10. So glad to hear he's starting to act normal again.

If he had any flea-related anemia, it could take about five days after the flea treatment for his red blood cells/hemoglobin to recover. I hope it's either that or that he's taking a while to get over his trip to the vet and the smell of the topical medicine.

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
