I am a complete helicopter car mom. Hariette just went to the vet about 2 weeks ago and al of her blood work was perfect. She weight just shy of 9 lbs.
Yesterday, I noticed that she hadn't eaten her food. I ran out of her specialty diet food and gave her kitten food in the few days that it took to get her specialty food. When I weighed her last night, she was 8.2lbs. I am absolutely terrified. Should I bite the bullet and take her back into the vet?
She is back to eating her specialty food as of this morning. She is drinking, pooping, peeing, but we are dealing with a nasty flea infestation. She is covered with fleas. I just gave her the between the shoulders treatment this afternoon to help with this. Her skin is also a little on the flaky side, which I think is due to fleas.
She seems a little mopey, definitely not like herself. This has all happened in the course of a day and a half, so I know I might be panicking for nothing.
Should I give her another day or two or take her in ASAP?
