Help!! My baby has quit eating!!! I've had Lorence for a little
a month...He has had this eye infection most of this time... I bought
him from Petco (I didn't know he was wc...but he is in better hands
now anyway)...My vet has given eye drops,but the infection persists.
he has been off his food for about 5 days now...My vet had given
some oral medicine which he didn't like...I'm thinking this is why
he has quit eating...However, I live in a small city..finding different
greens for him is hard...I've had him on escarole, endive, and mustard
greens (he refuses kale)...I've even tried handfuls of lawn grass, with
dandelions and clover...still he won't eat.. It is still a bit to cold
for Lorence to graze outside (it barely reaches 75)...I've ordered cactus
pads and supplements, and Annie's Pasture Mix...just waiting on it to
arrive...I'm starting to grow watercress as well..
Please..does anyone have any ideas????
I am giving calcium drops I found at Petco..but these don't help if
he won't eat the food...
