One of my silkies is having this same problem. I am now concerned because she is also growing weak. I am mildly concerned that it is because she can’t see well enough to find her food and water. If anyone has suggestions, I would love to know your thoughts.
Thanks for the suggestion. We thought this might be the problem because she had had larger than normal, but infrequent poops. We’ll try the coconut oil tonight and hope for great results.
My 16 year old daughter is interested in Silkies, so we are now the proud owners of 4! It has already been an adventure mixed with some sadness (1 is ill). Any advice is welcomed.
We bought 4 Silkies 2+ weeks ago. All 4 we’re thriving until 2 days ago when one became lethargic and could no longer stand. She is still eating and drinking if food/water is directly in front of her, but she cannot easily move to eat. She is being fed by hand, but not sure what else we can do...
