Hi I have a question my baby Nutella all of a sudden started to act different .. she was eating and then I noticed her scratching in all different parts of her body non-stop. I feel like something is wrong. She also started to get a little bit aggressive towards me, that is not like her at all. She is a cuddle bug! I actually hold her at night and scratch/ rub her til she falls asleep. so So to see her this way is heart breaking! Could she be having an allergic reaction to something ? If so can I give benedryl? She has me worried

Can you give us a little more history? How old is she? When did you get her? Are you using any soap products on her? What about laundry products in her bedding? She sounds uncomfortable alright.

She is since 6 months old and was raised with her brother til he unexpectedly passed . I have a few forums on here from having previous concerns and she was taken care of immediately.
She seems to be acting nutty spactic movements at times.. she is eating just fine. The aggression started yesterday and then she seemed to be off today and then the itching nonstop started a few moments before I messaged. Her diet is henerys block kale cucumber Avacodo broccoli carrots squash brussel sprouts plums apples kiwi mango . She gets a a block in the morning a big veggie dish for lunch a block then veggies for supper and fruit for bedtime snack . I did give her grape fruit for the first time today because I felt she was getting bored with her food so I tried something different. I never used to give her nuts but now she is getting hazelnuts walnuts and pecans .. she was getting one a day for a while but now she gets 2 at times I did wash the blanket that was on top of her cage where she plays the most.
One other thing is she feels hotter than usual . I can actually feel heat coming from her

Sorry trying to type nervously didn't realize all the mistakes in the posts. But she is 6 months old I found her when she was about a week old!

I don't have your answer, but I would start by taking that blanket out in case she is having a reaction to the laundry detergent. Maybe back off the nuts and grapefruit since that is what changed. Is her skin pink anywhere in particular?

This is worrisome. I would move it to Emergency so someone senior responds.

Hello Shellbee,

Do you have or can you get a recent weight just in case meds are indicated?

And recent pictures may help.

How long ago did brother pass?

Do you have any idea the cause?

Please keep checking back or as JLM said, start another post in Emergency, Life Threatening. That thread is monitored closer I think.

Keep us posted on any changes and thank you for caring for your baby!

Her brother passed when they were around 3-4 months old..
I do not have an approximate weight on her . I can try to get one on her tonight before she settles down for bed.
She is no longer itching but acting very strange and seems to be a little off at times. I can't figure out what's wrong with her . She seems to be eating and drinking fine. She will be grooming my hand and then will literally attack it . It's not her playing attack either.
It's like she is trying to tell me something at times . She will jump around and it's almost like she doesn't realize she is doing it. I'm not sure how to explain it! I'm really worried about her. I'm actually headed to pets Mart right now to see about getting her a full spectrum light. Its too cold to be outside! I'm trying to think of everything I can to figure this out! I will try to upload photos of her it's been a little while since I did it. Thanks for all the help, you guys are amazing !

Sorry, not sure how to make the pics small.. not even that great of pics but when I am choosing the pic to upload they are super small so it's hard to see. My apologies!
