Thread: Is this normal?! anyone else's MC sleep like this?!

Ava wheezes like a steam train just before she goes to sleep, then it's all normal, but not until I've convinced myself that she is about to die. Sidney snores at times. Sometimes you can hear him upstairs when he's downstairs. Both went through grumpy patches then grew about 6 inches overnight, they are starving one day and think the food is inedible the next day and won't go near it.

Basically, they will try to keep you on the edge of a nervous breakdown for as long as possible. If the vet thinks he is basically ok, try to relax, enjoy playing and go back in a few weeks if you are still worried. Keep an eye on his weight, it should go up a bit each week, say 50-100 g give or take. If he eats more it will be more, if he's very active it will be less. It just shouldn't go down very much over a couple of weeks! Don't weigh him daily, though, that way leads straight to a gibbering wreck as a MC poo is a substantial item and make a big difference to the weighing!

Finally, our old cocker spaniel slept in exactly that position. I thought she'd dislocated her hips the first time she did it. But she hadn't. Just trying to wind me up...
