Should I remove the blankets from the traps to check on them for a moment? I realized I haven't taken the time to check on how they are physically whatsoever other than getting a peek at DC's head and enough of a glimpse of Puff to see whether he was shivering or had was taking slow/shallow breaths.
I ask because I feel like every time I've gone in there more tufts of DC's fur are on the floor. Whether it happened when he was initially trapped or he's doing it to himself in there now, I don't know, but I'm wondering if I should check on their condition. I haven't pulled the blankets back all the way because I didn't want to stress or disturb them.. I still don't... but it keeps nagging at me when I go in there and there is more fur on the ground.
I also went to check to see if they'd eaten, since they haven't had much whatsoever the past few days. I didn't give them a full mean, just half of what they'd normally have. DC flipped his bowl completely over and hadn't eaten and Puff has not touched the bowl at all. I'm not entirely surprised by this, but given that they've had very little food prior to this, I am a bit concerned if the don't eat soon. What are their eating habits generally like during this process? Not post-op, but just a holding period. At what point should I be worried?
