Okay, day three after surgery is not going very well. I am VERY worried, so what follows is my venting/concerns. Now, let me start off with saying, I am very paranoid about Loki in general. This I am aware of, just so you all know.
Anyway, yesterday he ate about half a cup of dry food but not his mouse. He played with it and killed it but did not eat it. He also only urinated one time, as best I can figure. He normally urinates twice a day.
Today, before I left for work he did not eat his mouse nor his dry food. He played with the mouse and killed it, but yet again did not eat it. He ate about twenty pieces of dry food, before I left. But that was all. He is still drinking "normally" (it is hard to tell since he spills and plays in it). He is NOT dehydrated right now. So, that is a plus.
I of course called my "cat vet" and exotic vet ( the one I take the small exotic mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians to). They both think I am losing my grip on "reality". My cat vet said so, I work for him, so its fine
.
The breeder and my own experience with hybrids and pure exotics has taught me that they can just starve themselves to death under some circumstances. I have seen normal healthy Bobcats do this. Even upon necropsy, they seemed healthy. I really do not want to see my Loki go that way, but I know it can happen.
So in closing, LDG, Carolina, Feralver, Sharky and one anyone else please give me your thoughts.
