Gerbil Health
Thought I'd try here as the gerbil forums are pretty inactive.
I'm a little bit worried about Murphy. Normally he'd be rushed to the vets but this is different.
He turned 3 in November and he lost his cage mate last March but he's always been healthy. The last few days he's looked very skinny and is often hunched over with his eyes closed. The corner of his right eye looks quite red too.
He's never been a cuddler but he's refusing to let me touch him and he's gettting quite agitated. I'm wondering if age has caught up with him or if it's a possible illness that could be cured?
He'd hate to be poked and prodded at a vets and he hates leaving his tank since his brother passed away, he gets himself into such a state.
What can I do for him?
