Iva had my ‘quirrel, Echo, for about 6 weeks. She should be around 11-12 weeks now. Fully furred, playing, makes various sounds, jumps well, etc. but I have noticed that when she gets excited in her cage (when I get home, put away during cleaning, etc) she grooms or scratches herself a fair amount. When she is out of the cage she doesn’t really do this.
When I received her I did a physical assessment and did not note any fleas, worms, maggots, etc. And my vet cleared her of any issues.
I want to make sure this isn’t a developing issue or anything because I want her to be comfortable and healthy.
She did just finish a 5-6 day round of antibiotics to ensure the diarrhea she had was not caused by a virus or parasite. This was recommended by my vet, it cleared up almost overnight and has not returned.
Echo eats like a champ and it’s weening at all which I assume for any ailments is a good sign.
