    Unusual behavior. Uncertain

    I think i'm going to try different wet cat foods an baby foods. I picked up one gerber chicken and some organic beef and liver cat food. He seemed interested at first, but then I think he rejected them. They were left in his bowl so I wasn't poking at him all the time, but he ignored it. And he...

    Do you have any suggestions for low fat foods? Also, he seems to be rejecting one of his medicines. I think he started not to like the taste (one is turkey, one is chicken), but I'm not sure which flavor it is lol. Until I can ask the vet for a different flavor is there anything I could mix it...

    I agree, and I'm going to call the vet tomorrow morning. But I was hoping for a little guidance as to what might be the issue. I don't want to get swindled by a vet i don't know who wants to test everything and charge me a thousand dollars. I can list his symptoms, but I'm not sure what it means...

    Ok, so my boyfriend and i have a hedgehog named Cosgrove. I think he's 3 close to four. I'm not sure since we got him from a friend who couldn't take care of him anymore. Anyway, we went away for a few days and on coming back Cosgrove's been acting weird. Note, we didn't leave him alone...
