Solomon's health problems started with an unfortunate eye injury. Which developed into an infection requiring oral antibiotics. Which zapped his appetite and seriously slowed his gut. Then he developed a bladder stone with blockage, very painful. Still battling the anorexia. The euthanasia word was discussed but the stone was in the urethra and they were able to manually work it out which extended his life and I am so thankful! That was 4 days ago. He still eats very little on his own so I continue to syringe feed. He is not pooping normally at all, amount or size and color. He is getting Benebac for gut health. He is drinking and peeing normally, I think. But one other strange thing I've noticed is that he is chewing things he never used to chew... paper (lines his hay bin litter box), wooden chew toy, and plastic. I'm wondering why and if that might be a symptom of another problem. Your insight would be very much appreciated as to what might be going on with the chewing...
