Hey guys,
Ripley has started a new thing recently and I'm starting to get worried. It's getting colder here so at first I dismissed his shivering as a reaction to the weather but now I'm starting to think it's something else. It's been going on for about two weeks now. I've done everything I can think of to warm him up but nothing is working. Last night he crawled up on the bed with me and I buried him in blankets and he still shook.
On top of the trembling I haven't been able to get enough water in him. He will drink until he's sick and then he'll drink some more. I've caught him licking the bath tub more than once. I work during the day but I leave a bowl of fresh water for him in the kitchen and then try and give him as much as he wants when I get home. Except he can't get enough!
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Maybe he's super dehydrated somehow and that's why he's shivering?
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
