Jason Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hi, Maybe someone could give me some advice on Ernie, my 6 month old CAG. I am a bit worried that he might be ill. I came home from work today and for the last few hours he has been out of his cage and its like he is depressed or something. He is very quiet, usually he is so active and vocal. Today he has hardly said anything. All he wants to do is just sit on my shoulder. He does not seem to have an interest in anything. He seems to have eaten some of his food and his feces looks normal. Anyone have any ideas ?? or seen this behaviour before ?? Thanks in advance Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Jason, sometimes they have a quiet day, just like us. He could just be more tired today. If he is eating and pooping normally, then he's probably okay. But certainly, if he is still quiet tomorrow, I would take him into the vet asap for a check up. Greys hide their illness so well. Please keep us posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
she Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 They do sometimes have quiet days but If he is not right tomorrow or if you think he is going down a bit get to a vet asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Char Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Glad Ernie is ok. Whisper has days like that too. Which is why one of the things she says is "Are you okay?" I used to get all worried too when she would have a quiet day. Now sometimes I welcome one every now and then.:cheer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
