She is at the teething stage. She likes to chew on everything, I even had to buy a carpet scratching post for her to chew on to keep our walls and furniture safe. I've noticed some of her bottom baby teeth have fallen out. Yes, she is eating hard food. She has been eating kibbles and bits for months now. I did notice in her throw up that one type of the bits in it was whole, like she didn't even bother chewing some of the food. It could be the cause of her throwing up (when she was a few weeks old I couldnt give her any kind of chunky canned food because she would throw it up) And when I gave her the treats the night before, with the bisquits she put it in her mouth then dropped it until I crumbled them to tiny peices but she ate the soft meat pieces fine.
You may be onto something with her teeth hurting her. Thanks for that thought, it does make me feel a little better about this. The downside is she won't eat the food at all if I try soaking it before giving it to her so I may have to move her back to canned for a while if it truly is just teething.
I haven't noticed any changes in her stool or pee. For the past week or two she has been starting to pee off of her pad, but I think that may be more of a case of being stubborn or lazy. I don't think she is drinking any more or less water than normal.
Like both of you, I am concerned about avoiding a weekend ER visit. I don't think I'll be able to convince my mom to take her to the vet, especially if I mention it could be teething. I think I may just call the vet and try to talk to her over the phone first thing in the morning. |
