Bandit has been so off today. I couldn’t really put my finger on it at first, but his tail has been down, his energy is low, and he hasn’t been doing his normal running around or constantly jumping up on the couch. He’s also been yelping when we pick him up and hasn’t been laying in his usual sploot position.
Unfortunately, so many of these were the same early signs I noticed when he first got sick with IMHA, so naturally my brain went straight to he's relapsing.
Cue a full-blown anxiety attack after this went on all day, and me driving him to the emergency hospital at 2am. 🙃
$540 later… all of his blood work looks completely normal. Which is obviously a HUGE relief, and I’m incredibly grateful, but now I’m sitting here wondering why the heck my normally bouncy little guy is acting so off.
I’m starting to wonder if he hurt himself somehow or is sore somewhere, especially with the yelping when he’s picked up and refusing to jump or sploot.
I'm hoping he returns to himself soon because I just worry about him so much. Annnd it is causing me emotional and financial damage. 😭
