        hey everyone

        So about 4 or 5 months ago marley stopped pooping as much as usual so i took her to the vet and was presscribed metochlopramide. Everything became normal in just a few days.

        The last couple days ive kind of thought that marley isnt eating as much as usual. I usually would give her pellets at night and they would be gone by morning, but sometime i go see her the next night and there are still some. Also I just completely cleaned her cage and took out like 2 giant handfulls of hay. so she isnt eating all that i though, she was just hiding it! Ive thought that for a while so i bought some orchard hay to mix in with it yesterday. And then this morning i gave her her usual amount of lettuce and all she ate was her carrott.

        My question was, is that i still have some metoclopramide left and thought that maybe i could give her some since it hasnt expired yet and see if that will help her eat more. and i wouldnt have to spend thee money on a vet visit. What do you guys think i should do?

          I think you should take her to the vet and have her checked out. Sometimes a change in eating behavior could be related to teeth or a number of other things. I would not give her the metroclopramide without checking with the vet who prescribed it.

            I would not recommend giving the metoclopramide.  It is used to get the gut moving- if there is a reason like a blockage that they gut is not moving- it could do more harm than good.
