I'm concerned about my old lady Crass, she's about 30 months now and is definitely showing her age, and last night she held her cheerio on the ground to eat it rather than sitting up, so obviously my first concern is PT, but I'm also thinking maybe it her HED is just at the point where she can't sit up to eat anymore.
She's been getting lazier and less agile over time, but last night I became worried when I noticed either blood or porph all over her hands and forearms, I wiped it off and found no visible injuries, so my two theories are either a nose bleed, or poor grooming (i.e. wiping porph off her nose, but not bothering to wipe it off her hands/arms.) After this happened I was watching her much more closely, so I noticed when I gave her a cheerio and she ate it on the floor. I gave her another, but this time with the camera ready:
And here's a vid of her walking around on my bed:
Crass is my first oldie, I've never actually witnessed PT, so I don't know if this is it or if she's just getting old and lazy.
So, that's my question - Old age or PT?
