Charlie is being very quiet apparently. I haven't seen him today but just got off the phone to the GF who said he isn't running around and normally runs around so much he shakes the cage. He's also not as chatty as he has been recently and when she takes him out he's just sitting on her chest letting her smooth him. Normally he's off exploring, walking right to the edge of the bed and just generally being naughty. Most alarmingly he apparently left some parsley tonight, he never ever does this. She said he's eating hay and things but just isn't himself. I'm worried.

Benny did the same before he died. He was quiet and seemed fed up in the morning then in the night couldn't support his own weight on one side and was lifting his head gasping for air. He was put to sleep a few hours later. I'm worried.
 
He just ate an apple treat apparently. He's been walking through his Chewb and through his hay but not running about. Hope he's just a bit tired or fed up. He's also chewing on some parsley now and purring when being smoothed.

Another thing, over the weekend (Sunday to be precise) he drank loads and loads of water. GF filled it up yetserday and he hasn't drunk as much today.

It is, i'm sure of that! The little ****er, if he's okay he'd better perk up soon or it's no parsley for a week, just carrot and corn. And certainly no apple treats or strawberrys.

Oh he is, so was Benny before he passed on. What makes it worse is that the GF works next door to a Waitrose. You give Charlie a bunch of flat leaf parsley from Tesco instead of curled leaf from Waitrose and you'll know all about it. I mean just look at his spoilt face in my avatar.

"And this is? Tesco parsley is it really? Is it really, I see. [walks away]"
