't. I hand fed her both of her meals yesterday...it was the only way I could get her to eat. She has been drinking water without any problem, though.
We had pet stairs at one point, and we actually got rid of them because she didn't want to use them. We tried treats and everything, she just wanted to jump up on and down off of the couch.
I'm feeling pretty defeated here and I worry about her constantly when we aren't with her. I'm also worried that the vet doesn't seem to see an obvious course of action. He was a great vet when our hamster was sick last year...so I trust his judgment. |
I am here to tell you I have been through everything you are going through. Like I said in my previous post we spent hundreds of dollars with no diagnosis. We would hand feed Georgie as well he wouldn't eat otherwise and after he was diagnosed who could blame him???? I encourage you to insist on x-rays of the neck and spine. Full panel bloodowork was done on Georgie no issues, urine sample no issues, chiropractic adjustments (which could have killed him by the way
) no improvement. One x-ray and he was diagnosed.
I should also note he had surgery to repair his AAI in September 2011 and he is now eating out of his bowl, running like a brand new boy and we are all as happy as can be
The day after the surgery he was standing up and after a few days we had to sedate him to prevent him from running.
