Hi all,
I wanted to see what you guys thought of this. Tia is going to be 3 years old this October (really hard to believe!) and I've noticed a few symptoms with her. The first thing I noticed started about 6-8 months ago (maybe more but not more than a year). She started to eat her treats slower than Chichi and Tribble. Both of them gobble up their treats in an instant it seems. The treats I usually feed are staceylwolf's cookies, rosehips and rosebuds.
Tia still chews sticks and other toys with the same vigor she always has. I don't believe she has dropped weight. I haven't been keeping weight as I should be but I'm going to start doing that. She looks the same size with a healthy round shape.
Another thing I've noticed is some crumbs around the food bowl. I can't say with 100% certainty that it's from Tia, but it just worries me. They are not always there though. She doesn't have any drool and her eyes are not watering.
What do you guys think? Should I just start monitoring weights and keep an eye out? Could this be the start of something or am I being paranoid?
