I understand how hectic things must be with mom trying to get everything away, all the commotion, Mickey can be picking up on this and is getting stresses out.
Poop should be a med. golden brown depending on what kind of kibble he eats, the darker the kibble, the darker the poop.
I would measure out Mickey's water to see how much he drinks in a day. Use a measuring cup, give 1/2 a cup of water, when you give fresh water measure what is left in his bowl, this way you can see how much water he drank, this is important to know "if" you have to take him to the vet.
It could be all this excitement going on. I read in another thread of yours Mickey was staying somewhere else for a few days while you were packing and moving. So he went from his house to someone else, then came to the new house with all this hustle and bustle going on, then you are stressed out over Mickey and he feeds off everyone's emotions. Try to stay calm for Mickey's sake. I know if you could, you would take Mickey to the vet, mom knows Mickey very well, I am sure if she thought he was in danger she would take him to the vet. Please keep us updated. |
I kinda worry too much I guess. It's who I am.
Yes, he was staying with someone else while we were moving all of our stuff. He went from there to this new house. It's definitely a huge change for him in such little time.
All of the commotion has gone down really, just a one or two people coming in to do all the last minute things everyday. And we are almost done unpacking as well, so hopefully this is the time everyone can finally start calming down.
Thanks for all your help, I'll reply with an update asap when Mickey has another bowel movement.
So far he's been okay today, nothing unusual. He doesn't have much of an appetite right now but as far as I know he had finished his brunch. Hopefully he eats his dinner before bedtime in a few hours.
Edit: about the chicken broth- I told my brother to bring chicken thighs and I told him what I was gonna do with them too. He just said he'll bring broth, and I'm not the kind to argue with him so I just let him. I used as little as I could in his water bowl though.
