Hi, so yesterday I noticed Poggo ripping his fur of. it was bleeding. He is also losing quite a lot of fur. He has all the symptoms or Uri but he he is a big fatty and will eat anything an everything. He has also been going crazy lately but this morning he was just laying there and doing nothing. I am taking him to the vet tomorrow but is there anything I can do in the mean time I am also not letting him in his cage I have a set up on my bed with a towel then a box with hay and a bowl of water. byeeee squeakkkkkk
 
Is he eating and drinking? If not then you need to step in with syringe feeding to keep,his guts moving. Here is our syringe feeding guide. Complete Syringe Feeding Guide You can feed mushed up pellets if you don't have any recovery food to hand.
You say he has signs of a URI - what are those signs?
If he has gone downhill then I am sorry but I don't think he can wait til tomorrow to be seen by a vet. If he is lifeless then he needs to be seen by a vet as soon as possible.
 
Sorry he is poorly, hope you manage to get an emergency appointment for today. fingers crossed for him *hug*

Whereabouts on his body is he ripping the fur from ?
 
Really sorry he's going down hill. My advice would be to see a vet as quickly as possible. :ple: He dust really should be seen by a bet to be treated. Before this, also check for information and see if you can find the cause to tell to the vets!
 
Pulling his hair out could be a pain response, as others have said he needs to see a vet as soon as possible. Are you able to update your location on your profile (just the country if you are a minor) as it helps us with any advice we can give.
