My 10 year old grey, Skamper is acting a little different. I have seen him bump his face into the coffee table leg a few times and he missed my lap a couple times so now I am worried about him. He is eating and drinking about the same but staying in his room (the glass enclosed patio) much more than he used to. He used to spend hours in the living room with me almost daily. He used to go outside and survey the backyard from his large wire outdoor enclosure every morning too. I don't see him outside at all now. Is he just getting old and less energetic? Does cold weather affect squirrels like it does older people? He doesn't act sick. His fur shines and is all thick and ready for winter and he grooms himself like usual.
I hesitate to take him to the vet because the doc always has to gas him so he can check him and that seems to traumatize him.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
