Well Patches has had a week since he went to the vet, but he's still not really back to normal. [View all]

He’s not doing most of his normal stuff like going in the bedroom and sleeping with me at night. The fleas are pretty much gone, but he still has itches from the bites. I don’t know what to do to get him interested again. I don’t think he really trusts me or something. He’s eating and jumping into a cardboard box and such. I guess I just have to give him time, any suggestions?

Have you tried offering him some treats? Siwsan Sep 2024 #1

I'll try that thanks. He is eating little bits of grilled chicken if I shredded up for him. And he has eaten cat food, Walleye Sep 2024 #2

They certainly do pick up on our vibes Siwsan Sep 2024 #3

Might he be feeling weird from his topical meds? SheltieLover Sep 2024 #4

Well, we just had a good time making him go back into the house after trying to join me on the porch Walleye Sep 2024 #5

Awwww I'm so glad he's getting back to normal SheltieLover Sep 2024 #6

Yeah, that was one of his old tricks. He's like "mom you left his paper bag on the floor." Walleye Sep 2024 #7
