One of my females Maisy is losing weight rapidly. Since last saturday she has lost 74g and is losing about 10-15g a day.
She is currently at the vets who are looking for teeth problems. However, i'm not convinced thats the problem as its sudden weight loss, she's been eating up until yesterday. She isn't dribbling etc. She felt her abdomen and there doesn't seem to be any lumps as far as she can feel indicating a blockage/cancer etc.
She had a cyst lanced a few months ago on her rump. They said to me about removing it properly while she is under but i have said to only do it if it's her teeth that are the problem. I feel that if she is losing weight for another reason then it's unfair to have lumps chopped out of her when she isn't well anyway. Its not causing her any problems at all so if she makes it then i can arrange for it to be removed in the future. Do you think i'm wrong to do this?
I tried syringing her some mushed up pellets last night. She took only 1ml willing and i then had to force feed her but she was really distressed and did not want to eat anything at all.
Does anyone have any ideas what could possibly be wrong with her?
