Thread: Fred has stopped playing and eating as much - should I worry?

I am keeping my fingers crossed for poor Fred and hope the improvement will be permanent.

It is so heart breaking to see a little one suddenly go poorly. Same happened with El Monto when we had him for about a week… lethargic, off his food, feverish. The weekend vet gave him a shot for the fever which worked initially. But the following morning the symptoms had returned and he had also developed a limp. Our regular vet gave him another shot and kept him in for observation for a few hours. After he’d perked up we took him home with a course of antibiotics.

The vet never knew what was wrong with him, but I suspect it was an adverse reaction to the vaccinations he’d received shortly before we got him. Particularly because of the limp, which often accompanies such an adverse reaction.

Good luck with Fred!
