        Charlie is almost 6 years old. She does get occasional bouts of stasis and I have medication from her vet to use whenever she seems to be starting.
        The problem right now is she refuses to eat Timothy hay. This started a couple weeks ago with a slow down in consumption. It was a bag of Oxbow that was as green as I usual like to see. I figured maybe it was just that bag and got her a different brand she loves. Still turning her nose up.

        She is eating her greens, eating very rock hard oxbow treats… like the lollipop on a stick, eating her vitamins, pellets, etc. I had wondered about teeth but with the super hard crunchy stuff she’s taking doesn’t make sense.

        The only hay she will eat right now is meadow grass.
        She did seem to be starting some stasis the past weekend, so I started her meds. She went 12 hours without pottying. After starting med she is pottying a fairly decent amount Saturday night, Sunday and she had a good pile this morning.

        However still does not want anything to do with Timothy hay. Only meadow grass and she will only eat that if she can pull it directly from the bag herself. She ate a lot of meadow grass this morning.

        I do have an appt schedule with her vet for tomorrow. But I’m super puzzled over this.
